ABS is probably busted up (can be expensive)

Paint job isn't exactly cheap

price isn't horrible i suppose

I just got my 95 Sedan painted for just about $300. They matched the OEM paint code. didn't paint the cracks, but still looks amazing.

Try to find a Maaco autobody shop around u, there not bad at all

 

Maaco = HORRIBLE

unless you do absolutely ALL the prep work yourself, its a get what you pay for

See if the ABS even works (get up to about 20 and SLAM on the brakes) SRS light would come on if seatbelts were f'd

 

well what do you plan on doing with the car? if its just going to be your dd check the abs and get it detailed good to go

 

also keep in mind there is very little to no aftermarket performance parts.

 

thats why you swap in an H series Boyyyyyyyyy

 

Not a bad price for what's you're getting. If it's a daily driver to get you to work & back, who cares what it looks like. If you want it painted: Good news - Macco is relatively cheap...bad news - Macco is relatively cheap. In other words, you get what you pay for. Mileage isn't too high for that year. Ask the seller if timing belt and water pump have been replaced and if so when it was. Also, see if buyer can provide maintenance records. Good luck!

 

I would say jump on it, i think its a pretty good price for a 97'. I payed 5k for my 95'...dealer price...but its still a damn good car.
By the way, is it an auto or manual tranny?
