Someone buy this immaculate Turbo Coupe

I wish I could fork up the money for this car but being the broke college kid that I am makes me incapable.

40k miles, 5 speed, garage kept and 1 owner.  After driving it, the car seems flawless.  Straight body and great paint!

It's located in Sylva, North Carolina.  $7500 is the asking price, but he is very flexible.

Gorgeous ... that nice, I could almost live with the porno red interior!

Have any similar cars sold recently?  Curious as to what the seller might actually get for it.

Looks like my first TC, but it had 3x that mileage when I sold it...

I'm curious to see how much he will get out of it.  It's truly mint.  I almost want to take out a loan for it.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I wouldn't. A loan for something like a brand new car for a daily driver is one thing. Never put yourself in debt for a toy :)

Here's an example to compare by. This is local to me, note the car is in KMS.. And with the current exchange rate, that's even less in USD

Wow, those seats look brand new. I wonder what happened to the snow flakes.

I disagree. That car will never get $4,000.

Ironically enough, my dad is a potential (almost 100%) buyer of this car.  My dad offered the owner $5k and he said come get it.  Hoping this goes through and this beautiful car stays in my family.

Wow, for a coastal state car that thing is beautiful. No rust, looks perfect...though no engine pictures. But I imagine you could eat off it.

I bet Dad is a happy guy now...makem feel like a kid again. ::D

Unless you live within a 1/2 mi of coast rust isn't a problem(and Gastonia is like 300-350 mi inland)... If fact can be good as the water generally keeps temps above freezing... I'm like 20 mi inland and rust isn't a issue...
