Rex,
For $1000 you will be able to find a daily runner that needs a lot of
work. It will run, but expect to constantly be keeping up on major
system failures, sort of like any other $1000 car of this age range.
As for safety, I don't see that the rubber bumpers will help much.
These are tiny cars. If you get hit hard by anything bigger than
Honda Civic, you are toast. OTOH, the rubber bumper probably prevent
a lot of auto body damage in low speed incidents.
