Hey guys, Am 16yrs old and i'm looking for a 1st car. There is a guy selling a 90' Corrado G60 with 143k miles for $1600 down the street. My parent don't believe that corrado is a reliable enough car they think i should go for a honda ie. we have a 92 civic with 250K. What should i look out for when i test drive it and how can i sell the folks on it? Thanks
