apparently it burns a noticeable amount of oil, went up to see it with a friend who knows cars way more than me and we talked her down to giving it up for $2300

the bad is, theres an obvious coolant leak, one of the headlights seems to have some shady wiring, the inside hatch panel is missing, the shifter is wobbly while in gear, inside armrests missing, also i think i found a dead cockroach inside O_O

i think its looking good, now i just gotta wait for my insurance to come through WITH THE DAMN CHECK ALREADY.

im hoping no one else snatches it up before i do

thoughts?

Honestly, I would say hold out for another car like it or for an EX. I'm thinking that in buying this one, its just going to give you unnecessary frustrations and headaches.

 

Your buying a big problem it sounds like to me. For $2300 there are several cars out there.
I agree PASS on this one.

 

yeah sounds like a pain, if it needed body work no biggie but leaks are difficult most of the time

 

the part about it burning oil should scare you. unless you have another engine lined up, but then I would say that you shouldn't be paying $2300 for it...

 

exactly, my car needed body work, not internal work, if your burning oil it may be the head gasket and thats lots of work and money

 

if he's burning oil, i doubt its the head gasket. its probably the rings, which are WAY worse than just a bad head gasket, lol

 

And here I thought I was geting over! How much would it cost if it was ahead gasket or ring? Any chance this stuff is diy because my friend is pretty good with cars...

 

Also I re-read the description, apparently its said it burns a little oil and isn't very notceable when using lucas brand oil

 

alot of moolah, head gasket is a huge job
