A friend told me about an '84 wagon for sale ($800) with 130,000 miles. It has a new battery, mass air flow meter and wiring/caps/rotor (and something else but I forgot what). I drove by it tonight and it looks decent, some rust around the tire wells but that's about it. Interior is about the same - driver's seat a little worn, but everything else is nice. It allegedly "drives pretty good".
I know I should worry about the transmission, steering and rusted floor pans, but what else? Is this a fair price, assuming the car is in decent condition? If it drives decently, I will take it to my mechanic so he can tell me how much it will *really* cost, but in the meantime I would like to know if I should even bother looking at this car more given the initial asking price...
