My car hunt! Options

[Lotus]

Ive been looking at ads and searching for celicas all over sweden. One of the more interesting is a 1994 GT (175hp) with ac and leather seats, nothing fancy.

What IS fancy, however, is that it has rolled less then 100 000 km (dunno what that is in miles) and he sells it for about $4900. The right side,around the front wheel, is somewhat damaged as he apperently scratched it along a carport. It isnt beautiful, yet not much. And the guy claims hell get it fixed for another 200 bucks if the buyer wishes.

So, unless there is something horrible wrong hidden somewhere, that is $5100 for a nearly stock 1994 GT with less then 100 000 km rolling. As im a total noob i wouldnt know, but to me that sounds like a good deal. (at least here in sweden)

Here is the ad. One of the images shows the damage done by the garageport, but as he said he would have it fixed for an additional 1500 swedish crown (200 usd) it shouldnt be any problems.

So whatya guys think? If i do get the loan through next week, should i go and pick this baby up? (after a closer examination in person of course)

that damage doesn't look too bad. all you really need is a new passenger's side fender and have it paint matched, so $200 USD sounds about right to fix it.
