There's a reason it's on Craigslist for $1500 OBO. These are terrible cars from a financial perspective because parts and labor are the same as for the roadsters, but there is almost no interest in them. Unless there is something that you can fix yourself fairly inexpensively that is responsible for the seemingly bargain price, keep looking.
