Backstory
Kasperi, his wife Suski and their 2 year old son lives inside a single story house, the house also has an in door garage. Inside that garage is Kasperi’s 1974 Satsuma AMP, It was formerly owned by Kasperi’s dad till he gave It to his son (Kasperi) to assemble It back together; the car lived a long life and It seemed that final moment had came. When Kasperi was ready to go get groceries that day, he turned the key in ignition and the car seemed to be doing fine for now, but when on his way back he heard the knocking outside, It was so violent that It locked up the transmission which then made the car looses control, Kasperi foot down on the clutch and another foot on the brake, he stopped the car next to the road. The sun is about set down, If he doesn’t do something he would be frozen to death. So he went and stand in the middle of the road, waving both of his hand like a lunatic. many cars ignored him. many cars almost crash because of him. Then the bus approaches, Kasperi tried his best to block the path for the bus.The bus came to a stop. Bus driver angrily asked why is there a drunkard in the middle of the road waving their sausage arms. Kasperi told what happened and the driver willingly let him inside the bus, the bus was no where near the bus stop but this time bus driver stops because of Kasperi’s action. he left the car on the side of the road and brought his groceries with him inside the bus. Kasperi arrived at home around 9PM. he was late but at least he made It out alive. His wife and son had already went to bed. He put in his groceries then head to bed. It was clear to him that his car won’t make It this time so, next morning he went and look at his balance; He has around 100,000 Markka which would be enough to purchase a car. A cheap one. He decided that he would take this chance to go and look for his new car.
Kasperi perfers a small 5-doors hatchback, doesn't have to be anything fancy but he also doesn't want something that is too basic either.
He just want something that can replace his old rusting broken car but doesn't explode his wallet.
