The belt was replaced just 8 months ago, though
If it's the power steering, then we're forgeted. This is my household's only car and we can't afford a new one.
Alyx Vance:
You can replace the power steering pump fairly easy, if thats what it is.

Well, my dark red '98 Fort Escort station wagon hot rod is as good as dead.
Sent it to the shop to get the brakes looked at to find out that a badly needed oil change and fixing the brakes will cost $875, or $1,100 to replace the muffler too.
The guy advised me not to sink the money into it though, because everything on the underside is so rotted out that in a couple months I'll probably be putting my foot through the floor (guy says he can put his finger through it now).
He advised not driving it too much, and not at all on the highway.
So, how much can I reasonably expect to get for the thing form a junkyard?

Skateaton:
I start driving in 2 weeks (get my license and first car) I have been really attracted to nissan 240sxs, (especially silvia s13s and s14 koukis)

this is one i found but it's a project (engine swapped, turbo, lowered, etc) whats everyones opinion on buying other's projects? to be honest i don't like it at all, but this probably what i'd do to it if it were mine. Also, besides the usual, anything i should look for? Im about 100% sure it's been raced/drifted so i don't wanna forget with a piece of stuff that's been abused.
ALSO: my dad started his project car. 1987 porsche 911 targa top. will provide pictures soon.
