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)

A lttle update:

I finally got in touch with the guy and just yesterday he went into a waterslide and trashed the right side of the car.
According to him, the right door and right front fender will have to be replaced, while the right backside of the car probably can be fixed fairly cheap. Other then that, according to him, the car is in wonderful shape.

He has instantly dropped the price another 10k swedish crowns (about 1400USD) and i suspect ill be able to talk him down further some if i actually go meet him.


On sunday im gonna get a bunch of images of the car and its damages so then ill know if its worth even bothering. Im allready looking through the junkyards for a replacement door and fender, and ill have to check what its gonna cost me to repair the rear side of the car AND a repaint.

Ill keep you updated, but if everything works out as planned, ill have this baby back on the road in notime, looking better then ever =)
