I spoke to the guy selling this car and he says it is a local car out the Dallas area. The way he talks about the car he makes it sound like it is pretty near being complete and driveable, but the more I look at the pictures I am not sure if it is worth what he is asking for. What do you guys think.

Just a word to the wise - I understand budget limitations, but fixing up a neglected teener can easily cost 2x the price of a good teener in similar condition (applies for most other vehicles too). And that assumes you do the work (zero labor cost).
You really want to purchase the best condition car you can afford and go from there. Be patient - for any given condition you can find a wide range of prices. If you keep looking you might find a very clean car that someone is anxious to move quick or just doesn't know the market. |

And that assumes you do the work (zero labor cost). You really want to purchase the best condition car you can afford and go from there. Absolutely spot-on advice. Mine got to sit for 10 years while I climbed up the earnings ladder at work and was finally able to afford fixing it, all because I tried to save a buck on initial purchase. I could have been enjoying driving a teener all that time, but no (and mine ran, came with original FI, had very little rust when purchased, and it still kicked my ass). Buy something SOLID that RUNS WELL and is a COMPLETE CAR, not some basket case. The Camp 914s seem like a good bet to me. My 2 cents anyway. Brent |
