Hey guys, saw this ad for a 1990 Geo Prizm in seemingly decent shape. I only have about 1.3k to my name and looking to make a tactical purchase. Really I was looking for a 400 dollar shitbox to get around in but I saw this and I'm wondering if I should splurge a little extra for it?

https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/d/geo-prizm-aka-toyota-corolla/6193618009.html

Seems like I can trust the owner, I'd try to haggle it down to maybe 800 or so.

other options are this wagon, not much detail:

https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/d/volvo-turbo-wagon/6189109858.html

this tercel, seems like its in good shape:

https://killeen.craigslist.org/cto/d/toyota-tercel/6204941822.html

I have other cars listed at 1.5k that I'd want to try haggling down. If you guys care I'll post the links.

Most notable mention at 1.5k is this Cavalier right here:

Wish we had Prisms over here in the midwest with that little of rust. Shit, go for it. Be sure to check the fluids for contaminants and make sure the transmission shifts.

I am tempted to do it.. Just wanted a lil feedback to make sure I don't make a shit decision. It's my first car.

Unlike your rusty shitbox, most modern rental cars have the ability to take a curb.

Yeah, but the curb rash was pretty obvious. Luckily, I don't have to pay for it.

Preludes were meant to be Automatic anon, you fucked up. It's a high-tech machine, you need a state-of-the-art gearbox to go with it.

Hey guys I need quick help, I have never driven a manual and I'm stuck on a hill. Everytime I'm trying to hit first great the engine stalls. I keep rolling back and there are cars parked behind me. I only have 2 shots left. Help me please, I'm not getting any responses on the Nissan gtr forums.

Pic unrelated, don't have anything on my phone

It's not bad if you got a lot of weight in the trunk and some sort of a locking diff. You'll be fucked if you go into a ditch tho or encounter a steep icy hill start.
>>
With decent tires, and half a brain to not mash the throttle, you'll be okay.

I made it up 30 degree hills with bald tires in my miats, so it's just a matter of perseverance.

I paid $3200 for this, 05 G35 w/ sports/tire package w/ vlsd. Has 140k miles and has new radiator, gaskets, new bushings, oil changed, fluids done and all that good shit by the previous owner prior to selling (had receipts).

No oil leaks and no smoke, only issue is a wanky gas reading and shitty paint. There is already an intake installed and I am going to get the plenum spacer done this week (the box said 13 hp tho). Will do HFC and AF tune when all is set and done

How'd I do?

Tint was done recently, and in Florida tint is necessary especially on a black car. Whats wrong with tint again?
