          i had a k car, bought it for 200$ sold it for 200$ after puttin 800$ into it. needed a radiator, fuel lines, brake lines, belts, water pump, Headgasket and cylinder head. for whatever reason, chrysler had a problem with the aluminum heads on the I4 where they would puke the gasket. my car be4 i had it(it had 145K on it) had 15 headgaskets and 7 new heads . i sold it needing a headgasket cuz i got tired of fixin it. also, they like to rust, alot!

              Not that close to winter yet, just jumping on the oppurtunity at a free winter car with super low KM's owned since new by my Grandmother and garage stored.

                For free... You cant go wrong. I you were in the market for one & needed help picking a model, I would suggest a 93-94 Cavalier. I had one for 2 years (Till an old lady totaled it) and it was AMAZING in the snow. Never had a problem!!
