that's just the obvious stuff. Then there's probably suspension bushings, cooling system and vanos maint. that probably needs attention.

no thanks!

Depends on what the issue is and if you DIY.
I'm assuming since it's listed for 6k you can probably bargain it and to say $4.5-5.5k. Smg issue could be as easy as a broken spring or something catastrophic. If I was the buyer I'd bring it in to a shop and assess it there. Too much work wouldn't be worth it.
As for the top you can buy used ones for probably $400-$900 and just install them.
You do all that and resell it for what $16k.
????
Profit

Cool story bro. Now can we please get back to posting good buys? Do away with "Craigslist 10+ year old German buys that will fuck up your wallet" or "Craigslist cool car buys that I wish I could afford". This thread is becoming meaningless.

If we do that the thread will die. Rarely does someone buy a car from this thread anyways

Well my friend bought a blue em1 SiR that was posted here recently.

I find it interesting to see collector cars posted and read discussions about common issues / costs.

My brother in laws truck is for sale. I don't know how competitive the pricing is right now, but it is a great truck in greta shape. Id buy it if it were an auto. I'd also get the brother discount.

I've bought a car from this thread.. almost made it 2 cars, but some other RSer picked it up before me.. so people definitely buy cars from this thread

GS8 11-08-2016 06:43 PM

I had every intent on updating the OP to publish a list of people who purchased cars from this thread (and what they purchased)

But soon after, I didn't log in in as much and stopped paying attention.

:okay:

Considering how many views this thread has, I'm fairly sure there's a ton of random internet lurkers who are using it to find bargains as well.
