I see it posted in the autotrader and it says some water damage with engine noise, but runs, just wondering what you guys think, not sure how much damage it has, if i have to put a new engine in there it may not be worth the effort. Its out of my state so i can't just go look at it, since its 2000 miles away

For $11k, I wouldn't buy it. If you could talk them down to $9.5k or so...then I'd think about it. IMO, I just wouldn't pay (too much) for a decent chance at having problems. And that looks like pooter metallic, not silver.

If would consider this one a pretty good deal...if you're willing to spend $11k on the 1st T/A and then another few grand on a motor, why not just look for something like this one.

 

ya I was thinking about that one, it does have I think he said 89,000 miles on her. But still I guess not bad considering its a 01, and maybe I could talk him down. Its such a pain looking for a car -*I absolutely hate it! My insurance adjuster told me it should only take me a few days to find a replacement--I don't know who he's kiding. I think more of a complaint on his part since I need them to provide the rental car.

 

N/M then, I'd pass on that one too (IMO). That's A LOT of miles.

I did see some other good deals on there though, keep looking and you'll find the right one.

 

water damage + engine noise = rebuild time


if you buy that car make sure you buy it knowing your not going to drive it much till you rebuild the engine...
