AutoScout24: Detailseite

AutoScout24: Detailseite << leaning heavily towards this one though

What do you guys/girls think? Drive it until it falls apart, then buy another?

I'm looking for a short-distance vehicle that gets decent milage, and that I can park anywhere. Yes, I will have a motorcycle in a few days, but I need a car for when it's raining or snowing. I've always had a fascination with older hondas too, so this works out pretty well.

Good idea: Feeding pigeons in the park.

Bad idea: Feeding pigeons in the park...to a bear.

The end!

P.S. I like the first one.

ok, so, the first one, even with all of the chassis rust..... How much work you think it'd be to fix that rust on a 24 year old car?

The second one really grabbed me. I'm seriously thinking about going to see it. I'm thinking about some of the older nissans too. My budget is like 750€, which is why I don't know if I want that 1300. The jazz would love to have a d14 dropped into it.<3 But alas, I want to keep this car to run it, not to pour gobs of money into it.
