Default Need advise

Well i have the 02 TA. bout to write a check and pay it off.
i have 2 options, keep driving it as a DD, or buy a used DD

Now i already have the DD picked out. its a 90-92?? cutlas cialas quad 4
My old boss at my old dealership just passed, and his wife called me asking if i wanted it. I figured id get a good deal for KBB is only at 1k excellent condition, and im sure she just wants it gone.

Now im only 21(as of march 28th) and live in a pretty nice apt complex. My parents think its a stupid idea to get a DD. I just think it will save me money cuz iput 300 miles on my car per week. Im thinking big picture here, like saving money on putting dam tires on it every 12k miles (nitto drag radials) and oil changes and just the simple petty ****.

im sure insurance would be low as well as id only maintain liability on it..

Suggestions?

oh i also plan on buying a Silverado SS later this year.. so id have 3 vehicles

A beater is a wonderful thing. Buy it. You never know when you'll wish you had. You can always sell it when you are ready to buy the truck.
