Collin, I have to agree with the others here. Unless you can buy this cheap to fix & use for track events don't bother with it. It sounds like it has been neglected, which leads to other lurking gremlins. Besides all the trouble and costs associated with fixing & making it 'right', there will be zero resale and you will probably never get back what you're putting in. |

Valves do NOT just 'burn' and get 'replaced.'
Teh valve burnt because of bad mizture in that cylinder. WHO KNOWS what other work may be needed? Plan on minimum a new engine IMO.
How is the interior? Beat to hell? RUN, 348s can be found for cheap and in plenty with no stories.
Unless he'll let it go for $10grand of course :D)
Best!

a clean car would bring around $45K to $55K.
deduct $2K for windshield? just a guess.
deduct maybe $7K for miles???
deduct cost of valve job??$2500
deduct cost of 30K svs?? $4500
paintwork deduct? $2500? if no real damage.
That is $18,500. Take a price of $50K and deduct that and you are left with $31,500.
So the real question is can you get the svs done and stuff replaced for cheaper and do you not care about miles? If so then you may have a deal, but if not then why pay the same price to have a fixed up car when you could buy a clean one for $50K?
Your call.
I bet they won't sell it for what this # comes out to. I wouldn't pay more than |

Here are the facts:
1990, red w/tan
needs new windshield
one burnt valve - needs valve job
62K miles on odometer
needs full 30K service
paintwork on one quarter panel
Any opinions on fair market value? |
