Say a car that's at least 30 years old or over.

Older cars breakdown more often but are easier to repair yourself. The fix it manuals are very easy to follow, I would invest in one if you were buying a classic car. You can learn and save some money.

actually, a classic doesn't have to be 50 years old. that is an antique, i believe. anyhoo, i am a mechanical moron that has a classic '71 superbeetle. i can work on it, and keep it going pretty easily. just get a car that is on your mechanical level. the bug is literally technology from the 40's or so, and is very easy to understand, and a million different things you can do to it.
if you don't want to do your own work, get something fairly common that you can find a mechanic for

A "Classic" car is one that's at least fifty years old. And, no, you don't have to be "Mr. Goodwrench" to own one, although some mechanical knowledge is helpful, obviously.
Since the maintenance on non-computer-controlled cars is much easier, there are distinct advantages to owning a pre-seventies automobile.

It helps but if you have some basic mechanical ability, you can maintain an older car yourself, especially if it's in good condition when you get it. Repair manuals help and if your older car has some collector interest, there's bound to be a club or two around offering all sorts of support.

No not if he has a lot of money.

Classics suck.
