we really need some more info on it to tell if it was worth the money. Whats wrong with it, what kind of work does it need, and how much did you spend on it?

Are the tires bad or they just leak? If they are just leaking then take the wheel off the car and let all the air out and put really really soapy water around the bead of the tire. Pump it full off air and add a few extra psi and that should stop the leaks. Worked on my winter beater.

Looks like a nice car!

Any local tire shop should be able to fix the leak very very cheaply...

It will likely be one of the following:

1) bad valve stem (maybe $5.00 a wheel to fix)
2) bad bead on the rim/tire (maybe $10.00 a wheel to fix)
3) puncture w/ leak, (plug might cost $10.00 a wheel)

this is an 89 gtus. i traded the guy my 89 prelude and gave him 500 dollars on top of that. the body needs some work, its rusty around the rear wheels, there is a hole in the front passenger fender for some reason. it does need new tires all around. needs new exhaust which im getting some from a buddy in a few weeks that he had on his 87....... should fit, right??? i had the headlights up like that cause something was wrong with the motors or the switch so i manually put them up, just got too lazy to get them all the way up. aaaaaaand then we come to the motor. right now there is an aftermarket alarm on it which kills the power to the motor. and i cant shut the damn thing off.. the remotes wont work, the emergency override wont work. and its too advanced for me to take out. then it wont idle either. i have to keep my foot on the gas at all times. so im guessing its probably a vacuum leak somewhere. but i tried to drive it the other day, cause if i jump start it, then it will bypass the alarm. but when i got going it would just die. so i would have to get it jumped again. so im hoping its just an 02 sensor that caused it to die......as you can see its got some issues. but nothing too major i dont think.
if you got any ideas of what i should do. let me know, im open to all suggestions
thanks
