Although I share your idea on buying a "junker" and fixing it up, I cannot stress the fact that you should get a car with a warranty!! I went to school and majored in auto/diesel tech(U.T.I.). The last thing I wanted to do when I got home was touch another vehicle! I love working on cars, high performance that is. Day to day maintenence on a car drives me crazy! So changing a serpentine belt on my own vehicle blows, or doing an oil change. That and you really need to think about reliability, if this is going to be yours and your sisters daily driver you need it to work every day. Missing school or work reflects on you, and I'm positive your sister doesn't want to miss work because your project doesn't feel like starting that day! Then again this is only my opinion.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PAIN; THE INK AND THE JEWELRY ARE JUST SOUVENIERS
