Hi everyone, I need you opinions on a parts car I might purchase. It's a '90 244. I think I noticed somewhere around 140K miles on it.
Here are some of the huge flaws...
-ok looking int. for a parts car
-ext. of car looked ok
-engine went out, since the PO wasn't watching the oil on the freeway.
-all wondows broken out, besides windshield
-dented up driver's side door
-trunk lock broken
-a taillight missing
-the wheels were all missing when I saw it (???) guess someone wanted them, but I don't know if the guy still has them?
-sunroof won't close

Some good areas include:
-body
-headlights, grill, bumpers
-windshield
-seats look pretty okay
-engine was clean (mostly engine parts are what I might be using most)
Those were the huge flaws I found when I quickly looked at the car yesterday. I'm getting tired of driving 40 miles one way to the junkyard everytime I need to. The car I just mentioned is about 4 miles away from where I live. I have an '85 244 tho. The '90 244 would be a donor/parts car. The owner wasn't there, but his friend showed it to me and told me to offer him $100 for it and he'd prob. take it. The "no-wheels" on the car situation sucks! Do you think I will be dragging a piece of junk into my place? I live on 40acres, so it's not a problem w/ room. I will make the offer soon. What do you people think about this? Thanks for the opinions!
