Barry, in the USA there are far more cars than the number of people that want to buy one so there will be no problem in buying a car. You don't want to spend anywhere near $1000, thats too much for what you need. In California you can buy a good car for $250. Go to a newsagent and buy an ad-mag. a magazine where people sell things that they don't want. My friends bought a really nice car for $300 from a police pound, so try and locate one of those. Good luck, bradley
