Need U Guys Opinion
I have a fd in my driveway that I am considering purchasing... It is kinda messed up and I need peoples opinions on what I should pay. Here is the lo down: 55000 miles on car
3000 on engine
apexi intake/exhaust/ avcr
hks dp
fluidline radiator
There is an oil leak im not sure from what tho its not too bad, the tranny grinds 5th, slight boost leak and creep(seems to only leak in 1 and 2 gear)
Moderate body damage including the left tailight housing/quater panel rebuilt with bondo, lightly dented fender, cracked front bumper and dented rear hatch(pushed in 1 inch above key hole) + a bunch of dings here and there
Also the car was repainted white but the engine bay left red. The paint is poor in some areas and there seems to be lots of overspray.
Interior is dirty with some broken pieces including driver door panel and windsheild vent. driver seat is badly torn. Passanger window works intermitently.
Please give me your take its ok if your not sure...

Doesnt seem like anything major to fix.
If it was me I would make sure I got a good deal for a paint job & interior fixup after the purchase.
Mods never mean much on a used car for sale, so basically that car isnt in great condition but the mileage isnt bad.. 11k~12k and put a nice $3k paint job into it with another $1k of a few reliablitly mods and misc. things to fix up the probs.

Fixing up the interior and exterior will cost FAR MORE than replacing an engine or turbos (or maybe even both).
If it's done right, that body work and repaint sounds like at least $5-6k (it would be a lot more in Cali). Interior pieces are extremely expensive to replace unless he can find good deals on used pieces people are selling.
Since he's having boost issues, that will require troubleshooting. The car blew a motor at only 52k so who knows the condition of the existing "new" motor....
The main issue I would have is that the car was obviously abused and you don't know for sure what else was not fixed or was fixed half-***.
I wouldn't pay more than $4-5k personally.

buahahaha, Yeah Im smoking crack
dumbass.
Read whats wrong with the interior.
" some broken pieces including driver door panel and windsheild vent. driver seat is badly torn. Passanger window works intermitently."
That windshiled vent and door panel are going to be crazy expensive huh?!
And the engine has only 3k miles on it! Assuming nothings wrong there and like most shady remans, then he wont need an engine like you think he will.
Where I live you can get a great paint job from the local respectable place for $3k.
There are blown engine FDs going for $6k~$7k easy. with decent bodys

Every part on these cars is very expensive. The windshield vent is 3 pieces, 2 of which are about $32 each. So you are looking at between $60-70 just for those. Of course, that isn't very much by itself but everything ads up very quickly. Make sure that you know all the parts you are going to need to replace BEFORE you buy it. You can find some very good deals here on the forum on used parts. Of course, if the car hasn't been cared for then it might be worth looking elsewhere. 94s are generally more expensive because there were only about 3,400 of them brought over. 95s are even more because there were only about 500 of those. So the resale value of a 94 should be higher than that of a 93 in similar condition.

I dunno...For me with my schedule and everything I'd much rather buy something I don't have to jack with that much. Maybe a little touch up here and there. But if I have to spend too much time and money into making it nice again then I'd look elsewhere....I bought a mint FD with original everything and I spend so much time on mods that I couldn't imagine having to mess with the interior and exterior. But then again, it's kind of up to you and how much time and money you want to pour into it..
For a trashed out FD that needs engine and turbo work but still runs I would probably pay between 7-8k...but then it's a 94 of maybe bump it up to 9k
Friend of mine just paid 5.5k for a body minus the tranny and engine...93... the body needs minor work, and the interior needs also some little things like some replaced plastic...Don't know if this would give you something to work from

Instead of resorting to childish name calling, why don't you explain in accurate detail how anything I said is not true or how it makes me look like a dumbass. If I am wrong in anything I've said in this thread, I'll own up to it.
