Faimly friend is willing to give me a 97' Toyota Corrolla but the clutch is shot and the seatbealt is broken. The damage seen to the front has since been repaired but not the clutch or seatbelt. I was saving to buy a car but this could be cheaper, although I have never driven a stick shift. I have experince riding quads and motorbikes so manual transmissions are not new to me. It has 150,000 miles and runs smoothly, no leaks that I could find. Is this car worth fixing?

OP, this is a no-brainer

The frustration of spending money on parts and then doing your own repairs might not be worth it desu

Take it in and get the clutch worked on if you don't want to work on it. Would make a great shitbox.

>seat belt
Piss easy
>clutch
If you can't do it yourself it can't be more than $500 at a shop in the most extreme case.
This is a fucking no-brainer.

>Shot Clutch
$3-400 labor at a shop. Have them do the clutch master and slave too, the slave cylinder is located in the bellhousing on those cars. If you can ride a motorcycle you can drive a manual car, you just can't ride the clutch as much as you can a wet clutch bike.
>Seatbelt
Do this yourself. Should take no more than a hour.
