well i'm looking at it from a different standpoint.....i'm looking for cheap because it is in fact a "disposable" car. My budget is 3-4K tops. Doesn't bother me if its a salvage titled car......i have a 93 volvo 940 turbo that was salvaged at some point and rides like brand new......I only need the car for a few years since i'm finishing my MBA right now and i'll upgrade in a few years and drive this one into the ground.
