1st time posting here. Been looking for a long time. But wanted to get the forums opinion. I found a SSM 1995 with 80k completely stock. Is this a good deal?

 

" I found a thing for a price. Is it a good deal? "


that's what your post translates to. We need more information. If its listed somewhere then post the link, otherwise explain in great detail the condition of the car.

 

haha, I guess your right. I guess it’s a PPE car. Black Leather, no sun roof. Rear spoiler.

The interior is clean. No cracks, the seats has no rips. All the plastic trim pieces are in place. And has the floor mats.

The paint is clean. No major damage. It has one small door dang. Rims are good. Tires need to be replaced but not an emergency.

The motor is completely stock. No issue turning on or idling. No oil leak that I could see.

Hope this gives you a better idea of the condition car. If I had to rate I would give it a 8 out of 10.

 

Little bit more info:

80k on the miles. One owner car. Clean carfax. No rust that I could see.

Here is a similar car in NJ with a sunroof.

If everything checks out on the one you are considering, including having good compression, $23 -$28 is a fair range given how stock FDs are rarely being offered for sale nowadays. Also 95s are more rare.

 

sounds like a good deal to me providing everything is a 9-10 in condition

 

I saw that car about 3 weeks ago. The current seller/dealer acquired the car from a local elderly owner. I passed on buying it, as I felt the car had too many flaws for the price. I saw evidence of rust in the rear quarters and wheel wells. Engine did turn over and start, but was covered in oil and animal droppings. Interior was there, though rough. Paint was original and worn with dings, dents, scratches. It would be a good candidate to bring back to life/restore.

 

A friend looked at that one a few weeks ago. Its a lot rougher in person. He felt it was more like a 15k car in the condition it was in.

 

THANK YOU gentlemen. This is the car I was talking about. I was about to fly up to NJ to finalize the deal. Didn’t want to say too much about the car cause I had two FD deals stolen from me before I payed. That being said FourtyOunce where was the oil coming from? Rust on the inside the rear quarter panel?

 

The entire shortblock was covered in oil and dirt. Hard to assess where it could be coming from. The driver-side rear wheel arch was pulled out by something at the 9 o'clock position. Rust was apparent on both rear wheel arches though I dont recall if it was bubbled or just surface rust. The car isnt a creampuff but a well worn car that was driven. My input should not deter you from the purchase if you have been able to strike a good deal. However, I would recommend that you obtain detailed pictures of the car (engine bay, quarter panels, underside (did not see this in detail) prior to coming up and making a deal. The dealer/seller was a really nice fellow who is not really familiar with the FD.

 

The car has a sunroof - it is not a hardtop.

 

FourtyOunce thanks for the input on the car. I’ll try and work on the price with this new information. Just talking to him I got him down to 25k but know I know all this.... we’ll see what happens. Thanks again.

 

Good luck!

 

Curious how this worked out for you? Did you end up buying it?

 

Didn’t work out at all... I live in Texas and didn’t want to fly all the way up there and deal with all that and then have to ship the car all the way back to Texas. I been waiting to buy a FD for 10 years I could wait for a few months for a good deal. Thanks for asking.
