Yeah. I've never paid more than $1000 for a car. The sedan cost me a cool grand, the wagon $250. The Audi (long since gone) was a $280 mistake. Even I can afford to blow $300 once on a stupid impulse buy.

The trick is to set your maximum price at something you can afford to loose, unless you've got some sort of insurance (like a smog test, a first hand inspection, etc). The PO of the wagon couldn't be bothered to smog it, so I figured I could part out the wagon (since it's intercooled and has decent body panels) for more than $250 if it turned out to be a complete junker.
