Whats it worth?

I found a '91 Q for sale. I'm new to the Q continuum, so I'm looking for opinions on the price before I trek over to the guys house. Specs are: '91, Green/tan, one owner, full service history, new tires and all 4 rotors & pads. It's got 207k, currently running but timing chain guides are making noise. I haven't seen it yet, but the owner says it has always been garaged and pampered. He wants $900. I've got the time, tools, and space to do the guides, so I'm just looking at parts costs. Any thoughts? Thanks

Rule of thumb if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Everyone is out to make the most money possible on whatever it is that they are selling. The only exception to the rule is the old lady that has no family to tell her otherwise.

If it runs good, with minimal problems, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat.Give the man $900 and have it towed to my place.(But thats me. I love these cars )

If you're a DIY kinda person, I say go for it.

Sorry, but you're wrong.I've sold many an item for shipping alone that I could have made a profit off of and given away at least twice as many locally.And I'm far from being old or a lady.

I agree. I am toying with the idea of giving away Layla early next year. She would make a sweetheart deal for somebody wanting to get int a Q, or wanting to move up to a 1994. I just can't justify putting another $3k in her (Tires, knock sensors, under plenum hoses, transmission). She runs fine, and still pulls all the way to 130. She still spins the tires, and shifts right about 6600 RPM at WOT. She is worth about $900 since the body is near perfect and the interior still looks great. The driver seat has some wear on the real bolster, but no tears. At 237K, I am very happy with her. I just hat having Lola sitting at home paitiently waitiing to be put in faithful service...

Id pick it up as well.. You could at least make $900 or more in parting it out assuming that the body is fairly straight.....

If you decide to sell Layla let me know.NAraku needs a younger sibling

Well in that case there are very few people like us left in the world, anlasak. I too, give away most of everything that I am not using. But you still can not deny the fact that that 99% of everyone tries to make as much money off of a sale as possible.

If you're still feeling this generous when early next year finally rolls around, I'm quite prepared to grovel.

Maybe NICO would let me do an auction a raffle, with 50% of the proceeds going to the forum.
