Cheap Used Car - Needs New Rear Shocks

[Thorin]

So this lady buys this Subaru Impreza 1.8 liter automatic for six hundred bucks.  Not a bad deal, cars that cheap will always have something that needs fixing.  This one?  Needs new rear shocks, they're pretty far gone.  Have a look what she can make it do:

I've done that with a Toyota Camry, but the fronts were gone.  Bounces the front end pretty good especially with the weight of the motor!

Make sure you call shot gun, because your head will hurt sitting in the back.

I kinda wanna go try it.

Also, once those shocks are replaced for about $500, she's got what looks to be a decent Impreza for $1,100.  Not a bad buy in the end.

Whenever you buy a cheap used car, always expect $1,000 to $2,000 in repairs to be required within a few months of the purchase.

Well and she might need to get the alignment fixed as well from all that bouncing...
