Post pictures. I'm leaning towards no. 250k is a lot of stress and age on bushings, bearings, etc. The engine might be great but the chassis might be showing its age. If the owner has replaced virtually everything and has been repaired/replaced, including body work, then it might be worth closer to $8,500.

Heres his add let me know what you think. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/3198876766.html That color looks nice, but it's hard to judge the exterior condition. The quality of the engine install is of importance here, whether it was done right or not will play a role on how long it lasts. I'd say if the car checks out after personal inspection, and the mechanicals are in absolutely solid condition, offer six thousand at the most. I did offer six and he said ifi asked you guys that youd justify gis price guess not xD |
