One thing that I've always found suspicious is when people dump money into a car and claim that they are running strong but for whatever reason they want to sell it. If you're somewhat mechanically inclined your best bet is to go look at it in person but I personally wouldn't waste my time until he has the pink slip in hand.

and receipts! i laugh at people that tell me they do piss tons of work and never keep receipts or take pictures. i document everything.

look for rust. 240s are pretty simple though, esp stock ones.

SLMDs13 · 10-13-2011, 04:06 PM

is that a good price for it though?

I'd offer $2000-$2500, but check out the car first.
