I saw some Miatas on Ebay for 600 dollars. But It seems too good to be true. Basically I want a year lease for a car that is not a beater, like 100 a month for a lease. For like a Lotus Elise or Opel Speedster.
My parents said I have a car I can use. Except the brakes are messed up because the car has been sitting in the garage for a few years. And the throttle always make the car go 30 mph when the gas pedal is not pressed. I don't know how much it would cost to fix.
I don't know where you live, but if it is either the US or Canada, you can forge both an Elise or a Speedster for the kind of money you have!
If the brakes of the car that was put away wee good when it was put away, you might just need to exchange the brake fluid and bleed the brakes. And push the pedal down a few times to break the pads loose.
You seem to have a sticking throttle cable or a sticking gas pedal. All that can be fixed easily with a can of WD40.
You either can find some UTube videos on how o do that, or ask a friend who works on cars to do it for you. All that should not cost anymore than about 30 to 40 Dollars and a case of beer!
If you would live close enough to me, I would help you for free.
If the car needs new brakes it should not cost more than $500 (and I bet they would even look at the throttle cable for you). But that could be done by a friend, too, for way less money. My son charges $80 per wheel plus material! And that is in a high price area of the US!
