Not the greatest deal but not bad.
Needs air suspension,the paint is beat,i'm sure it needs quite a bit more but hey at least your happy.
I would have said 500.00 was a good deal.

Other than air bags and paint what does it need? Still a deal when you think about it. Whats the interior like? Miles?

cool score.  how is the interior...  I agree though, I would have paid $500 for it.  Swap in a set of coil springs and rock it...  I always wanted one of those, the closest I have gotten so far is my '96 XR-7

it's got 150k, no oil leaks, runs smooth, leather int. driver seat is cracked but other than that its clean. the only thing wrong is the baggs, and a wicked power steering leak. In my mind its a steel at $750, and has a lot of life left in it.

Nice score.  This makes me think that our wives or SO's could probably create a support group for each other for all these purchases we make.

Nice find, since the interior is pretty nice I'd say it's a good deal at 750.

I'd recommend keeping it on air. You can put that car on 4 new air springs for 400, and air springs are much easier to replace than coils.
