everything on the car is good, minor rust. rebuilt engine but the driveshaft and the shiftrod housing are busted. im getting it for 1000 as is, is that a good price or would i be able to find a gxl for a similar price?

 

I'd pass. For two reasons.

1.) Rust.

2.) Rust.

There's always more than you think.

 

it is only surface rust. around the rear wheel wells...

Crawl under and start poking around, I bet there is more than you think.

 

so in your opinion how much should gxl's usually go for. 1700 maybe?

 

For a pretty decent S4 GXL? $1,300 - $1,700.

 

thats lacking the rust too correct?

 

Sans rust, yes.
