I'd think that's too much given the condition it's in. If he replaces the engine, and the car is in excellent shape inside and out, then $4500 may be about right.As it is now though, no way...that's too much. What's the condition of the rest of the car? ------------------

he SAYS (I haven't seen the car)....that it's a 60K original mile car....and, again, he SAYS it's immaculate inside and out....(you know how that goes *lol*)...but he says he has every stitch of paperwork since the car was bought new......
still....it's a 4 banger.......

Actually, if it's the 2.8, it's a V6. The 4 cylinder was 2.3.Either way, it's no V8, and no Cobra. Heh. I bought my '77 V6 Ghia back in '94 for $1000. The interior was truly immaculate (the only part of the car that's NEVER needed work), the body was decent...had some nicks here and there, eventually got a paint job...but the drivetrain was slightly problematic (dead cylinder; engine ultimately was replaced...eventually the transmission went up, but after I had had it for 5 years). ------------------
