USAA has car insurance also so he could call the insurance company and get some advice on the cost of insurance. I got a car in Kentucky in 1069 when I was in the service and the insurance for 6 months was enough to buy a car. Consumer reports has lots of information on maintenance costs of different brands.
My advice was to get him a 65 mustang but if you want it drivable it will cost you more than the $1500 I paid in 1976.
My daughter who was in the marines 2005-2009 finally listened to me and got USAA. Now she wonders why she didn’t for all of those years I was harping on her.
What model cars were available in 1069?
Right after the invasion huh...did ya get a good deal?
