I typically buy cars like you, needing a bit of work, but we are in the minority. The red viper had some issues when I bought it and so did both of my trucks. The ford that I will probably trade in runs fine, just has some rust and is old (88). I bought it for $400a year ago as a work truck. Never stranded me. I don't think anyone will be upset seeing a pic of it on the internet as a clunker trade in

But then again there is probably some F150 forum where one guy is looking for a specail part on that year who could be upset....

It is going to be hard for me to give up my insight (58mpg) when and if I trade in my clunker. Don't need a new car but the CARS program is a pretty good deal. I definitly don't need 2 daily drivers though.
