Well I am looking for a 5 speed super coupe and low-and-behold I find one for a listed price of 1600. I call the guy up and he said the car has high miles but runs awsome but a brake problem started as soon as he was going to sell it, but now he will sell for only 1000!
I went and saw the car today and the body and interior is in great shape, minus the dirvers seat which had some rips and tears, but it had matching seat covers so thats no biggie. The tires were almost new, with 85% tread left and the wheels were refurbished and looked great. Before I started it I looked in the colant and didnt see any rust, and the oil looked new and didnt have any shinny metal objects in it. The car looks like it didnt leak any oil from the valve covers or anywhere else. The car started and ran awsome, The guy said he let it sit there for two weeks and it didnt look like it leaked anything. It also didnt smoke at all, I reved it up a couple times but didnt see any smoke. The guy also said that it passed Emission checking 6 months ago and at that time he installed new rotors and brake pads on the front, and pads on the back.
Well the only problem with the car is the ABS light is on, and the brake pedal is hard, which I guess is a fualty master cylinder? I have not done a search but I saw two threads at the top with ABS info so Im going to start there, but my question is, would this car be a good buy, and then fix up the brakes? If I do buy it, how much would it cost to get the brakes fixed? Im going to do a search now for any and all info but I felt it was good to go ahead and post to see if someone thinks this is a good buy or to stay the hell way!
