Resistance was futile. I bought the Metro last night. I'd post more pics but its raining today and it was dark when I got home last night.
It definitely needs some work here and there, but nothing major. I could drive it as is until it starts snowing (needs 2 tires badly). I'll be making a build thread soon enough.
Initial impressions are, it really isn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. Power is quite adequate. Its not quite the tin can I thought it would be either. It has zero options and/or power features. No power steering, no power locks, no A/C, no trip odometer, no interior adjustable rear view mirrors. Its about as basic as it gets!
I asked the previous owner what he was getting for mileage. He said he hadn't kept track in a while, but he thought it was about 35 mpg. Yikes, thats low. He admitted to not really taking it easy with the car though. I'm expecting 60+ mpg in summer.
