Question Should i or should i not???

Should i buy my aunties Tord Torino (351) or shouldnt I?
I was thinking of buying it as an investment but i dont know if i should. It is almost emaculate except for a dent on the left hand rear and a bit of rust in the back window.
I have the cash but i dont know if i can afford to drive it. It is a automatic as well.

ps(for those not familiar with torinos, the torino was the orange car used in the starsky and hutch movie).

Get it. It's a good car. And since it's American, you won't exactly have 50 thousand of them on the road.
It's a grand piece of machinery. If the price is right, grab it. Definitely.

A bit of rust isn't an issue. As long as it is just a bit, and not a heap of it.

Good luck

Just tell her its too heavy to be fast lol, It will be thirsty though so you will have to keep the right foot under control as hard as it may be.
