Opinions on buying this 3000gt

[rage941]

Hi I'm looking at a 1995 green 3000gt na 5spd with 109,000 miles. It doesn't have leather, but has the chrome/polished stock wheels. It has a few imperfections on the exterior. There is a spot where the paint is peeling about the size of a baseball. The right sideskirt has a scuff/dent on it about 4 inches long and an inch tall. Lastly there are two scuffs on the back. The interior is missing the whole radio area and a trim piece on the passenger side that goes around the locks or door handle, I forget which. I haven't test driven it yet or looked at the engine so I don't know how it is mechanically; if it's is in good running condition, what do you guys think about this deal?
The guy wants $3500 for it.

I will test drive it and get pics soon.

Well obviously check carfax, then if all goes well get a record of services like 120k cuz thats due up soon for you so if your lucky (don't count on it) it was done recently. Account money for that so knock the price down a bit. Honestly the resale value for these cars are so bad I would spend a little more money and get a nice NA from a board member, better taken care of and less of a headache (in some cases). I know I spent $2500 for my 94 SL with chrome rims, combat wing, and 96k miles, replaced tranny, and very good condition. So I would say go a little lower on that deal. Pics are always helpful, to give us a better idea. Good luck

Thanks. Yeah I was thinking about the 120k, that's why I was asking if price was good.

I'll try to get some pics.

Agreed on the 120k, if it hasn't been done you might as well take the asking price and add on 1000$+ as you will be having to pay/do it in a year or so.

Just something to think about. Good luck with your decision.
