Wait, you didn't buy this yet? Sorry, but don't. You can find a car for not much more money that isn't as far gone as this car is. As others have said, the biggest problem with a car with rust like this is everything else is closer to ending up like that floor. You'll be chasing it for years. No matter which car you buy in the $1000-$1800 price range, you'll have plenty of small things to learn with as you fix it up.Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?

Don't buy it, it's done. RIP.
It'll break your heart when you get under it and find all the other rusted out places.
Then it'll break your wallet trying to make it a safe ride.

$500 is kind of steep since it probably won't even bring $300 for scrap.. And there isn't even $500 worth of parts there to part it out. Also, does the jack crush the frame rail on the drivers side when it's jacked up?
