No, they all need to be replaced sooner or later. But Deacon, maybe it's already done?

I admire your grit - and enthusiasm for 140s. Sounds like you're determined to get one, so look for the obvious stuff. I'd really think finding issues on a potential purchase would not be for argument, or a price reduction. Rather, for a go-no-go decision. Just a few of the obvious things would quickly turn the whole thing sour and I'd be running for the hills.

Busted rear view? Maybe. Out of rounds? Maybe. Rotted fluids? maybe. Burned out steering motors? For sure. Seat motors? Maybe. Broken glass? For sure. Either the car is worth a certain figure or it's not. If it's not, it'll drop off the scale exponentially and you'll buy a sled.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but that car at plazamotors has a collapsed rear-end. Almost every sentence of the description is a red flag.

Keep us posted - you'll find one. If you don't I'll find one for you
