Car experts, help me out!

Well, I found this listing for a couple cars.

I am considering trading one of my nice guitars, or just buying it.

I know nothing about the renault cars. This would be my first vehicular transport, so I don't need anything fancy. Should I be wary? I would be willing to put some additional money into it if need be.

Also, Anyone know anything about acquiring a title for a car? What part of the car is actually issued the title? Could I swapthe bodies between the two cars?

Thanks in advance.

looks fun, you get 2 cars, aquire a title for the other car, rebuild the carb and put it back on and sell it for $600

I am by no means an expert but Renault (in America) was never known for reliability. If you have decent mechanical skills and don't need to use it a great deal, I'd say go for it because the price is good. Also, examine the underside closely for rust. If this car has been outside in Alaska for 20 years chances are good there is significant corrosion.

replacing a head gasket is probably the easiest thing to do but there are so many damn parts you have to remove in modern day cars. idk about those renaults, its worth takin a closer look at.

Well they are French for one thing. So dont expect them to work more than 4 days a week

Id say check it out, use judgment/common sense and never purchase/look in the dark.

Well, I decided against those renaults, because I think I want something a little less iffy at this point. Thus, I found this:

I think I am gonna make a trip into town tomorrow to go see them. Not only cheap, but it would be a sweet ride! Any opinions or comments?

gas $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Yeah, that's one of my thoughts, but how bad is the mileage anyways? I don't think I'll be making any long distance trips really. Should only cost me like 30 bucks a week or so, which isn't all that bad I don't think.
