Yeah, I hate to say it, but if you absolutely have to get from coast to
coast on only $1500 worth of car, you're better off buying an older
American van or full-size sedan.  They tolerate a lot of abuse and parts
are cheap if something does break.  Plus the guy at the service station in
Nowhere, South Dakota will be able to fix it.
