car shopping

So I'm going to the car auction today. Wish me luck, Ihave about 2 grand so I'm not expecting too much. I just hope I can find something that will last at least 6 months without any major repairs. I am expecting with that much money I will end up with a ford taurus. I had a 97 before and I like it but it was a pretty purple gray, theres are all white ones. I guess they are all county cars, I started about 4 of them and they all sounded good but you can't test drive them. Anyway keep your fingers crossed.
