lil old nissan
I love this:
Stick it. Buy a manual transmission vehicle; it will last longer.
Keep it to yourself. Never let anyone else drive your car.
Keep it simple. "Always purchase the most basic version of the car model. You will stay out of the dealership service department and save tons of money and frustrations. Power windows or seats and digital gauges always break," says Delegan. Those extras don't add much if at all to the resale value after a few years, but they can add to the headaches, he says.
COUGH COUGH GUYS!!! BASE-model (pre-XL!) speaking here (esp. #1 and #3

I wouldn't even worry about painting it. That's money you can put in the tank.
I've got a big dent in the side of my beater where my ex backed into me one night 2 years ago. It would cost more to fix it than the car is worth.

yea but I can do all the work myself and have a freind of mine shoot it in his booth so all I would be out is material and maybe not even that if he has some leftover paint from another job that I like

I hope mine lasts that long if not longer!!!!!
