Wouldn't touch that car... Wouldn't even stop and look at it. Neglect, ugly rims, just shows the owner didn't give two ***** about the car, and the rest of it probably reflects that. IMO
so...i found a fox...

neglect? dude. the guy died. the rest of the car is clean. hell they spent 900 bucks paying someone to do the water pump..they got ripped but still. the car is lucky to say 100 miles a month. it was a toy. and sits outside..besides having a few scuffs and scratches here and there..its not bad.
ugly rims? they are..the org were stolen way back when. and those were bought..remember..early 90's thing.
everything you say it seems like it it aint as nice as yours then done touch it.
its a very little project. i have a set of stock wheels..thats would solve that. head lights.. open them up wet sand lenes and put em back together..quick fix..remove tips. and a god wax and polish. and it would be decent. i wouldnt buy it to sell it right away. id buy it and enjoy it for a while. and the auto...yes. but some people dont mind an auto..for a cruiser.

Who says it wasnt as nice as mine, your digging for things now kid, thats sad??? Relax a little, you asked for opinions on a car, if you didn't want them, don't make a post asking for them. If your going to take all the reasons "I" wouldnt buy the car, and tell me why I'm wrong, get off the internet, go over to the house and buy it???
Don't ask an opinion based question and then get offended by someones opinion.

no its just a lot of your guys opinions are biased because you don't like verts.
I dont like verts eaither sparky. I gave my opinion that it was a good deal and others seem to think the same. You did ask for opinions and you are getting them. Yes it has issues but all used cars do
You know what needs to be fixed and how to do it. You know better then us how it looks in person. You said it drives well and everything works like new. So whats the hold up?25th never said his was better, and gave an opinion from the pictures you posted. The pics make the car look like crap so just based on them it would give me pause as well.

Alright, when did I ever say I didn't like verts? I dont like Auto cars a lot more than I dont like verts and that didnt sway me at all. I read the description, saw the pics and gave my opinion...
Like I said if my (or anyones) opionion doesnt agree with yours, and your going to get defensive, then why ask for it?
Sorry to say, but there is no way in hell you'll get $3k outta that thing next spring, or even now, even fixed up - more like $2200, at best. You're gonna have like $500 in that thing before spring, anyhow, so your "profit" might only be about $200, tops ... which would make it hardly worth selling, if that's the only reason why you'd be selling it.
Again, if you're gonna buy it, buy it to KEEP it - DO NOT buy this thing to flip it, mark my words, you're just gonna lose a bunch of time and not gain any cash (might even lose some) in the process.
That being said, I don't think the car is a turd, and $1,500 for that thing does sound plenty fair. And hey ... it's black, so that's an automatic plus in my eyes.
If you genuinely like the car enough that you'd be willing to keep it for a few years, go for it; if you're only looking at this as some kind of an investment opportunity, PLEASE, save yourself the frustration and expense and look for a notch or a hatch, instead. Again, I've been through enough cars in my time to be able to tell you this from experience. DON'T BE A DAVE!

2,200 at most? dude..look at what fox verts are going for in the ohio area in good condition!
Ryan,
If you want to buy that car as a project car, then go buy it as long as it checks out mechanically and structurally.
If you are buying it with the intentions of flipping it, i would say not too. you could probably buy $1500 in stocks and make a bigger profit in the same time span they you would after cleaning that up. Think of your personal time as well and factor that into it. If you make $500 profit, you can count your hours into it and divide by the profit and come out making $5/hour or so. You could make more money working at mcdonalds for 3 weeks that going through the trouble of buying this car, fixing a few things and trying to turn a dime.
Like i said, if you want a project 5.0 then go for it.
I say let it go and go get a PI GT.

its not a project? it needs wheels..but thats a personal want becasue there ugly..and tips on it..then its good to go? seriously..look at it.. i know for a fact i could sell this for more then 1,500..much more then 2,200. after putting some decent stock wheels on it.
tips will be taken off!
how much of a project does that really look like? not much at all!
and..i bought it.

An LX catback (or just SLP style tips), rims, lights, and, a good wax job and that thing is set. Get those ponys off the fenders if you can; got any int. pics?
