user395 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/1015397036.html I talked him down to a little over 1k (don't think I can pay that much for this car). He said his GF had helped him out with it (not a good idea, women do not understand the ways of men). I told him I was looking to spend between 500-800 depending what it came with. If I could part out some parts and make up some moneiZ then, I would pay a lil more. He said had to talk to his GF about it. It does have mega squirt system, he said cost 500 bucks and the rims are in good cond. I know these rimZ would sell for a nice buck. The car is pretty rusty it all the normal areas (hole in spare tire area), I might be able to save a door, one fender and maybe the hood. The interoir is shot big time! I would just be buying it for the drivetrain (to rebuild), rimZ, mega squirt and some few misc. parts for turbo swap. My questions are: How much do you guyZ think I could get for the rims and mega squirt (does anyone want to name a price and clam them)? How much have you guys made parting out a car (I never have done this before)? How much would/have you guys pay for a donor car? Thanks for the help guys, -Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx_drift Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 what parts are you going to take off of it for yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 You cant really ask "How much will I make." Thats really unanswerable. If its all rusted, and has no interior, you dont have much... How does it run? The motor seems like the only good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user395 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 How does it run? The motor seems like the only good thing. It runs ok but, 183k on an auto tranny and a turbo is really high. I'm more or less trying to see what others have paid for their donor cars, to see if this is worth it. I know like only 20ish % of 280zx's were turbo so, it does make them rare. Paying what he is asking so I can spend tons of money to rebuild a motor and rebuild/upgrade the turbo would be hard for me to do. I don't think 1200 bucks for that car is worth it. Do you guys agree? I have been thinking making a firm offer of 700, do you guys think that is reasonable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
