Letter About Buying A Used Car

I know you will object to this car, but I am going to buy it anyway. It is everything you warn not to get, so I can never say I was not warned. Still, I like it and I think it will work for me. It is a Nissan sportscar and it is costing me about $3,000. You may say this is a lot of money, and it is. However, it is also a fair price based on the others I have seen from the same time period--only a year or two later and the price would be five times that.

We have already established that I have to buy an older car, so that is no reason not to buy this one. In any case, there are still a lot of these cars on the road, so it is not as if I would have to rebuild a classic from the ground up and make parts myself because no store carries them. You may also remind me that sports cars are more dangerous and convertibles more dangerous still, but I already know that and will not be swayed by that sort of argument. I know nearly everyone thinks they will never get into an accident, but people still have accidents and need to be prepared for them. For some people, this means buying a car so heavy and so armored that they can withstand a direct attack, but I do not care to live that way. I believe the least safe part
