Good Deal?
 
My girlfriend's uncle has a 94 Z28 he's trying to get rid of. I know that the whole front is new, except a crack in the front bumper from where they put it on the dolly. The car needs a new distributor. But, the car has no title. He offered to sell it to me for $1 K....even a little less. I would love to just buy and and take it to the drag strip...it's a big jump from my current car (95 3.8 v6) and the insurance would be killer... Any ideas?

miles?

rickjames343 05-03-2006 09:34 PM

Not sure, my dad and I are going to look at it tomorrow, it's in storage right now.

get it and dont get insurance...

rickjames343 05-03-2006 09:59 PM

Oh noo not with my luck. I've got really bad luck...If you're talking about just racing it maybe, but not if I'm gonna drive it.

Why doesnt it have a title? I wouldnt buy it if it didnt, it could come up stolen then you have nothin to show for it and your out of 1k then.

1k he could part it and make his money back

i completely agree, i wouldnt do it unless i know the person really well and then i still would have to think about it

rickjames343 05-04-2006 06:45 AM

Yea, that's what I was wondering too. It does have all the parts I need for my car though....front end, fenders, hood, dash...hell even the engine and tranny. I dunno i'll let you guys know after I look at it.

rickjames343 05-04-2006 07:41 PM

it had 185 K miles on it, messed up front end...and still no title. he dropped the price to 800 but we're still not sure....we mght get antoehr 72, this ones a RS though for 1200 or 2500 i dont remember...

paarman97maro 05-04-2006 08:42 PM

**** i would take it for 800 if you have the money to spare... I agree with you can make that much back with parts... Or use the body for parts, Id love to have a parts car... You could always experiment on that car first.

2000v6cam 05-04-2006 09:08 PM

yea for 800 i would just use it as a parts car and strip everything off it

rickjames343 05-04-2006 09:17 PM

I'd love to buy it and take the engine and put it in my car....but that would be a lot of work and i don't think i'd use the current tranny (185 K miles) and i doubt my current one would work (a4 in a 3.8 v6)

97z2801ss 05-05-2006 02:28 AM

v6 and v8 have diffrent bolt patterns so it wouldnt, 185k, id have it rebuilt to be on the safe side but it wouldnt be a bad deal bro

archemedes 05-09-2006 01:46 PM

no title and that many miles it's a $500 car at best, the engine will probably need rebuilt, and no title means it was probably a total, and sold as salvage (basically it's a junk yard save)
