I found a 98 Mazda 626 lx for sale for $1000.. The guy brought it to the mechanics b/c it did have some problems and he got back to me saying the manifold gasket was broken, the exhaust was falling off, the frame underneath the passenger seat was rotted, the check engine light was on, and there was something wrong with the tail light.. The mechanic said that it is $800 worth of work.. and the guy brought the price down to 500.. I only have $1300 and some in the bank.. and $125 over that.. I just need this car to get me to college and work (when I get a job which will be in the next month or so).. Would it be worth me buying? or should I go find another car?

My concern is getting it inspected, registered, and paying for insurance..
