how much is he asking? how bad is the rust? those are the two questions i have right away. Tally up the price to replace all that stuff, add that to whatever he is asking and see if that seems worth it, to you.

Sounds pretty decent for 1300. and I'm guessing you are a kid from NJ who is 16? you'll have fun in it.

i am from New Jersey and 18 years young.(my lucky number is 16). I am looking for a little toy to bring back to school. i have all summer to work on it. i have a DD (2000 Mazda protege) to beat around in so i dont got to worry about rushing things to get it back on the road.

oh ok for 1300 or less yeah thats not a bad deal.. but the drivers side looks like it might have been in an accident. primed except the door seems kinda sketchy to me. again, for 1300 though not bad at all
