I may swoop this up, in the description all it seems to be needing is some common head work. It's a 2001 for only $3200 with 80k I called and she seems legit saying I can test drive it and we could do lunch after...Wtf. I just want it to mod it on the side since I daily drive my 05. Look at it and give me your thoughts.

Ps. I got a manual tranny waiting to install since this one is an auto.

If you read the ad, she bought the car 6 years ago for $10,000 when it had 80k mileage. Definitely has more.

Lol! I know right.
I may just buy it for the chassis and shell and swap the tranny & engine.

That has been up there for over 3 months. Obviously more wrong with it than she is saying due to the accident. She actually RAISED the price...

Lmao!. I'm gonna head up there on Sat morning to test drive it...the car. Bringing the wife because she wants to go over to Napa after. (Car in Santa Rosa) so I guess I won't be asking if she can offer free head work.

At the very least it doesn't have a salvage title so that is solid.

But 197k is a few. definitely ask her about headgaskets at the very least usually those don't last past 130k. and then you have to think about all the rubber bushings and all that fun stuff is super old and mostly likely worn out. Its going to be a little worn out/beat

That being said thats a very low price if you are willing to put a little back in to make it better could be fun

Yeah, she agreed to sell it to me for $2500 like 2 months ago. She seems a bit off haha

Edit: why didn't I get asked to lunch

Not having a salvage title doesn't mean too much in terms of buying it, since she clearly states it was in an accident AND that she is aware that the head gasket needs to be done. All that means is she didn't make a claim so there may be no way to know how much damage there really is without driving it/looking at it. It is almost without question that the insurance would have totaled it otherwise because it needs a new driver's door and she already replaced the fender, needs paint, etc... but at least it is a 5sp. I've been pondering that one myself just for a daily. I don't care about paint for a DD.

There's the smallest amount of potential in the reflection on the trunk pic.
