[Shotimes] (semi OT) $2K car for teen sons

[Ron Porter]

A used Vespa and a rain suit....
 
Frankly, you have one of the safest cars for a teenage driver on the market. Sure, they think it looks like Grandpa's car and would rather not be seen driving it, but they can get what they want when they can buy & insure their own.
 
Check around on the Net, there are forums & clubs for these cars, with a bunch of parts available.
 
Finding a car as good as what you have for $2K is gonna be near impossible. Might as well buy a $1K car, and use the other $1K for the repairs that it will need. A $2K car will probably need $1K to get it right....assuming major systems (like the tranny and a/c) are OK.

My 16 and 17-year-old sons are saying that our 94 Crown Vic is creaky and 
floaty and its corners very far away from the driver. Okay, I can accept 
that. (I'm thinking, but it is a V8 with RWD, H-pipe, ... I'm not 
committed to selling it, but I gotta give my kids a chance to think for 
themselves.) Looks like selling the CV would yield (after taxes, fees, 
etc.) $2K toward a smaller, more agile car.

So, budget is $2K Suggestions?
