dont like it? dont buy it. you want to spend less than a grand on a car be my guest, see how far it gets you. However if you want a decent commuter car that starts every time, doesnt tic, doesnt smoke and gets better fuel milage than a smart car or even a prius. This is it. ---

$2,000 is a LITTLE overpriced from what i’ve seen, by no more than a few hundred though. you should easily get over $1,000 for this. KBB is just a guide. ---
