I have owned probably 15 metros in my day, and about half of them like to snap the belt. By the way, Going to go buy Grandma's 92 metro 4 door automatic(booooo) with only 48,600 on it today!

Do you think 3000 is too much to pay for that car in mint condition? Squeaking on the cheap belts. 3k for a Metro is not what I would pay because I could refurbish one completely for less than that and know what I have. A well taken care of one in mint condition with low mileage I could easily see bring that price. It's all realtive to what you are will to pay for any car in any given condition.
