Hello I’m helping my Friend find a cheap used car and I came across this 1991 Geo Metro automatic with 100,000 miles for $4,000 I’m just wondering are these cars any good, thank you
Seems way overpriced. All rubber parts will be deteriorating. Parts are going to be tough for a minor import from over 30 years ago. Aside from gas mileage about the only advantage I can think of is they are simple vehicles and you could probably rebuild that little 3-cylinder engine and even the 3-speed automatic transmission on the kitchen table. (Oh, and with the automatic and 55 horsepower engine it will be a real slug, with gas mileage not even all that great - EPA estimates for the automatic are 10 mpg less than the stick shift.)
That raises a lot of red flags:
- 1991
- Geo
- Metro
- automatic
- 100,000 miles
- $4000!!
I suppose it has some collector value value as an oddity. But do not try to daily drive this car. (Now maybe the Geo Prizm, which was a rebadged Corolla, would be OK. But I think the Metro was a rebadged Daihatsu.)

That is too much asking price. For a car with that age, probably it's only worth couple hundreds of dollars regardless of mileage. Also parts for this thing are hard to get.
Geo Metro are they any good
it's a tiny economy class car that is now 32 years old
100,000 miles f
How do you know? It only had a 5 digit odometer. They weren't supposed to go very far.
for $4,000
No!
It cost $6,795 when it was brand new 32 years ago
Thank you for all the help I'll make sure my friend steers clear of this car
Well beggars can't be choosers you're not going to get much for a thousand bucks. They can be okay cars. Just realized they have three cylinder engines in parts are kind of hard to get for an United States
