#24 of 25 Should I buy? by stacecase Sep 25, 2008 (8:23 pm)
I'm thinking about buying a 2000 Metro with about 140,000 miles. Asking price about 1,800. Is this a good car? What MPG can I expect? Is that too high of mileage? Is the price fair? Even if cheaoer, would you buy? Should I?
#25 of 25 Goes to Zero ! ? by suz13 Nov 25, 2008 (12:09 am)
Replying to: ahoora (May 03, 2007 9:34 pm) I just hit 130 thousand miles on my '97 geo metro. Granted it appears that the prior owner put a "new" used engine in it so maybe the odometer was turned back or maybe not, but the fact remains my odometer has not turned back to zero. I think these cars are worth they're weight in gold . . if you dont care what people think, and you commute, and you dont mind the extra care you have to take like topping off the fluids often. I damaged my engine after 3 yrs of use. I let the oil go to NOTHING twice ! Shame on me ! Against the warnings and ridicule of my gas guzzling wealthier relatives I am contemplating putting my own "new" used engine into my '97 Geo Metro. I have put a new fuel pump, muffler, catalytic converter, alternator, 4 all weather tires, 2 snow tires, and a battery into it but STILL my math shows me that I'm coming out ahead except in the vanity and impressing dept. My relatives are pressuring me to buy a new used car for 2 thousand. I say for that price I can put in a "new" used engine (that has 50th miles on it) and get another 3 yrs out of my Geo. Afterall it is the "devil I know" rather than the devil I don't know. I actually consider it an ECO Classic and worth preserving into many decades. It gets 40mpg and can seat 4 people . . . UNLIKE the new SMART CAR which gets 41mpg and seats only 2 people.
