Be careful as it probably sat so long for a reason. It may have mechanical issues from sitting so long.Get it looked at by a mechanic before you buy it. If they won't let you then DO NOT buy it.

Defenetly get a mechanic to look at it since you don't seem to have too much automotive knowledge, a car sitting for 12 years can accumulate many serious problems, even unused cars need maitenance! Also, take it for a test drive, make sure you enjoy the ride before purchasing it. And do a carfax report, make sure there's no foul play going on. As far as under 3,000, blue book in good condition for these is $1,700, I wouldnt pay much over 1,200 for it. You can find a better deal on a car under $3,000, you just may have to look for it. Bottom line, If you pay 3,000- your overpaying, and not using a vehicle for 15 years, can be just as bad, even worse, than driving it for 15 years. The best thing for you to do is drive it to a mechanic you trust, have them asses it, make sure you like it, then haggle that price down. (assuming everything checks out ok) Best of luck to you!

why in common words 3-4? older is more low priced. and that isn't any longer gonna improve in fee. hondas and toyotas are frequently the further intense priced automobiles. yet they very last a lengthy time period. older fashions will be a extra perfect purchase. going into debt for a automobile only rubs me the incorrect way. as for the salesperson, in case you comprehend the fee of the automobile, make an grant of $one hundred over that. even as he says, "how about $..., what are you able to do?", then you truly're making the decrease grant, and tell him that is the perfect you may do. even as he complains, you pick to be prepared to assert that bargaining develop into his theory, and that is your grant, and walk away. btw, my mechanic has an previous, yet probable nevertheless driveable automobile for $2000. way extra perfect deal. you may purchase 6 of 'em, and nevertheless be ahead.

Test drive it. Have it compression tested by a mechanic, and if all is well, buy it. I don't see what the problem is actually.
