Looking at the above with 138k on the clock. One thing I noticed was when I took it out of Overdrive I heard a clunking sound from right rear. Did it several times then there was no noise. Been sitting on dealer lot for 4 months. Offered 6000 and owner said OK. But have not completed the deal

New timing belt at 107 or so. Anything else I should pay particular attention to?

thanks in advance.

 

6 k is much too high IMO

your offer should be closer to $4000.00 give or take a bit.

That clunking sound ? I dont know----best bet is let a mechanic do a pre purchase inspection b4 u buy it.

spend the 50-100 bucks now to know exactly what the car needs.

Pay 6 grand now ---one or two repairs later you could be upwards of 7-8 grand----not worth it for a car of this mileage and year.

 

u offered them a real good price! it better be mint

 

yes like jaw dropping, flawless type mint.

 

Yeah that's high I only paid 4 for mine with 112k on the dash. But it came with goodies tho

 

97 SCfinanced mine for about 6800. Cash price was 5,000. Mint interior and manual. Less than 100,000 miles. this was a year and half ago. Almost done with payments. If you plan on turbo later on the road you can buy really good built cars for a couple thousand more.

Have you looked around much?

 

Just bought my '97 DWP 400 with heated seats, traction control, and Nakamichi with 146k, well maintained, pretty much mint for $4800, no wierd clunks or vibrations....take everyone's advice on here and be patient, the right one will pop up.

 

Really great responses and I AM GOING TO PASS ON IT! Nothing like getting to the right place for advice.

AGAIN THANKS TO ALL WHO RESPONDED
