There is a local car for sale. The owner posted it for sale @ $19,000. He didn't really know what he had.
I went to look at it and found the following;
The bad
broken back, pushed my fingers into the frame on the driver side too
floor rotten
sale panels rotten
rear trunk - some rust
front trunk - some rust
steel wheels - 4 flat rotten tires
cracked dash
1 broken tail light
car hasn't run in 15 years
engine parts in trunk from repairs - 1 cylinder, piston and head (looked like a dropped valve)
the chassis is gone, I won't repair another one like this

The good
2.0 engine - hasn't run in 15 years - mileage 50K??? odometer reading
good glass
good interior but fear 35 year old vinyl will split once it is sat on.
center console
good front and rear hoods
good targa
fair rubber seals (better than some of mine)
fair trim pieces
good rubber bumper covers
good door hardware

I told the guy he'd be lucky to get $1500-$1900 for it but was thinking of making him an offer.
What do you think?
