Hey guys it would be my first FB and i went and test drove it and it was awesome..... no power steering though
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...757548712.html

it also has a small crack in the dash.....it even has original tires......

 

Find out how often it was driven. I hope it didn't sit for years at a time.

And original tires is not a good thing. 27 year old rubber is going to fail, whether driven on or not.

 

i'd be all over that.... but yeah it'll need tires and probably a couple other things if you start driving it daily, cars are usually stored improperly

you don't need power steering in these cars, effort is lighter than some p/s cars ive had.

 

yeah the tires seem sketch

i drove it and i think he said it sat for a while but it drove super nice and seems to be strong, started right up

it has collector plates so i dont think its driven often

 

pulling it out of his garage was a pain but the second you start going its all buttery

 

Sounds like a great deal, I'd go for it!

 

Yeah, it's not a bad deal, as long as it was driven from time to time, to keep the components from going bad.

 

Very clean 7, looks great. Check the usual rust spots, if it has bin rust, knock 1k off of it, otherwise I'd shoot for abound 2800.

 

Yeah it's sexy, I'd be all over that, but try and get it cheaper!

 

very good deal. i'd keep it 100% stock and enjoy it. its already a collector's car!!

 

Looks very nice! I'd jump all over it.

 

+1

 

Another sweet "barn find"

 

whats bin rust and as low as he will go is 3000

 

Also the brake light stays on in the dash and the brake fluid is fine...... he said the brake master cylinder might need replaced but the brakes seemed fine the way i drive (like a grandma)
are these easy to get ahold of?

 

master cylinders can be had for less than $50 from parts stores. about $90 from Mazda. 3K is a great deal for what the car is. i'd be all over that if it were near me.

 

dash brake light stays on? check rear brake lights. they are easier to replace than a master cylinder.

 

I too would go for it if I had enough $$$.

 

look under the storeage bins for rust.

 

So, now the question begs to be asked. Did you pull the trigger and buy it?

 

It's because of the Low Fluid Sensor in the Master Cylinder.
Needs to be topped off and/or replaced.

Very Nice Find! My Favorite Color!

 

Compared it to this $4000 hunk of junk that doesnt even include the engine or gearbox.

Yours is a bargain

 

A burned out rear brake light can also give a dash brake light warning.

 

i didnt buy it but is so tempting....sadly i dont quite have all the money and im getting laid off july 1st so i need to focus on getting a new job

 

Damn what a shame.

Anyway good luck with finding a new job. Its a tough place right now.
