What does $ 2800 get you for a replacement car... not much, and you go in blind as far as service history...
And how much is an average payment on a new car... even a very low $ 250 a month is still $ 3000 a year...
If I liked the car, and had owned and maintained it for many years, I would be tempted to fix it...
