I bought the car about a month ago from my neighbor. He sold it for 900 bucks and everything seemed well until a few weeks ago. I brought the car in for an oil change. When he was done he told me that the sub-frame on the passenger side was rotted out and was hanging on by a thread. He told me it was unsafe to drive and said that if I continue driving it, the suspension could collapse. The repair would be about 1200 dollars. That's 300 dollars more then what I paid for my car, so I said I'll save up until I can afford to get it fixed. So now the car is in my driveway with a cover on it and the battery disconnected. I have to walk all the way to work cuz I have no transportation. In the meantime I'll save up and pay the repair out of pocket.
