M. is buying a car
For $300. He's hoping it will replace the 1992 Subaru Loyale he inherited from me. That car is on it's second engine and has 306,000 miles on it. He's buying a 1993 Subaru Legacy wagon. A family car. ;) It has 148,000 miles and 4-wheel drive. There is really nothing wrong with it other than the high mileage and some body damage, which he was able to minimize in one afternoon. Oh, and it has a Ford-type paint job on the hood, not pretty. We weren't really shopping for a car, but a friend was selling; and $300 for a car that runs is a steal. It is definitely a step up from what he has. He basically uses his car as a truck, hauling all sorts of crap, so there's no use in owning anything nice.
