I would love a Hellcat. So much fun.
My Dart can hold me over nicely though. :D

If I get approval from my dad and a loan I should be able to get this - hopefully I can refurbish it and make a profit or keep it
antique registered vehicles have dirt cheap insurance so
Looks great, $3500 seemed a bit steep till I saw it runs and drives. Awesome.

Oops lol. Carry on.
I'm assuming they're collective problems, so one vehicle can have multiple problems and then then each individual problem is added to the total problems.
I wonder what they define as a problem exactly, like what about rattles and stuff?
What the forget? MINI has 185 problem vehicles per 100 vehicles? Does that mean 85% of the vehicles they create don't even leave the factory because they're already forgeted up?

Thing is loving sweet.
I've heard a lot of debate about modern day compacts still being huge. My Dart falls into the compacts category and its still a pretty large car. No shortage of interior room, enormous trunk and she isn't light either. If that car is that small next to a 500 I can only imagine how monstrous my car would look next to it lol.

If you scrap it you can probably get a couple hundred bucks for it. Otherwise just sell it like $150, someone will buy it eventually.
We actually had an older Neon that came in the shop the other day where the engine cradle actually rusted in half. The motor actually was hanging out the bottom of the car.
That would not be a good way to start your day.

Mileage can be just a number to some extent. You can find a 2008 or 2007 model year car with 200,000 miles and I'd buy it because with that many miles the car has obviously just been used for highway commuting. Highway driving is the best for a car because there's minimal wear and tear on everything. The motor is just sitting there humming quietly at generally the same RPM for an extended amount of time. The transmission isn't constantly shifting. The brakes aren't being used much if at all. If it's a 2003 with 100,000 miles I could more believe that the car has been used predominantly on city streets - more potholes, more turning, more braking, more accelerating, more shifting, more starting, more stopping.
It also depends on who owned it. If it was a woman (not to be loveist) then generally maintenance and repairs have been ignored if it doesn't affect the way it drives. If it was owned by a mechanic then buy the stuff out of that car. If it's been well taken care of, it doesn't matter so much how it's been driven and how you'll drive it. My 1998 Malibu has 176,000 miles on it and it's become a pizza delivery car and is soon to be a daily driver for 30 mile commute every weekday in addition to my delivery shifts. But I take such good care of that thing. New struts, new gaskets top to bottom, oil changes 3000 miles or less, flushes, new brakes. If you take care of your vehicle it'll last you.
But yeah, it can affect "every aspect of the car". If it has 200,000 miles then someone was sitting in that car using the windows, the radio, accelerating, braking, whatever for that entire 200,000 miles the car has been through.
Obviously it can also depends on the make and model of the car. Some cars just have stuffty engines. My friend's old Land Rover got a cracked head at 110,000 miles. Scrapped it. Those things are known for that.
However look at Hondas. Even if they're not taken the best care of, it would be loving weird to have one not hit 200,000 regardless of its past.

I hate deep water. It seriously terrifies me whether I can see the bottom or not.
Insects. Cant stand them. Any of them.
Also if Im on the second story of like a mall I cannot look up without getting this weird sense of fear. I believe its called vertigo. I don't understand why. Any balcony really.

I'd buy that for $2. I hate when people put like $1 in the add so it comes up in your searches almost regardless of price
Those are the worst kind of people.
