great deals are yet to come, hold out... end of summer or spring is best time
Remember if you shoot for less, you will get less of a car and have more money and work to do, you really have to decide on what your budget is and what you are willing to spend for additional parts and back up parts, and then break down parts...
I purchased Hardtop 87 GN with 88k miles... need brakes, paint, exhaust front and back bumper fillers, ac/defrost heater work...
car $6,000
parts $6,000 plus extra nos new parts
plus labor and time, it is supposed to be fun project and I am used to driving perfect cars, so are you prepared for less than perfect... one mans daily driver is another mans junk and not meant to be driven any day safely even if it is project work on as you go...
12,500 is good deal, but owner may not be ready to part, hold onto your cash and shop so then when you buy you know you got the sweeeeetest deal ever... one owner let his 15k mile GN sell for under $20k, but has GNX with 149 miles he wants to sell... thinking $115K
I did not plan on spending 12k on car and extra parts, but still need to stick $5k into and have parts as nos new for 10 years from now...
