Would being forced to choose between a car that doesn't have government permission to drive and paying way more than market value for something that does from a BHPH lot make the situation of the person you're replying to better? Also what he described is pretty out there even by poor person standards. What you usually see is people failing inspection for rust holes in non-structural areas, cracked light lenses, leaky exhausts and non-functional evaporation emissions systems. In my experience: Lightbulbs are cheap and get fixed. Driving with bald tires sucks and people do get them replaced when they are showing cords. Brakes are important cheap enough and get fixed (helps that pretty much any shade tree mechanic will do them for parts plus a few bucks). People need to get to work. They don't try to put stuff off until payday because they like driving a car that might fail on them.
