How much for this ta

Its a 1990, you can tell its been in a wreak, pretty bad one to,(body panels and hood are terribley lined up, bumper cover has a a big chunk takened out. I believe it has 145,000 miles Its been painted(crappyly done). I lookin for beater to go back and forth to work and they guy doesnt say how much he wants for it. So how much is it worth? How much would you pay? thanks for your replys.

If he wants you to make the offer, I'd throw out maybe couple hundred at him. see how he reacts. It sounds alright for a beater to get you from point a to b. I had an 90 escort for awhile, (yea I know its just an escort) but it got hit on the side, totally rusted up, ran fine though and got me around. I sold it to a buddy for 100. So maybe u can get it for like 200-300. Who knows?

How it run/drive? Does it need any work, brakes, tires etc? Does it have t-tops do they leak? What kind of motor is in it? What it worth really depends, it could be worth $500 because of the motor.

its a 305 v8 it seems to run good burns a little oil buts thats no big deal cause I bought a 305 for 5 dollars(rebuilt) last month. thats not a type o either five bucks. I havent test drove it yet. I lookin at a 88 camaro rs that seems to be in okay shape he wants 1200.00. Its just hard to find a cheapy camaro or firebird for some reason in texas people are proud of there cars and think they are worth thousands but blue book say different.

save your money and keep searching. i'd aim for a 350 car myself. and yes those texans are proud i've seen some crazy high pricing on some cars that arn't worth a quarter of what they were asking. 3rd gens are a dime a dozen up here. most have rot problems though. keep looking man, the right one will come
