let's make a deal-'88 5kt
No, I'm not selling the car-I'm thinking of buying it.
It has been sitting in front of a tranny shop for about a month, with
out-of-state plates.
177k on the clock, average condx. that I can determine thus far.
Shop says it needs a rebuild, pinion reamed, inside cooked etc. Also needs
both front drive shafts, so he says. All this stuff is out of the car.
With storage charges ($25/day) , he says that it would take $1900 to bring
it out of hock. And I think that he is tired of looking at it.
I told him the driveshafts can be had for $100 each at Autozone (w/lifetime
warranty).
He does not have the title yet, but I suspect the owner will be
"abandoning" the car due to the time lapse. I'm told I'm the first person
to ask about the car.
Any ideas gents...I'm thinking that I should be able to get him down quite
a bit on the price if I supply the driveshafts, or if we just let time take
its course.
