input needed...
someone at work has been unable to sell their '82 930. Baby on the way and they just lowered the price from 20 to 15 K. 67K miles, repainted grey in lieu of original burgandy (pretty good job tho). GREY market car. Thought I might offer the guy $13K, drive it around for a year, and sell ot for 15? If it was not grey market I think it might be worth 20? Or take the motor out and put it in Tiggr? Anyone have an opinion? |

So now you've driven it. Excellent. They ain't the greatest rain cars -- when the boost hits, the tires often won't hold it, which in slippery conditions, can create some excitement. (and usually when you are not exactly ready -- it takes off well and then looses it) But so what -- who drives in the rain anyway. I love turbos, but rebuilding a P-turbo engine is not for the faint of heart -- and it will do serious damage to your wallet.
So the engine is where I would start. (I'm not an engine mechanic -- these are the things you have ask questions. pursue answers, and such -- PPI's, etc) You need to be comfortable that the engine you are buying is in the condition you need it to be. Cars with thermo's -- no, regardless of milage. Past that, standard P-car purchase rules are in effect. kim. |
