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.

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/4565917733.html
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.
