I have a '96 sunfire sedan with 217,000 km on it. The c-v joints click, the suspension should be replaced, and I occasionally need to start in 2nd gear. It wouldn't start half a dozen times this winter and it doesn't get that cold here. It is dying. My parents and I bought it together 10 years ago and it has lasted me longer than expected. I've been out of my own for 8 years now and need a reliable car for driving to work, but I'm not wealthy.
The problem is, even at dealers with used cars (certified or not), the financing rates are always higher on the used car. Yes, lots of new cars have high rates too, but I'm not looking at those cars for that specific reason.
Regarding the electric metro: I'm not a hippy and I'm happy with mid-30s mpg. A metro wasn't a safe car at highway speeds with a conventional engine. Let me know when you drive a homemade electric car as your daily driver.
