The little bit on the body doesn't scare me. I'm currently replacing all the body and floor panels from the firewall back on my 73 Cuda, but I don't want to deal with a rusty frame again. Suspension refresh, brakes, etc are all doable and fun with the kid. I had already bought a 2006 Sebring for him but it is pretty basic and he's not jazzed, but it was a good deal and I figured in this used car crunch I could flip it if need be.
I think if this is going to happen it would have to be under 2500.
