QUOTE (HaysoosKreesto @ Oct 12, 2014 - 7:37 PM)  I bid 1.6k ON THE CONDITION THAT #1 the fuel cell/axle dilemma is solved so that when I go down there I can TEST DRIVE IT, #2 it passes smog not somewhere that you know "a guy" but passes smog, #3 new fluids on EVERYTHING, new fuel pump and water pump. I know I'm getting myself into a headache if I were to buy this car... new belts all around, new gaskets all round, rust accumulation, brake lines possibly, new hosing throughout the car, who knows how a turbo or IC is affected with not being driven for so long, it still needs a fuel cell, the fact that I would need to drive this car 500 miles reliably after not being driven for who knows how long... the possibility that some college kid decided to be stupid with it and potentially ruined the engine gah! So many questions so little time. Know one even knows if the AWD conversion was successful or if possibly something is wrong. I totally agree with everyone here . this car is most definitely not 5k anymore. Maybe what's fair is that the buyer take the car 1st, assess it and then post his findings(with pics of replacement parts) for the community to decide what's fair for the $. As long the community here can honestly vouch for the buyer. A little deposit before you take it will suffice. The buyer should also give a time line on completing the project. If not then this 'sale' might drag on for too long This post has been edited by longsbeans: Oct 13, 2014 - 6:42 PM |

If not then this 'sale' might drag on for too long To be honest I don't want to have to do work for your car, I want you to do the work and I buy. I will give a small deposit after I see the car is fully functional and driving with registration and smogged. -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)
