I was really tempted but then thought it'll need tires soon, what if the trans goes and I just got tires for it or something then I need to insure it and the money I'll spend wanting to fix things  should just save my money so I told him I would pass. A shame because I've heard nothing but good reviews on this car, wish it would have been in better condition. Thanks anyways guys for the input  |
Eventually he's going to just junk it probably... When that time comes offer more than $100 scrap value which is probably about $250. I'd buy it then. If it needs a trans you can get one from a junkyard and have a good motor most likely for another 100k or so who knows.
