Sounds like an excellent deal. A couple of my friends had them and loved them. They were both on the short side. I could never get comfortable in one at six feet tall. The seat cushions were just too short for thigh support. If you aren’t tall or it doesn’t bother you, then it’s not a problem. Don’t expect to carry anything but stuff in the back seat. Just fold it and pretend you only have two seats. A 45 minute commute might be a little fatiguing, but not if you’re on secondary roads and there isn’t much truck traffic. It sounds like you’ve covered all the basics (except maybe the timing belt), and at that price and modest mileage this looks like a good deal. There aren’t many halfway decent cars under a thousand, and almost none with such low mileage. Have fun.
