Very little more expensive than a cheap Porsche. I would spend a little more up front and get a better lower mileage car. You are going to pay one way or the other.

Parts car. I have a history of trying to fix things Women, Cars, Airplanes etc and after 50+ years I'm starting to catch on. It's a lot cheaper in the long run to get a good one in the first place.
