Worth $700? **Pics** 56K Be Forewarned

[Dexter_n2o]

Im loooking at buying this 87 NA. A lil over 200K on the clock, yall think its worth $700?
Problems, Timing of a tooth or three, causing a slight backfiring at idle.
Cat was clogged, but seller is cleaning it out for me
Obvious cosmetic problems:

some more.

how do i resize on my computer to post em up?

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

thatss a LOT of work. maybe 500.

Personally I wouldn't pay anywhere near $700 which it may be worth... For me there is way too much body work that needs to be done. There is hardly a straight panel on it. Depends on what you want to end up with really, with enough money it could turn out real nice! I'd look for a straight body with engine trouble and pay a little more.

i feel you, I just need something now. A friend and I are goin half on it, Its basically something to drive until my lude is fixed and sold, plus, its like 4 and a half hours away. I'm gonna start talkin her down tomorrow.

 

[Reign_Maker]

Uh no... And goin "half" on a car with a friend is a bad idea...

Timing of a tooth or three? What does that mean? How did the timing teeth break? I've never seen that... And if they DID break, there's something bigger wrong there...

Its a pre-89 NA... And its running like shit? AND it has a clogged cat? wth? Dood, I MIGHT give the guy $300 IF he brought it to me... Then I'd part it out to the members on here that might need some parts off it...

Good luck with your decision...This is just my own opinion...

 

[Dexter_n2o]

I mean that thie teeth are not lined up, the intake gear is off. they arent broken.
Its a female selling it, its should be easy to talk her down.

 

[Mr.SelfDestruct]

dont buy it! save up for a car thats worth owning as anything other than a bunch of parts piled together!

 

[jbsupra89t]

That thing has been through the mill. Sorry man IMO I'd keep looking

[rakkasan]

$100, max. If they don't like the offer, the junk yard will give them $50. I wouldn't even buy it.

Something to keep in mind "You can't polish a Turd" I think in this case it's applicable !

 

[Justin]

the ONLY reason I would accept that car is to part it out.... honestly some things are not worth fixing.

Save your money and buy somthing that will be worth it

 

[turbo]

:kloguck: One J is right, you cannot polish a turd and I don't think it is possible to ever make that car nice even if you dumped a pile of money into it. Keep looking.

 

[Reign_Maker]

Who's "ONE J"? lol.... :aigo:

IJ. "Not One J"

 

[Brewster]

Thing thing is as big a POS as the car I parted. I wouldn't buy that car.

 

[Stretch]

Even if you're just buying it to drive around right now, chances are it won't safety right off the bat, so you'll have to put more money into it just to drive it for those couple days before something breaks due to the rust or neglect it seems to have. And who owns the car you or your buddy? I would never go half on a car with a bud, even a best bud since you both might want it a lot you know?:icon_conf

I think Im just going to save and fix my lude now. Ill do as my sig says and buy a Supra with what I make from sellin the lude. I've been thinking about it all day and unless I was doing a complete restore its too much, then I could still find a cheaper shell in better condition.

 

[89Turbo]

short answer: no, long answer: nooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Topher E]

500 at the most, i would offer 3-4
