i'd say get it. but if they're wanting $1700 for it then they're prolly not gonna go below $1200.

looks to be really well treated... ready for a change wink.gif

Are you nuts..$1700 buy that shit dude! Very beautiful and well maintained from the way it looks. I paid $2K for mine and it was a little nicer with 98,000 miles on the clock so $1700 seems real good.

That is a little high compared to what I payed for mine but my car wasnt in that good of condition. I would say go for it. If it runs good and doent do anything out of the ordinary I say go for it! reliable quick! and how can it have a loud exhaust if it still has that pea shooter hanging out of the back of it?lol

A/C, Centre console, Nice paint, Clean engine, New tires. Nothing to do but maintain it. How is the drivers seat? What more could you ask for? make a lower offer and split the difference. You don't see many like that. JS

buy it, but not for $1700. You should be able to get it a bit cheaper than that.

But I'd still pay 1500$ for it, looks pretty clean.

my question is, how did he repair the rear quarter? bondo? or did he actually cut out the rot and replace with nice new metal? obvisouly the panhard mount he must have reenforced with some sorta metal.

the next time you go to haggle with him, bring a magnet and see if it will stick to the quarters.

i just hate it when ppl think they are getting some nice and it starts rotting 3 months later!

but if he put new metal, i would go for $1500 myself.

dude snap that car up..or you WILL regret it later.....
if you change your mind ANY person here would like to own that nice clean car.
try him for 1500...that seems to be going rate about now
oh yeah,faster AND furious..Heh Heh Heh

better to be thought the fool..
rather then to open one's mouth and confirm it

use may include risk factors these include;anal leakage,oily discharge,copious flatulence,bloating,incontinence,erectile dysfunction,body rejecting genitals,a racing or severely diminished heart rate/including death. discontinue use if health insurance ends,or patient turns blue and doctor leaves after declaring patient has died...your results may vary
