If it goes under 10k or 11k its a good deal. Definetly going to need a little work, readjust the crooked headlights and repaint at least the front bumper.

agreed - if you can swing this for under 10k, i would go for it. just make sure to have it checked out by a good mechanic to make sure the engine checks out

Its still on the original motor, IE, it needs a rebuild. Its also about as strait as Richard Simons. That car was obviously in a very hard frontal collision, and repaired by pedros auto repair (know what I mean). Theres three different colors of silver and one color of primer on the car. This vehicle needs 7k in work just to get it in to working order. It a good deal if you can get it for under 7 but I doubt thats going to happen. Some jackass is going to pay 10 for it and **** his pants when he picks it up..

best of luck to ya though..

10-11K is too much for that car, way to much. It is getting close to the limit right now~$5300.

$10K for that one, hell I'll sell you my 93 R1 w/67K with a new motor for $16K. It'll cost you way more than $6K to make that car as nice as mine.

you'd sell me it with a new motor for 16k? really?!? where are you located and what color is your R1? I was looking at a 94 touring, white, in oregon with 200 miles on a reman for 15,9, but if i could get a 93 (potentially lower insurance) for 16, and it wasn't on the west coast i'd do it.
