Even if they put 2-3K into "restoring" it, I assume they would have no car payment, and insurance and license fees would be negligible. Also fuel cost would be low, unlike many older automobiles. Sounds like they will have a cheap car that they like. That is more than a lot of people can say that pay hundreds of dollars every month for a me too plastic appliance, I mean automobile.

I recall this car as being relatively simple to fix. You do not need to go to a car dealer for periodic maintenance as well, as with any other car out of warranty. They built this model in Wilmington De. These little cars were well built. The most basic was a Scooter. I rode in one some distance once to pick up a used 1969 Camaro SS. I guess they thought I was on a tight budget and I got a great deal on my Camaro!
