Got a 2ND Max Today
After fixing my car from the wreck and everything else, I was getting ready to do a tranny swap and go 5-speed but I will not have to anymore.
For some crazy reason something told me to check craigslist today for Maxs and Lord Behold there was a 5-speed 98 on there for $900. So thinking that this deal was too good to be true, I took my mechanic out there with me to check the car and everything and when we get there of course the car had lots of issues not mentioned in the add. Here is a small list of things wrong
So just in repairs and maintance that I know I have to do I'm looking at $1100 up front, but the fact that I bought the car for $400 means that it would come out to about to $1500 for a 5-speed 98 that will have no other problems when all repairs are done with.
SO ALL IN ALL I CAN SAY I GOT A DEAL WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR

- First gear is gone (needs a new clutch)
- Fly-Wheel is gone
- Motor Mounts bad
- Power steering hose leak
- Stare tire storage is collapsed (BIG hole there)
- Minor body work needed here and there
- Crappy paint job (dude did it himself and its a FAIL)
- Need driver and passanger seats (The ones in the car are bad)
- BUT THE ENGINE AND TRANNY ARE IN GREAT CONDITION

Here are a few pics I took while picking the car up. The car runs but I didn't want to drive it home with a bad clutch so I just used my Dad's tow truck and brought it home.
EDIT: Better pics coming later.

I also have a guy that will do all my body work for me free of charge all I have to do is pay for parts but me being the person that I am will give him like 250-300 just because he will be doing body work on both my Max.
