Buy something that isnt already restored and do it yourself. If you are into that.

And I couldnt imagine payign 22k for that lincoln. Shit.

i guess low miles, 18'' chrome rims and probably a system? it looked like it had been previously owned by a 'thug'
and those were the two that really stood out to me also

i was also told by my mechanic "those prices are negotiable, you could talk him down 1 or 2 grand on every car out in the lot, but you didn't hear that from me"

not worth more than 2500 in cherry cond.

though that is something i want to to at some point, i don't really have the time or space to do it right now. moved back in with my parents to save money, and when i move out with my girlfriend in a couple months, we're getting an apartment until my credit is good enough to get a mortgage at a decent rate. no way my parents would let me buy a car and just let it sit out in front of the house until i get it going.

in the next couple years though that's something i really want to do.

maybe the guy that bought the lincoln bought it for sentimental value? i don't know.

I mean get something that runs, but maybe the interior and exterior is ****ed up or something. Use it while you fix it.

Uh, why haven't you jumped on the Grand National that Deaf Tones posted for 8500? That is what I would get if I had the dough. Why dont you lend me the money and I will pick that up for you and drive it for the first year and get all the bugs worked out. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

doesn't even have the GN motor in it... some jasper pos...

a grand national without the 3.8l turbo is worthless...

I'd pick up the Cutty. The price is a bit on the high side but if you have cash in hand you can negotiate. With 43K miles it is a waay better deal than the above posted GN. I feel that 120K and turbo can become a huge burden on your wallet once things go wrong. THe Cutlass is a very desired "old school" ride today, hence the higher than usual price.

Why are you looking at a bunch of gas hogging boats for a daily driver??

 

[docutech 10+ year member]

Good luck finding one for that. Better yet twice that in cherry condition! LOL:laugh:
