Automatics suck but if the car runs, has new tires, and passes state inspection, I’d say it’s worth at least $1,000. It’s never going to be a fun car but I’d be happy with it for simple transportation. According to the Huffington post, the average car payment is nearly $500. If the car lasts two months it’s paid for itself.
