My 7's engine died this summer and I have been too busy to do much with it but this spring I was planning on doing a rebuild. Then today I found a 85 GS that is in ok shape it has 96k on the speedo. I am running a VIN check also. The rats nest is gone it has an after market carb not sure what kind it has an edelbrach air filter. Has a RB header and a seal was replaced and the mechanic said it had a carbon fiber clutch. The current owner doesn't know much about the car. I drove it and it drives real strong there is no smoke from the exhaust.
There is a leak some where that drips on to the cat so that smokes pretty bad.
It use to be a auto but it was converted to a 5 speed.
There are a few dents and the lock was popped and the stereo and speakers were stolen.
Paint is OK there are some bad spots.

Well what should I offer.

 

2000

 

Want do think they are expecting?
You can get a really nice fb for 2 grand.
Start at no more than 1000, unless you think they'll take less, try not to insult people with low offers, i have a bad habit of doing that. Capatalism is great!

2000 might not be unreasonble if the int is nice, and the low miles, paint can hurt value becasue of it's high cost.
But it's just a gs, no positrac, no electric, does it have a roof?
Will anything need replacing soon? Exhaust etc.

 

The muffler will need to be replaced soon, but that is about it. The interior is a ok.
She said that she might take around $600

 

then offer 500.

 

offer 450
