Well I bought this car recently and the seats were in very poor shape. I went and bought seat cover. Paint is fading bad. The power steering has a major leak.
I bought this car in poor shape for 600$. which wasn't bad it still ran fine. then bout week later alternator fell out the bottom of the car, clutch went out, and power steering was gone. But over all its always made me home.
I don't see how you could even think of buying any car for $600 and not expect any problems like the ones you are having. Go out and get yourself a 2001 prelude and add a cold air intake, Arospeed Carbon Fiber Muffler - 4" Straight Cut Tip, Greddy headers, and Wings West body kit avenger style, you'll completely change your mind about prelude's. The one thing that puzzles me about many people is that they always complain about the space in the back of the prelude. First off I'd like to say it's not supposed to be a Lincoln Navigator fit to hold 5000 people, and secondly if you think the cars small why would you buy it in the first place.
Peace out.
