While I don't have a vehicle to help you out with, I just want to say that I admire your willingness to help a good young man. Hopefully this will be fruitful, and teach a young man to "pay it forward" when he has the opportunity.

Good for you for helping him out.
Brotherhood at work!

By the way, what trade?

Commercial flooring contractor local 1185 , 792 , 634 , in wi , kids got a future just got to show him I care and want him to succeed , this is a great oppertunity for him n I to hopefully start great relationship , training . For the both of us ! As I'll invest a lot if he can continue on the course he's traveling on ? I'm happy to see young upcoming talent , that know it's not an easy road ! But at the end will provide a great living for him n his someday family ! Let's hope they are hard to find Theese days !

Look for something like this:

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cto/4568577790.html


They run forever, might need a new transmission around 175,000 - 200,000 miles or so. Otherwise, the car should be good for 300,000 miles.
Regal, Grand Prix, Impala, etc. etc.; anything with the 3800 / 3.8L GM motor & Borg Warner transmission. The parts are cheap, and they are easy to work on.
(The supercharged versions are decent too, but the N/A models are more reliable.)

They will get up to 30mpg on the highway AND it's a substantial car wrapped around you.
