Are either of these a good enough deal to snag?

Ok, ive been planning on buying one parts/fixer-upper at a time and either parting them out or fixing and selling them to make a little extra cash. I have the property to do it now so ive begun a search. Ive found a few deals and i would like an opinion. Not saying im going to run out and grab these, but i might. Anybody that has done this, or is doing it now if you could give me some opinions as well. Thanks.

First. 95 CRX for 200 bucks.. http://houston.craigslist.org/car/473551339.html

Second, 86 jag for 850 http://houston.craigslist.org/car/473499727.html

last.. 84 jeep... http://houston.craigslist.org/car/473630627.html

Well any of them would be strictly parted out unless i was able to fix them and get them running and whether or not it would be worth it. The CRX seems like it would be easier to get rid of since there are so many of them, but the jag would probably get me more $$ in the long run and could possibly be fixed, i believe thats the years that used the 350 chevy engine so it would cheap to fix.

The jeep looks like its in good shape, and if i found a motor cheap it would be an easy fix as well. So im at a loss....

ya, and should be fairly easy to part as well..

Also, how hard would it be to get a title on a car that doesnt have one? Like the jag..

if the crx runs get it, its 200 bux and you fix it up

it will be a bad *** car if you do some work to it

Jeep parted should be easy money IMO.

of those three I would definitly go for the jeep, snag a junkyard motor and swap it in there, worst case you rebuild it yourself for maybe $200 in parts and at most $100 in machine work sell for $1500 at the very least I would hope depending on overall condition.

I have heard nothing but nightmares of the electrical on the older jags and wouldn't really forsee turning a profit if it needed work or parts, and besides how many people looking to spend $2,000 to $3,000 for a car are going to be willing to purchase something that would be soo high maintenance.

CRX - not a fan of body work, engine is fairly easy but body takes time and skill and patience and then after all that it needs to get painted just right

I think the jeep would be worth at least $200 more than the CRX when fixed and cost less to fix overall

Ya jeeps are always in demand...

Just got off the phone, i think i can grab it for around 350. He said he was told the engine was locked up, and that when you try and start it, it just clicks. He does have the title though. And it has the 2.8L V6?? Not very familiar with jeeps but thats what he said. Probably a cheap engine at the junkyard.. Says there is one dent on drivers side and the driver seat is torn. Otherwise looks like a good deal...
