I am fascinated with the $500.00 car theory.
With car expenses mounting so much (inspection, tags, insurance, repairs, recalls, etc.) are there any
cars that are considered that reliable when they get to the $500.00 range?
I am sure the ins. is probably cheaper, but have read the theory that really inexpensive cars need repairs often enough that they tend to eat up the savings.
How do you know what care the person gave the car (eg oil changes).
Are these type of buys usually found on craiglist.
My sister got a $1500.00 old beat up pick up truck and she was amazed how people got out of her way when driving around and never tailgated her or cut in front of her. We thought that was the lowest financially you could go and have any type of reliability.
