My opinion:
Not a 78,000 car
Nice interior
doesn't/can't start
Passenger door can't open- probably due to the rusted out long
Nice clean trunks
did I say Nice interior?
Rivs
Maybe a $500 parts car as its a 1.8l with some rust issues. Yellow paint is several different colors from body work.
POS car

(mine just went up in value another $1000)

just needs a little armor all.

Posted by: Rocky Jul 1 2004, 09:46 AM

A little por-15, bondo, 2 years and $7K might get you a daily driver.

maybe my car wasn't a bad deal after all. i think it will need a bit more than armorall. but i could be wrong...

Posted by: Eddie914 Jul 1 2004, 03:07 PM

If Geoff would have used the same inspection technique he used on my 914 ... the car may have broken in half!

He stood on the passenger door sill and jumped up and down (to check the passenger long). Mine didn't break in half (didn't even sag too much) so I guess I'm safe!

Posted by: red914 Jul 1 2004, 03:49 PM

i think my longs are ok, but i am too timid to jump up and down on mine like that.

of course, i am much more well fed than Geoff!

Yikes!
I eyballed one today up in Everett.
It was a cutomer car in a shop called Conrad Motors.

Posted by: Bleyseng Jul 2 2004, 10:13 PM

REALLY? some pink ones were made and some where shipped to Hawaii. I have a tranny out of a pink one. Chicks loved em.

This one was obviously a repaint.
