Judging by the exterior pics i'd say you got a pretty good deal, it has a motor right? The outside is clean, paint looks pretty good.

Could be a bad injector or needs a tune up. Compression check to be sure.

Looks good from this end the exterior is in pretty good shape, I haven't looked at the engine pics yet though...

But for $2500 it looks good to me just make sure to do a tune up maybe take it to a mechanic to tell you about any engine problems if you're not all that car-savvy

Hey, your engine stole my crayon box I think you got an alright deal, and it looks pretty clean besides the crazy engine bay and bumper. I would've searched around for an S5 if I was willing to spend that much, but yoy still got an alright deal. What about the interior condition and mileage?

I got my 87 TII for 2500, the interrior was mint and the outside needed (still needs a paint job), and the motor is a ******* champ! 138,xxx miles on it now! I'd say you got a good deal, but do a full tune up and a compression check like everyone is saying just to be sure!

ooooooooooooooooooooooo, a stockie!! Nowhere to go but up. I would say it's worth 2500. You definitely gotta work on those engine bay colors. And time to remove almost everything.
