Do more research before you buy anything. From the sound of it you're not very familiar with these cars, and maybe cars in general. If that is the case, you might think that any car is a 'money pit' when something goes wrong. Take the time to read up on anything you're interested in, you'll find that most if not all of your questions have been answered years ago. Good luck with whatever you choose.
