Rep Power: 1088

Hey guys, well I talked with my parents about getting a winter car, because I was debating about it for a little bit, specifically this car:

1988 Dodge Daytona Pacifica 2.2 Shelby Turbo Z Engine
Its an auto with 150k miles, and no rust.
The engine was rebuilt with new hydraulic lifters, new gaskets, and headbolts. It has a new battery, tank heater, new brakes all around, new rear shocks, and a fresh tune up.

Hes been asking $800 for it. Just wondering what everyone thinks about it. What are the ups/downs of it, and is there anything specific I should call and ask him. Thanks guys

under a grand and runs it's ok, a turbo engine can be a headache with high millage, but for a beater you should be ok

If it runs well I'd probably buy it, but like Arch said with it being a turbo I'd just really keep up on all the mantiance.

it's not really the turbo, it's just forced induction is harder on parts is all

They selt the roads up soo much here. I would want a beater winter car also if I didn't want my maro turning into a rust bucket.

if you wash the car regularly it won't matter (if the roads are clear there is no salt on them) the rust is actually from al;l the dirt that gets left on the car all witer

Exactly, you can't afford to take your car through a $4 car wash because it's to much money so you buy a new car. I understand

it cost me 3 bucks to wash my car at a car wash (you don't go to a full detail shop just a hose it place)
