there is some things on the car that look bad, and it needs a new battery. But so far from the answers I have received anyone knows you are getting a junk car that needs to be fixed.

depending on the car.
if it has been parked for any length of time:
-leaks from bad seals
-shorts/ blown fuses from deteriated wiring
-brakes from age
-filters needing replaced (oil, air, fuel, etc..)
-tune-up (plugs, wires, cap/rotor/coil pacs)
-tires from dry rot.
if it was a daily driver mostly just replacing parts like brakes, filters, alternators, pumps, etc... most people postpone minor/major repairs if they think they might sell the car at some point because they don't want to put money into a car they're getting rid of.
fix the little things like tune-up, filters, and brakes and just bare in mind that it was a $400 car. It won't last forever. I have bought alot of used cars for a couple hundred bucks, put a little money in them, took care of them (regular maintenance), and they lasted me a couple of years and I sold them to someone else. you don't always get that lucky buy i hope you did.

Well that will depend on what to expect. What year is it? How many miles does it have? What condition is it in? If you bought it from a good friend and they were helping you out then you will have fun. If you bought it from a stranger and all those questions that needed answered,are not good. Then I would not expect a hole lot from this vehicle.

To get you from point A to point B without caring about who thinks your car is ghetto! LOL! You should expect mechanical problems too. But hey, transportation is a great need these days!

I wouldn't really expect it to run..... if it did, probably just one outing.
