Is this a good deal geo metro

1996 Geo Metro

Looked on KBB and it said good condition was $950 - $1000. Is this a food find? I have been looking to get in to a car that gets better then my 38mpg Hyundai Elantra. And wanted a car that can get 50+ mph.

I think it has the wrong bumpers for a 3cyl. Always check the area around the control arm to body mounts too. If it is a 3 cyl and solid then you can do a lot worse.
