Not much of budget, hopefully has backup money for repairs. I did get my Cherokee XJ for $1400 and put about $300 of parts to get it road ready. But I have mechanical skills to do my own work. Factor in getting raped by a mechanic if you have no skills
I wouldn't pay for a mechanic for a $1000 car. But I would give it a longer test drive than normal (maybe 20 mins). If it has a blown head gasket or CEL issues symptoms may not show up unless its taken on a longer ride.
