whats up everyone i wanna know what you guys think of this...well i found a 92 max 5spd with 101k miles on it...it needs a new paint job and and need new ebrake,tune up,spoiler,new radio, and there is a sound under the engine when i press the clutch the sound is gone and the temperature gauge doesnt work the moon roof doesnt work the 2 back windows need to be adjusted the guy wanted 1200 but i talked him down to 1000 what do you guys thing of this let me know.

 

if you get it be prepared to spend some money.

say you spend 1000 now. here are the parts you say it needs

Paint- a good paint job at least 1500

ebrake- prolly just needs adjusting or could be worn pads- most 100 for pads and rotors

tune up- plugs, pcv, fuel filter, oil and filter...lets say 100

spoiler- factory replacement at least 150 if you cant repair that one

radio- whatever you want to spend here-fix the bose and amps ~300 or go custom for better sound at least 500 for decent HU and speakers.

sound- could be vtc but since you say it goes away when you push the clutch sounds like something in the trans. which could cost as much as 1500.

temp gauge- cluster is prolly bad- 50 from a junk yard or it could be that there is air in the system which you can bleed off with a valve under the hood.

moon roof- could be nothing more than a clip broken and blocking it from going back or a messed up track or motor. I guess at the most 300 but not sure on that.

windows needing adjusting- prolly the window regulators gone on both of them which is 60 a piece.

now with just those problems your looking at maybe $5k with the price of the car.

I would look elsewhere because you could get a better car for less money in the long run...or have the problems checked out by a trusted mechanic to see if they are major or just little things that can be fixed easy and cheap.

just my .02

 

dammm for real man thanks for your help ill let that one pass me by aight thanks again

 

Didnt mean to scare you away from it completely...I just gave a worst case. Thats why I said take it to a trusted mechanic. Heck it may actually be a diamond in the rough with just minor things but has the potential to be a money pit.

and I know a thing or 2 about money pits.

 

yeah i understand man thanks for the input though am gonna take my mechanic to check it out and let me tell me what i should do
