Hey guys been a long time because I had to sell my old FD because of a move. But now I am ready to get one again.

I wanted to know what you guys thought of this car and if it is a good deal.

93
Brilliant Black with Tan leather
5spd --- of course
36,000 miles.
Completely stock

Car is currently in AZ but said he bought from LA Motorcars in TX.

From what the guys has told me it sounds like a touring, Moon roof, spoiler... I dont know exactly how to tell. He is a friend of my girlfriends and says he is a "motivated buyer" but for even say $17k I would rather buy around $13K with higher miles and rebuild with streetport with hybrids.

Please let me know what you guys think.

Eric.

 

i'd say it's a good deal

 

Dude, take it from me...the peoson who has 17k invested in a 94 Silver R2...bought it stock one year ago and have spent 10k since then....If you think about it you can buy any of the 400+ HP monsters on here for much less than you will spend on that car building it the way you want it. I chose to start with a stock car and build it myself...Boy was I ******* stupid. With 27k invested and I still don't have a rebuild and the wheels I want I feel like I could kick my own teeth out for choosing this path. Anyway, what I am trying to say is that it's better to spend a bit more on a fully modded car that someone has built and babied, or buy CHEAP and build from there.

Don't get me wrong, I love the crap out of my car and wouldn't trade anything for the knowledge I have gained (something you probably wont get from buying a fully modded car)...I just thing I could have done it smarter financially.

Choose wisely.

I bought mine for $19 with a rebuilt motor, refurbished turbos and the mods listed below with 39,000 miles.

Except boost guage

 

But yes, I would go for it, get it inspected though.

 

If you're going to keep it roughly stock, then it may be a good deal (if it looks as good as it sounds). If you're going to mod the hell out of it then I'd say either buy a high-mileage blown motor or do what apneablue said and buy one already modded.

 

its a good deal. however you are probably going to mod it so buy one w/ more miles for like 12k and be happy.

 

Posts like this make me glad that I bought mine with a completely new drivetrain for 16K.

 

Sounds good to me. You aren't going to find many cars out there with less than 40k miles, if you don't get this one it'll be a long time before another one comes around at that price (or any). My personal view is the newer the better, new in terms of mileage and in terms of wear. I'll pay a nice premium for seats that look new, paint that is glossy, etc. If you are asking if its a good deal, to people like myself, yes (assuming the mileage is reflective of the condition), but only you can decide if that kind of car is for you.

 

Plug in the variables at http://www.kbb.com and get a blue book value. Offer him that much (it should be less than 18K, I calculated $14,590 on that site). Print it out and show him.

I'd buy it. 36000 miles AND it's black. You can't go wrong. That car should give you a lot more miles unless it's been overheated (or you blow it up with improper mods).

Get a downpipe and just drive it stock for a while.

Have it checked thoroughly by a knowledgeable mechanic.

Good luck.

 

Eric, what's up. This is Matt, I'm Autumn's friend, I told her about Cory. That's pretty funny to see you posting about it.

It's a solid car though, he spent about 4 months trying to find it and he's kinda pissed his dad wont by it from him so he can have it to drive.

Anyway, have Autumn call me and you can schedule a time to come check it out with him, he'll let you get it inspected.

If you are serious man, let him know because I went over to his place, I think 2 days ago, and someone was test-driving it with him.

very good deal, if in nice condition

 

I agree, if the car is in excellent condition, it is worth the price.
