I have been looking at a green 72 1.7. Over all eveything seems to be well maintained, but the battery has been moved to the trunk and put in a marine type battery holder, there is some rust under where the battery used to be, and the wind shield is cracked on the passsenger side (I am guessing this is from body flex) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
I am interested in a daily driver that I can eventually upgrade to make it better running and more reliable. The PO is asking $4,600 , but what kind of expenses can I expect in order to repair the frame? (I have no welding skills...I would have to have it done for me) I would like to offer him what it is worth to me if I have to do a major repair such as this. Soooo I am cautiously asking for opinioins from this boa..oops... fourm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

I think his price warrants a PPI by someone who knows these cars. There are a few down there in Florida, the crack int he windshield may not be from flex. I have one in mine that is from a small rock chip that spread. Have it inspected by someone who knows these cars. Then start your offer from thier evaluations.
