Is this a good deal?

swtstang · 07-12-2001, 07:51 PM

I found an 89 lx notchback for $4000. The body is in good condition and the interior is perfect. It has only 86,xxx miles on it. It is almost stock, the guy that is selling it just got a dui and lost his lic. What do you guys think?

I would have to say it should be almost perfect for 4,000.

just make sure there's no marks from previous wrecks like weird bends/dimples underneath or on the subframes or inside the engine compartment where the fenders bolt up. (maybe this guy is a repeat offender and wrecked it before...you never know). $4000 sounds like a fair price for it (only if it's a 5.0L). If it's a 2.3L give him max $2500 i'd recommend. good luck

check for wrecks first.
if none then check the paint and interior if go too then go for it.

I checked it out again and it looked good. It looks like the orginal paint. I don't see any riples or anything like. I am picking it up tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys....
