I am no means a pro welder. That said, I will say this much. Buy a decent one. Back before I went to auto tech school, I started in the welding program. I decided it wasnt for me, but I did learn how to use the stick, mig and tig systems. For most auto repair a mig is best. Afordible, easy to use and faster. Here is the catch, a cheap 120v mig is realy only meant for body repair. If you need to use it for cage, bumper or structual welding it may not be enough. I burned out my first cheap 120vmig, and tried to use one from harbor freight. It never even worked! Stick with a name brand, miller,lincon. I get mine from snap-on(miller makes them). Had it 5-6years and still works great. I plan on picking up a larger 220v unit later this year. Mostly since I am redoing the frame/cage on my rig.
