Beater advice
So I'm looking for a winter beater.
There is a 92 Civic hatch for sale near my home. Original body and paint, so it's rusted around the rear wheels, 214000ks, runs and drives good, clean interior. It is at a small garage and the owner of the shop said it was a customers that left the car there for him to sell. $400 obo and apparently all it needs is a muffler and 2 tires to safety. Recnt t-belt and tune-up too. showed me the receipt.
I don't mind spending a few hundred to make it mechanically sound and road worthy, but how cheap/expensive would the rust be to fix? Will it safety with the rusted out fenders?
Seems kinda cheap, so it might be junk. But then again 400 isnt too much to lose if its crap.
Thoughts, advice?

Thats the answer I was looking for. Exactly why though? I was told that as long as the holes do not go through to the passenger compartment, it will pass. Is it worht getting for 400 if I can get the rust fixed for a few hundred? T-R what would you charge for such a job?

very true. also if you jump on it before the price goes up, then get quotes for the body work, if it seems to much you could likely part it out and make more then $400 from it even if you sold parts cheaper and made the buyer pull the parts - rather then losing $400 bucks
