Hey Fred. I hear you. I am one of those people who buys junkers, finding people getting rid of older cars. Then drives them into their graves. I purchased the car for only $500 and have driven it well over 25,000 km's since i purchased it. The chassi is not roted out at all, there is a bit of rust on the doors and fenders, not really holes besides for on the passenger side fender (easy to fix) If i was willing to put $3-4000 into the car, i'm sure it would keep running for many many many years, but as it is, i can get another for 3-500. (the cost of the clutch it so desperatly needs) If anybody in the ottawa area would like to return her to her previous glory, $300 and she is yours!
