Looks like with a weekend of detailing you could make $5-10k on that!!

I just test drove that car. Needs tons of body work, the entire interior is shot, a/c doesn’t work at all, seats are totally gone (backs are held on with drywall screws), door cards need replacing (duct tape holding one of the arm rests on), lots of engine bay components need replacing.

Car says 202,065 miles but the odometer doesn’t run and the carfax says odometer was at 202,065 in 2007 (!!!) rough.

The motor ran decent and the suspension feels decent. He said the clutch was new.

Overall it’s a fixer and needs a good 20-25k of attention.

Hardest part for me was the missing vehicle history and the missing mikes from 2007 to 2023… car might have 300k miles!

I’m not sure the difference between 202k and 300kmi is worth worrying about. Sounds like it needs a full restoration ( or re-build) and once that is done the quality and extent of the work is going to set the value of the car. Do a good enough job and you wind up with basically a new car and it starts all over again.

The rebuild parts list: 1OE ( one of everything) + labor$$$$$
