I once purchased a car for $22.00 only because its was all the cash I had on me at the time, the seller said, when asked for his price for a car not running was what ever you have in your wallet? I put a new battery filled the tires with air , filled the tank and drove it for a year then decided to sell it to a student when asked what I wanted I said, what ever you have in your wallet? He had $66.00.

Every time he filled up, he also doubled the value of the car

I will buy it if I can put a dollar down and pay a dollar a week. I would also expect a 5 year warranty, bumper to bumper. I’ll give it a good coat of wax and use it as my Uber vehicle.
