I have a 500 dollar budget! a little more maybe but not much more. Can this car be my daily driver? I'm pretty sure it has less than 100k miles on it, some rust on the right back side, the rust is pretty heavy, I have a good mechanic friend that would help with this, how would you tackle the rust problem. Anyways, I'm more concerned with how reliable it will be or can me with minimal investment. Give me as much info as you can on my situation! I will appreciate it very much.

Hi Gregory95, i would say replace/flush all of your fluids that way everything is lubed properly. Regarding your rust issue, depending on the amount and location of the rust you might be able to have a shop or yourself drill out the panel (if its a floorboard piece) and weld a new piece in.

Unless you have a budget to pay for repairs do not buy it!!

After 9 years of not moving..I am fixing my 190e evo2 and it's not easy at all. Long and painful.

I hope you don't have the self leving suspension on your car because that alone is a nightmare
