Looking at this car strictly from a reliability point of view meaning getting in the car, starting it, driving it somewhere and driving it back, it will very likely be more reliable than most $1950 cars.
However if reliablity means to you that all systems like A/C, no oil leaks, etc. be functioning flawlessly at all times then this car most likely will be a let down for you. If you can say that you are going to buy the car for $1950 and drive it for 2-3 years only doing the basic maintenence like oil change, tires, belts and hoses etc. and not worry about the little things then this car may be good to own. It will certainly be safer, sportier, and fancier than almost any other <$2000 car. Good Luck
