Reminds me of the time my dad wanted to get me a cheap starter car, so we went to this used car lot where the salesman had us follow him to a "Storage Site" that was clearly an abandoned warehouse to show me a rather pristine 1983 Toyota Corolla that he "needed to move quick" so he offered to repaint it as an incentive if we bought it then and therer
My dad got him to agree to $500 and that car was mine by the end of the day
Nope, I was 18 and my dad was not a man to look a gift horse in the mouth
That being said, once I had learned to drive (took me s few months), he ended up selling it for $3000 to one of his friends and used that money to get me a moped
That came from a more reputable dealer, who nonetheless looked more like a mafioso than the guy who sold us the car

If you take good enough care of it, that could be the last car you'd ever own.
If Johnny No-Nose took good enough care of the brake lines, that could also be the last car you'd ever own.
Alas, my dad sold it to a friend so I could afford a moped
That friend is still with us, as far as I know

did it run good or did the frame turn into iron dust as soon as it left the lot?
It lasted me long enough to learn how to drive and pass my driving exam
For the six months I owned it, it ran pretty damn good
