Is this a good buy?

Yeah the only thing is that the engine is most probably bad and yes that is rust... IDK what to do haha. I mean $500 is nothing for a car. She said its rusty but had tons of work done with receipts and such. Im gonna look at it friday. The interior is a little beat up to i would guess. we can only hope

Bad motor and rust isn't a good combination. If you wanted to fix it as a daily driver until it dies then it might be worth owning.
