i am thinking about buying a 1989 s/5 gtu. its got 10x,xxx miles on the body. the engine has about 25,000 miles stage 2 street port. the front brakes are upgraded to the 4 piston turbo 2 brakes. they're only feq things wrong with it. the suspension is bad, the tranny has no 3rd gear and small dents and starchs in a few places. and my friend is selling it to me for $1,500. i was just wondering if i am getting a good deal? thanx in advance travis

 

sounds decent to me. get a tranny rebuild and new paint, and you'd have a pretty nice car(for an N/A )

hey, my name is travis too

 

buy it

 

**** man that for 1,500... pretty good deal.. even a new tranny and paint, with what he's got your still good

 

BUY it.Just a tranny,which can be replaced for about $150.00 with your labor.

 

Too much money. Offer $500.

 

i was hoping everyone would think thats a good deal. h ave a pic of it. the only thing it doesnt come with are the set of rims shown on the front of the car. let me know what you think of it. travis

 

I say go for it. Its not going to cost you that much to get that thing in good order again.

 

looks pretty good, sounds like a good deal. id talk him down a little bit just because you can

 

Good deal. Lowball him, and settle on a "happy midle"... like $750

You can get a used tranny for CHEAP, and swapping them is very simple. Just need access to tools and preferrably a hoist.
