Hi all! I've actually been a member for almost a year, so I'm not really a new member, but this is my first post outside the For Sale section. Anyway, a situation has come up where I need a car ASAP. I've got two options, really....
Option 1:
1991 GTS, sold by dealer, 71k, loaded, car is in like new/mint condition, new belts, pumps, seals, fluids, etc. Asking $4950, but I bet I can get it for an even $4000).
Option 2:
1995? GT, sold by co-worker/dealer, supposedly 200k, "runs great", exterior is in mint codition, but I haven't seen the interior. Asking $3000, but after telling him that I wouldn't pay more than $1000, he said he would sell it for that. I don't like the fact that there is 200k on the odometer, but I suppose I could drop in a 185, or even a 205 engine, and still be under the $3000 mark.
Yeah, yeah... neither of these are 'Tracs, but A) I figured you guys would have the best advice, and B) I think I've searched for a 'Trac long enough to ask at least one non-AT question.
So... advice? Suggestions?
