Enlisting DFWM to help me find my next car

[crapstang]

That seems like a lot of money for a car with an ugly hood, that needs holes filled in on the trunk, and a transmission that is on its way out. 6k maybe? Oh, and the good old "AC just needs to be charged" bullshit. If that's all it needed it would be working already.

I've always found stuff like that funny. One of my favorites is "It just needs a coil..."

Of course it just needs a coil. That dead hole couldn't possibly have occurred from the blown head gasket (true story).

Won't run. Just needs a tune up.

thoughts???? I am not sure about the flashers but looks like about 1500 at least in work on the other items listed as problems

$300-400 tops for me. BUT asking that much most of that should be fixed

[bird_dog0347]

The blinkers/flashers is very likely the orange wire behind the hazard switch that came loose, same thing happened on my 92.

It's overall a nice car as advertised, but I'd be very leary of it until I really took a long hard look at it. Especially after getting into the deal I'm in now with mine. At the time I thought I was taking this guy for a ride, turns out we both fucked each other and neither of us managed to get off. Either way, he got something that was depreciating and I got a car that's only appreciating.

Oh I agree. He is down to 6300. I tallied it up and figure it's closer to about $2k in fixes.

Stereo amp- varies
Trunklid- 3-400 easy painted and blended
trans-1500+ as i don't have the space to do the labor (one quote) but could find a cheap replacement if I had the space.
Needs a full catback... the tips are crazy big and one muffler is already shot
AC- easily a couple hundo to convert and replace all o rings
Headlights
etc etc etc

With all that though the rust free coupes are tough to find not beat to shit. Car is local and will get a look.

Dislike it. Not at all the level of clean that you want. Looks like a worn out car that got polished up. I hate that hood and the white gauges.

maybe

Are we somehow related? LOL I just sent that guy a PM about an hour ago.

I also HATE the hood and white face gauges but are easy fixes.

Thats how I felt but it's a clean coupe. He is down to 6300 though. No way in hell I could fix all that for 3-400...shit thats not even enough to buy a used and un-rebuilt t5 here. Fuck fixing the trunklid for 3-400 would be tough.

I'm still waiting on that calypso before I make any decisions.

That sounds confusing!

I did some research on the flasher already as well. Came up w/ that as a possibility.



Always love the honest feedback on here. Reef blue is a great color. To me it's worth about 5500ish after I spend the time and money to get it cleaned up and in working order.

Ran when parked ! 40 years ago!

Here is the next one I'm tracking down:

"... A/C just needs recharge..."

And it's 4-lug.

[akfodysvn]

I know the ac needs o rings and charge for sure. Previous owners ad from 2 years prior says he just charged it prior to selling. SO obviously the system leaked out the refrigerant.

Why the 4 lug hate? It never has and never will bother me.

[DON SVO]

There's a lot more options for brakes and wheels. On a street car with power, cobra brakes are the best bang for the buck and open up a huge selection of shoes.

[akfodysvn]

Oh i know that... I just meant why the "hate".

I am never going to be open road racing the car and they make axles plenty strong enough in 4 lug.

[DON SVO]

There's no hate. It's just a boner killer in 4 lug.

[akfodysvn]

haha yeah they don't look as pretty. best wheel ever for those cars those is the pony wheel... don't even try and disagree w/ me
