oohh, solid shout
i am looking at a 1992 mitsubishi galant that's got like 143k miles on it, being sold for like $3,000
it's a manual, thinking it could be a good first car, enough hands-on to be experienced etc
It could totally work.
Admittedly, I’ve bought totaled “salvage titles” vehicles from my uncle in the past & never had any issues. So if you have a good mechanic they are priceless.
Another tip: it’s a bit morbid but it’s true that many older people have nicer cars & sometimes they are rarely driven. So upon death there are people who make their living purchasing those cars & “flipping” them.
Kind of sad how predatory some people are. Death and divorce & most people aren’t thinking straight. Not a fan of that.
