Hello everyone! I'm wondering, should I buy a 94 S-10, or an 85 Olds Cutlass Supreme as a secondary car. Both are about $1200, but the S-10 is in town, but I wouldn't mind driving an hour to get the Cutlass. I'm aware that a lot of the rubber parts on both, such as vacuum lines and weather seals may have cracked, but I'll put the money into either of them. Both of them also look like they've been sitting for a long while, and that may cause some rust problems. But I could probably bring either of them into my welding class and get them fixed. I don't know the mileage on either of them, but they're (hopefully) low. But as some general questions, which one is a better highway beater, because ND has more miles of highway than things to do. I don't really care too much about cargo and people capacity, I'm only driving one other person at most. I already have a pretty good idea of what work I'll have to put into them. So I may as well try to make a deal with the owners.

Either way, thanks for replying!

If so it's a no brainer for where you live.

Cutlass is a toy

If you do get the Cutlass, put it for sale or part it out on here after it gets wrecked. Every teen crashes their first car, especially in rural areas. Just don't crush or scrap it!!!
