I have just found a 95 fd that was a theift recovery it is missing its motor, tranny and airbags. So it does have a salvaged title. Do you think $9000 is agood price to pay? And also what are some good web sites to get a motor and tranny?

Please help!

 

9000 is alot for a theft recovered/totaled fd.

id buy it though for a swap.

 

I might be able to work him down a little but i really need web sites for motors to see how much it wold cost to get it running

 

9k seems to be a bit high.... Esp. with the salvage title. I seen them around for 10-12 in good shape.

 

you can find a running fd for about 9-11 k. don't waste your time and money imho...

 

$9k for a salvage title car missing the drivetrain and air bags? hahaha

If everything else on the car is MINT, that car is worth MAYBE $4-5k.....

 

i know the price is high i sure i can get him down a lot and this car is very mint and only 17000 miles on it. But i really need places to buy a motor and tranny. Thanks fo the info on the price.

 

Verify with carfax, he might have replaced the gauge cluster already with a lower mileage one....

The problem with replacing the drivetrain ain't getting a short block, that's easy. It's replacing all of the manifolds, accessories, wiring harnesses, piping, hoses, solenoids, etc. that's difficult and potentially expensive.

 

I did get car fax and its 17000 is there any where on the net to get all these things like a front clip

 

Your best bet is probably getting a J-spec engine set and rebuild it so you'll have all the accessories and the transmission.

 

there is still no way you should pay 9k for that.

 

Agreed. And remember, when your done, you still going to have a car with a salvage title.

That should get you started. I wouldn't pay more than 4k for a shell if it was in perfect condition. Your better off shopping on ebay.

 

$9000 seems expensive for a theft recovery with a salvage title. I got my 94 theft recovery for $3000, w/ no drive train, engine, or interior. It was worth it in the long run but I lived on the forum classified section for a year trying to find people parting cars or selling those hard to find interior peices in black, and in decent shape. All in all buying a theft recovery is worth it if you can get one for a decent price. $9000 seems alot.

 

Damn that is a ton. I got my 93 running for $8,000 with a clean title.

 

As others have stated $9,000 is extremely high. You may want to call your insurance company and ask how much they would sell a salvaged FD for.

Another factor to consider, when you decide to sell the car, it will be difficult to sell since it had a salvage title. You will also have to sell it for less than Blue Book.

 

And a yellow FD that got totalled Haha o well, **** happens. Glad to see it went to a good home. Take care of her. She was very meaningful to me.
