some of you know i've been searching for a more efficient daily driver and have helped me w/ good info on corollas/prizms which are more in my price range than civics. well, thank you, but it's time for more help.
i'm going to look @ a 2000 Chevy Prizm on sunday. it has a 5 speed,a/c,anti-lock brakes, and 135k miles for $3300. it has been VERY difficult to find a civic or corolla in my area w/ anti-lock brakes and a 5 speed tranny especially in my price range.
first of all, what do you think? and, what do i need to look for as far as issues SPECIFIC to this vehicle. meaning, i know how to check out the basics(leaks, smoking exhaust, cv joints, etc), but what needs extra attention?
i have checked reviews on the car, but sometimes the "experts" don't see the everyday grind of cars and what we put them thru. looking for a hands on perspective.
found this car by accident. totally forget that GM dropped the Geo name ~'98(i think). and i didn't think a 2000 model would be cheap enough. if this car ends up mine, it would be appropriate--chevy background, hence bowtieguy.
BTW the owner says he gets ~40mpg, so i'm hoping to hypermile 45+
much thanks!
