If you get the Caddy you'll be expected to bring the girls, and with all the room Dan will expect a selection from which to choose - but don't limit him to just one!!!

Personally, if I bought an older Stratus, I would make a look alike of one of these

I cannot stress to you enough to stay away from the Stratus/Cirrus/Breeze.
Entry cost may only be $600 but you'll be well past that every year to keep the electrical system and transmission worthwhile.
Just terrible cars.
Other than that, old Camaros can be fun.

87 Caddy will have too many electronic goodies, like heater controls, to be reliable.
It's about the right age to start having wiring failures.

I've never seen a guy advertise "temporarially painted" before.

you want advice on what to stay away from??
A FREAKIN CAMARO!!!!
if you buy that you are NOT allowed in my neighborhood.....seriously
its like a rule in Fishers or something
you deffently need to pimp the Caddy!!!
as far as problems I have no clue, but for 600ish I say drive it till it breaks then throw it away and buy another, dont bother putting money into them. Unless it has sentimental value like say a Buick would
I miss that car so much

While everyone seems to bad mouth these cars, I've had very good luck with the 1st generation Dodge Stratus/Chrysler Cirrus. My older son drove a '95 Cirrus for over 100K miles with very few issues. My younger son drove a '98 Stratus for 120K, then wrecked it. Absolutely no electrical or drive train issues - no leaks, no drips. We replaced it last year with another '98 with 70K miles and so far so good.

"You might be a redneck if the value of your car changes according to how much gas it has."

What exactly do you have to do when buying a used car?
How do I transfer the title officially?
When do I have to pay the tax for it?
How long do I have before I have to get insurance?
Do I keep the license plate the previous owner had? When do I get a new one?
Is there anything else I have to do with the seller or at the DMV?
Absolutely nothing useful on Google
I may be buying a car from Michigan
Thanks!

A bit of advice. I wouldn't buy a car from anyone unless they meet me at the county title dept. and sign the title over personally. If they just sign it and mail it to you or provide it with the car it doesn't mean they own the car! You pay tax on the purchase when you put the title in your own name which you have to do to get plates. Get insurance as soon as the title is in your name.Go back and read the first sentence again!My 2 cents.Aric

So title, tax, and license plates all at the same time, at the DMV? Can I get Indy plates in Michigan?

No, you can only get Indy plates in Indy. You will have to visit your local BMV in South Bend and pay the sales tax, apply for title transfer, and get your new plate. In Indiana they will not let you do the above steps without proof of vehicle insurance so I suggest you start looking for that first. I went to the BMV on Tuesday for plates for the wifes new ride and it wasn't bad at all.... In and out in 10 minutes!

In Ohio you have 72 hours to get insurance I think, after you buy the car

All I told you is for Ohio. Also, before you can get the title transfered you have to take the car ( out of state purchase) to a dealer for a VIN inspection, they have a form to fill out to verify the vin on the car matches the title you were given.
