Just make sure to run the numbers. If you sell the the Monte Carlo for $2k (a total guess), and buy the Metro for $1000 you have $1000 to fix up the Metro. You could darn near restore the whole car for that price, haha. After that, you've halved your price of gas due to doublling your mileage. If you don't drive much then it isn't as big of a deal. But, if you're packing the miles on you could easily find yourself way ahead in a very short time. Sounds like it might be worth it to me.
