Deal or no deal??

sk8world · 03-10-2008, 11:27 PM

I found a silver 93 5spd, base model. 101k miles. All stock. 80yr old lady is selling it. I know for 100% she has had it for the last 14yrs. It has a remain in it for the last 25k. Exterior is 9 out of 10. Had both sides in small wreck. the interior is worn. It would need new seats or have them recovered. The steering wheels is worn as the plastics inside are peeling. Asking 10.9 I could probaly get it fo 9500. Paint is fine.. What do you think?

Pics? They mean a 1000 words.

sk8world · 03-10-2008, 11:47 PM

no pics. but its just what you would picture, a base silver fd..

85rx-7gsl-se · 03-10-2008, 11:51 PM

I mean, it doesn't seem bad and the miles are decent, but why would the interior be so worn...I mean if only the little old lady was driving it. Was it gararged?

old ladies have needs too, and sometimes the car is most convenient. the bins must have been uncomfortable

not really sure on the interior. I remember back 8-10 years ago seeing her (she was grey haired even then) and I asked if she wanted to sell it. She said never! I guess she is finally just too old for it..

85rx-7gsl-se · 03-11-2008, 12:12 AM

Yeah, I am kinda surspised that she kept it so long, quite a trooper.

what the heck is an 80 year old lady doing with an FD????

yes, Im jelous

***Herblenny*** · 03-11-2008, 09:55 AM

Buy it!! If not, let me know

My concern is the seats.. For base seats to be worn like that, that means she's doing quite a bit of short distance driving..

The car is worth about $12900.00 with the current market if you fix the seats. My biggest concern would be the engine, if it is stock you might as well assume a rebuild within the next 10k miles so add that to the budget. It is a good deal if you are looking for a car to keep.

85rx-7gsl-se · 03-11-2008, 10:21 AM

^ It has 25k on a reman.

bop_rocco · 03-11-2008, 10:35 AM
