Scottster Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 There is this GP not far from me, roughly 91-93 SE, with a manual trans. I've seen the car drving around town occasionaly, and it sounds pretty bad...what's left of the (dual) exhaust makes the thing sound like a raspy old bomb. Not to mention the rusted out quarter panels. The car is generaly clean though, and an everyday car for this dude. The point is I want to offer him some cash for the thing, just to get my hands on the powertrain...and maybe next summer bolt up the 282 into mine. KBB.com says about $400 for a 93 SE, but I was thinking of lowballing him at 2 or 3 hundred bucks. What do you guys think? Quote
BXX Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 Rusted out quarters???? It's worth by the book about $100-$200.. However millions of people firmly believe any good running car is worth $500... I believe that as well.. Offer him $300 and go from there. Or better, ask him if he is willing to sell it and how much.

5speedz34 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 Well they stopped offering a manual trans in the 3.1 in *I think* 91. I want to say 91+ the only manual was offered in a 3.4. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 88-90 GP's were available with the 2.8 /3.1 282 combo. 91-93 GP's were available with the 3.4 284 combo. Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 I think Jeremy used to have a '91 STE with 3.1/5 speed. Quote
White93z34 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 I think Jeremy used to have a '91 STE with 3.1/5 speed. It was a 1990. Quote
5speedz34 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 Aren't we happy Jeremy got rid of that? Quote
Chancho Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 rustic style, with a little bit of frame unreliability to go with it Quote
Addicted to eaton Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 RUN get him drunk first and then take advantiage of him Quote
joey b Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 Fat chance. Doesn't sound like the dude is rolling in enough money to upgrade. Hell, even the crappiest stealership would give him a couple hundred if he was in the financial condition to buy a new car. I know that I would never get rid of a running daily driver, regardless of condition for a couple hundred. What would he be able to do with a couple hundred? Hell, any car that costs as little as 1000 is likely to have a large number of problems and unreliabilities. Quote

I thought you could get the 282 up until 1993 with a 3.1, no? Quote
boulevard Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 $300 sounds fair to me. It looks pretty bad, besides, you only want the powertrain, right?! Quote
Psych0matt Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 just for the record, the pic is not the car he's wanting to buy, thats jeremy's old car Quote
boulevard Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 Well in a way my comment still applies. Quote
Psych0matt Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 Well in a way my comment still applies. no it's fine, I just didn't want everyone to start telling him things based on that picture, since it's not the same. It might be just as bad or worse, but still Quote
Bake82 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 Scott, Like mentioned above....if the guy is driving it daily, I'm sure he'd rather have the car than a couple hundred bucks...but if he's looking to get rid of it, I mean 2-500 sounds reasonable....but I wouldn't be surprised if he says no Quote
Brian P Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 if it's not for sale, then leave him alone Quote
Psych0matt Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 if it's not for sale, then leave him alone yeah, leave the poor bastard alone! Quote

Guest alpahgtp Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 I think that he might not have enough money to buy another/better car in the first place, if you offer him 500 for his daily driver he would laugh !! Quote

Point taken! lol I'm really not ready to do the work in the first place...maybe in the spring when school is done, I guess I'll go from there. Quote
