Just got a hella deal on another 2 (for the mrs's)

CJMR2T · 11-09-2009, 04:01 PM

Just picked up (well bought but not picking up till sat.) another 2.

We couldn't pass it up for the price (and she really wanted one too)

91 N/A 5speed for $300

The only thing it needs is paint (all the body work is done and primed and just needs final sanding and spraying) and it needs an engine. Other then that, the car is GREAT. Interior is in pretty much perfect shape.....

What do you guys think, $300 for a car that need spraying and an engine, to good to pass on???

honda_bar · 11-09-2009, 04:13 PM

not bad

mr29180 · 11-09-2009, 04:16 PM

Whatttt 300 wow good deal

muffinman · 11-09-2009, 04:28 PM

sounds like a great deal.

now post some pics.

CJMR2T · 11-09-2009, 06:41 PM

Pics to come. Gonna try to round up a car hauler or dollie to go get it sat. Its about 1.5hrs from where we live.

Luckly I can get a 5S to go back in it for less then $200 and spraying the car will only cost me the price of materials. So for under a grand, she'll have a great looking good running duece.

Honestly in my eyes, the car is worth $600+ the way it sits and the guy was only asking $400 obo so we offered him $300 and he took it...

Dude, was that the car in Hernando county? I've been trying to get a hold of this guy for weeks with a car for $400 obo on craigslist. Damn it!!!

No, it was on craigslist but it was down in bradenton/sarasota area. I dont know, it might be the same car.

Did you see any pics of the car that you were trying to get???

This one has a dark gray/black primer (actually looked dark blue in pics) coat on it but has a white trunk lid and rear bumber.

wagonis · 11-10-2009, 01:45 PM

The one I saw was primed, but I don't remember seeing a white trunk. Oh well, either way, good score bro.

PHOENIX · 11-10-2009, 03:32 PM

That is an awesome deal!

datguydeni · 11-10-2009, 10:12 PM

that is an awesome deal. engine for a 5sfe should be super cheap too.

CJMR2T · 11-15-2009, 10:52 PM

Went and picked up the $300 beast this afternoon. Here's a couple of pics that she took with my phone after we got it up on the trailer (pushing it up there kinda sucked but we got it on).......

RePete · 11-16-2009, 12:20 AM

Nice snag, the PO didn't know what he had.

Bak@EMSPowered · 11-16-2009, 06:24 AM

Great find!

wagonis · 11-16-2009, 07:48 PM

Damn, that is pretty nice for $300

yeah, especially for the interior being remarkably clean (as is the rest of the car) for having 191,XXX miles on the clock.

Now the salvage yard search is on for a good 5s engine. If I can find a gem like I did with the 1UZ V8 swap in my supra, I'll be estatic....

datguydeni · 11-19-2009, 11:34 AM

i believe someone is selling an engine for 80$ on this forum.
