Well I 'm totally dejected. The car was kind of a heap & if nothing else certainly has seen better days. I had such a boner over swapping in a new 3.2L catera motor & having an unusually quick Q-ship. The place selling the car is located in Webster just outside of Worcester MA on Rte. 93 (for those who live in that area) & it's outward appearance was an early warning of what I am about to describe. I should state however that the price came down to $500 immediately after I raised an eyebrow & bit my lip dissapprovingly.
The leather was torn on the drivers seat, as was the carpeting. The lower dash & center console were in the trunk (no idea why), there was LOTS of bad re-paint (looked ok from 20 feet away). There was rust in both rear door/fender areas as well as the lip on the hatch. The motor was covered in grime & major cleaning would have to happen before & after removing it. The brake pressure reduction valves (that only a select few have ever heard of) were rusted through, as was the flex joint in the dual down pipe...those two (three) items alone would come close to $700 I'd guess.
I'm a little tempted to just take the car for what I can use on my 95'900s 2.3L. The resinator & muffler were pretty new & would fit fine, as would the rims which looked nice (only one good tire though...a Kuhmo - yech). But thats all I could use..& after going to the trouble to tow it home, off it would go to the bone yard. Seems a shame - all the glass was good & all power acc. worked fine, plus other stuff like head lights, transaxle, etc.
I think I'll lpass on this one though - too much trouble for too little reward. And if I bought it , years from now it would still be wherever the tow truck left it, only covered in moss.
Wow! - I might send this off to readers digest. (sorry) - I need A beer.
