91' apex seals
For months and months now there has been a 91' NA for sale near my place. The owner even put it up on a local website and still nothing. He's asking for $1000.
I've seen the body, and it's mint, even has the anniversary body kit. Something like 170km's. It says j-spec engine, not completely sure what that is, but the main problem is it needs new apex seals. Now with no seals, there's no compression I gather. So is it worth it to low ball this guy and then do a rebuild or swap etc...
let me know.

1K isn't too bad. If it's mint inside and out that's not bad. I did spend a little extra on my motor when I rebuilt it and it cost me around 2300. That's my time. I did get a quote from a mechanic for about 4K.

Wth are you talking about?

Rebuilds starting at $1000.
You could technically get a near mint FC with a new rebuild for about 2k. That is an amazing deal.
And that is almost the worst case scenario.

theres no such thing as J-spec NA. all J-specs are turboed.
Worst case scenario is that it would need housings(pricey) and rotors. plus it could need other things. It could total over $2k just in parts. Thats in american dollars.

A dead motor is a dead motor, no matter NA or turbo. Either way you look at it all you are paying for is a rolling chassis. For a really good body, I'd pay no more than $600 and thats for a California car.

Assuming its 1000 CAN, then thats a good deal even if the engine is toast. You can find a decent used engine and rebuild it yourself for less than 2 grand (USD) and have a nice working car.
