It's a "sports car" and the guy on the phone admittedly said an adult could only fit in the back seat sideways stretched across the seat. He did say there was loads of room with rearseats down. Front has leather seats and that racing car type of dash. I wonder if that expansive piece of hatch glass would ever brake ... that that would be the kiss of death for that sort of vehicle. He said only about 1800 -1800 station wagons were ever built...
He had lowered it 2 inches and admitted his door handles were busted. Two not very appealing factors to me. And that it needed new injectors.
Reality is that 3000 bucks can get a pretty good used truck or really good older 'brick'. Mine was only 500 bucks but admittedly if I had to count my time for body work (fixing rusted floor and rear hatch...) and new brakes I might be pushing 2000 bucks at the moment and it still would be only worth 500 to a thousand in the resale market. funny her 9000 brick and my 500 have the same interior seats .. and her heated seats don't work either!! I thought the fake leather went out in the 80s. Or is it really leather I have??? It looks like Naugahyde. I like it actually. My Lab hasn't destroyed it yet, but destroyed part of my 'ex's' Subaru's interior (a 14000 car)... it's a co custodial dog btw.
I am borrowing a '93 245 and got to admit her 9000 investment looks pretty good after a couple of years compared to my 500 dollar '86. Same car but a bit more pep and I may be finally converted over to Auto as my Manual is a lot of work and her Auto and extra trimmings or a nice joy to have. Mine's got 161K miles, her's 106K miles.
I am also intrigued with the Masserati in the paper for only 4800 dollars!!! It said Excellant Condition... but it's been in the paper for weeks. I think it's an '85.
A friend joked it probably needs some 4000 dollar part only to be had somewhere in Europe. And About 7 miles to the gallon to if you can get into 3rd gear.
