    Hey everyone, I saw into this car over the weekend for sale sitting at my local grocery store parking lot. I live in kind of a yuppy area and there are all kinds of cars for sale in this parking lot at times. I spoke with the owner, and he has no records, no tool kit, no idea how many previous owners, but claims to have kept the car serviced (I did not ask where, but I should have) and in good condition. The car runs well and passed emissions. He did have the emissions doc. Paint is good and the interior could use some re-dye work in some areas. I was thinking upper $30s to no more than $40k for a car like this. Anyone have a differing opinion?? I might take a stab at it, but he is asking way too much at this point.


    regards

    The last major service is your most important milestone. Proof of that determines buy price. Service history will be proven by leak-down and compression. Lack of documentation beyond that is a negotiating tool but little else. Condition of clutch is anybody's guess without docs, but you can put in a rebuilt for $250 if you do the work yourself. Twenty people are about to disagree with me, just wait.

    I really should get hold of the seller again to find out who the mechanic was. I was advised that two years ago it was in the shop for what he called a 'major tune-up'. I was not given a dollar figure for the work, or what he defined as a 'major tune-up'. He had no idea what Fchat was, but I was not going to hold that against him ;)

    There are too many well cared for cars out there I would look else where. I don't mean to rain on your parade but proper care and records is very important to these cars. regards,Vern

    Agreed. I don't think I want to get into a rogue 348. That could end up costing A LOT.
