    The main question, is hard or easy is it to get parts if something breaks?
    Second question is would you cry if it get totalled? Or would you just get another one? In your predicament you actually have a back up, so no worries for you.

    The biggest pro is cheap on gas, cheap insurance.

    if you really want to DD, i'd suggest some of these

    1. Start with a Good shape car, or build up a good shape car before you start driving it everyday
    2. You need to be able to work on it if something goes wrong. It won't be feasible to take it to the shop or call someone every time something goes wrong.
    3. If possible, pick something you are already familiar with
    4. If 3 isn't possible, join a forum and read up before you make a purchase
    5. If you are super tight on money, it might be a bad idea to purchase an older car. Things will need to be replaced as you drive the car more.

    I daily drove my crazy-modded starion for like 6 straight months till i lost my job, i had a backup car, and was ready at anytime to replace things as they went bad like a starter, alternator, fuel pump, etc...

    Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.

    i daily drive my celica and some concrete problems are when something goes wrong like an old brake line finally freezes its cost upwards $500 to fix in a day so i can have to drive to work. not to mention dumbasses opening doors on it at the store no mater how far you park form the door. my car was slammed into while parked in my work lot. it took 3 months to find all the replacement parts and trim pieces.
