That car is worth about $2k in normal, good condition. So if it needs $3K of work, it's a parts car.
Lemme see...ugly, expensive paint job - check. Ugly lights - check. Ugly, expensive wheels - check. Functioning windows - 1 out of 4. I'm not so sure about this guys maintenance priorities.
There's a tacky-fied 124 in north Dallas too. It's a two tone blue '93 - factory paint,
AFAIK, but with really big, ugly wheels. So yeah, the 124 does seem to be attracting that type of owner. I wonder why - aren't these lousy cars on which to fit big wheels?
