Looking to buy one for a new driver.

Frankly sixteen years is to old. Parts will not be available to fix the car and r-12 A/C issues Many parts for that car are just gone. Safety?cars now use air bags which really help in collisions. 16 year old Tercel had only seat belts. Very small car up aginst a Chevy Silverado in a wreck. First car for a kid should be something you would also like to drive that way the kid takes care of it. Even better get that child a job and let him or her buy what they want

there a good little car,,and reliable to if taken care of,,this is an older one ,,and if it is in good shape it should be OK,,as for parts they may be a little hard to find,,because of the age,,what i mean is minor body parts,,and so on,,but mechanical parts are easy to get,,and it Will be a good first car,,cheap on gas too,,i know this is a concern these days,,you should be fine with it,,good luck,,i hope it turns out to be a good one.
