I am 17 years old just bought the car a month ago. From a guy who stored it in a garage all of its life. Body WAS mint condition. I bought it for $1400CAN. 1st week I got it a crashed it. I was SPEEDING 80km/h in a 60zone lost control hit the curb at 80 hit a tree the ran over a Sign. Damage was passenger side fender, and a whole new front and. Got all the parts for $110 at a car salvage place. It still runs like new. I had to replace three tires which costed $102. I got to tickets one was driving in center lane the cop was nice enough to give it to me, that was $69 and the other was miss use of licence plate (parents licens plate was on my vehicle) that was $115.
The car is comfortable the seats in the back are a portable bed. Lots of room. Can beat any othe V8 on the road and any civic or ricer.
I owe my parents $1000 from the accident.
Before I only owed them $650.
