My brother is learning how to do body work, and he’s looking for a car. He asked me what to get, and honestly I have no idea…I’ve never looked at cars that price. So I’m looking for ideas for something cool for the young bol. He’s 16, and needs something that drives in winter. He’s an idiot so if you suggest something RWD he will probably not see the age of 17. - His budget is under 2000 dollars - No grand ams, corsicas, cavaliers…you know, domestics. Sorry. - Needs to run well, however body can be in poor condition. - Something cheap and relatively easy to fix if it happens to break. - If fixing it up looks-wise will increase value greatly, that’d be a nice plus. So yeah, any ideas? I kinda want to suggest an older Subaru… ---

yeah honda hatches are almost guaranteed to have rear quarter rust 240sx are almost guaranteed to have hatch and rocker rust Relatively easy fixes and i dont know you would turn a profit after the labor is done…but you probably wouldnt lose out on the deal ---

try out [http://www.buffalocars.com/](http://www.buffalocars.com/), most of them are the same cars that are found in the buffalo news. If you want something cheap, rusty, decent on gas,reliable and not much loss if he wrecks it then get an older camry or corolla an EG would be nice though and maybe you could steal it from time to time ---
