    I think the problem is more serious than the battery. If it was just a weak battery but the rest of the charging system is OK, the car should stay running once it's been jump-started. The fact that it dies again as soon as the good battery is disconnected suggests other problems.



    Overall, a decent but sad-looking little car, but you can't beat the $650 price.

    It certainly has potential, at that price. The electrical problem is a minor detail
