[QUOTE="I_like_turtlez, post: 16968621, member: 204906"] That car is suspiciously clean for 200K+ miles, I'll presume it's been repainted given the top of the cabin.. Highway miles are always best in terms of engine cleanliness(not so much appearance.. stay 100 yards back from truckers..) If you can get that car for $5,000USD it's a good deal, assuming you have the means to rebuild the engine which I would do sooner than later while you can still do a "refresh". I certainly wouldn't buy it planning to go racing around, yes these engines are well-built but mileage is mileage Blows my mind how 10 years ago you could buy a 40K mile sn95 Cobra for $5K & now they're booking $15K, the last couple of years people have caught on these things were cheap pocket rockets but our economy is whole other topic.. My advice is get specific info about engine, trans, differential oil change intervals; also take a very good peek at the wiring under the hood, I just spent 2 days running new wires for the headlights/parking because someone wrongly used those cheap crimp-connectors all over the place.. and it's a very clean 70K mileage garage-queen Shine a light through the large oil cap hole, is there visible carbon/sludge on the head; gives a good indication of it's past oil intervals Never take someone's word for it when it comes to a used car, not even friends [/QUOTE]
