Im about to make you guys very jealous...

[1madSHO]

As it stands now... Im in the closing stages of purchasing a 1997 SHO, 122,000 miles, rebuilt tranny, Mint Interior,new tires...

the price?... $500

the issue is the car was SLIGHTLY hit on the passenger side and only needs a fender, door(the hardest part) and a power steering pump.

The only thing holding me back is the sale of the '91 (cant afford to keep both). And I shall have pics when I get back into town.

Go ahead... cry.

I just picked up a 94 SHO with 119,000 for $200 and I don't have to worry about my cams lol.

 

[1madSHO]

for $500 i can care less about the cams... cant cost too much to have welded if it hasnt happened already.

 

[jmpSHO]

If you want them done right it will cost more than what you paid for it.

If you want them done right it will cost more than what you paid for it.

I dont agree with that, I have know several people who have done multiple cam welds for less than what he paid for the entire car.

 

[St Louis SHO]

I've scrapped nicer cars than most people here drive... Wanna cookie?

 

[jmpSHO]

Maybe if he takes the cams out himself he can get it done for cheaper than $500 but in my experience you get what you pay for.

 

[matasho]

il never be jealous of a Turd-gen (3rd gen) they look like a jellybean. but sounds like a good deal anyways.

 

[1madSHO]

Im worried more about what the car is worth than what I am paying...

Price- $500
Fender, door, and paint- Maybe $500
Cam weld- we'll say $700
Power steering pump- $65

Total Price: $1765
97 SHO Book value: $3465 http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/PricingReport.aspx?WebCategoryId=38&YearId=1997&Mileage=122000&VehicleClass=UsedCar&ManufacturerId=15&ModelId=94&PriceType=Private+Party&VehicleId=7638&SelectionHistory=7638%7c31049%7c32405%7c0%7c0%7c286448%7ctrue%7c286423%7ctrue%7c286483%7ctrue%7c286479%7ctrue%7c286479%7cfalse%7c286475%7ctrue%7c286483%7ctrue&Condition=Good&QuizConditions=
Difference:$1700

Yeah... still think I'm getting a ****-o-va deal.

 

[1993MTXSHO]

meh, don't be such a buzz **** guys, he's excited.

It's a decent deal for sure, but usually bragging about something you got will warrent negitive responses and generally make people hate you.

 

[jmpSHO]

I'm sure the car was worth $500, I might have bought it myself since I'm a big sucker for $500 cars. I was simply pointing out that I got a better deal lol.

 

[1madSHO]

and I was just responding to your response.

 

[Speedie13]

Thats a good deal. Do it up

 

[SHOmethewayhome]

i dont really feel all that jealous. but congratulations anyway

 

[Racer X]

A $500 car is probably going to have $500 car problems.

 

[Brett]

haters.

 

[wuzzzer]

Sheesh, some people on here are more of a buzzkill than Buzz Killington!

"Who likes a story about a book?"

Nice score!

A $500 car is probably going to have $500 car problems.

Not all the time. I bought a 98 Explorer Sport for $500 with about 130,000k on it. It passed inspection after I got a windshield 3 months ago. It now has 144,000k, drove it to Florida and back and so far all I replaced was the IAC and all for shocks (only because I wanted to). It even has ice cold A/C.

If you want to know about what your car is really worth, look at Edmunds.com. kbb is in bed with the dealers, and their numbers are significantly inflated.....

 

[1madSHO]

as far as problems... i mentioned them on the 1st post...It was a dealer trade who doesnt feel like making it sale ready again so he is just getting rid of it as quick and painless as possible.

like I said... pics when I get back b/c by then I'll own it.

Just gotta sell the 91 first.

Nice try guys on the buzzkill. BTW.
