this is a cheap run around town type of car. it is very good on gas. motor and transmission are fine. motor has slight tick in lifters when it is cold, but it runs fine and does not leak or smoke. car does not run hot. air and heat even works. for a car in this price range that's hard to find. only bad thing is the two front fenders had slight dents , we put two fenders on and had them painted . but the paint doesn't match real well because its hard to match up older paint. other than that it's in fairly good shape and runs fine
