Question Please Help

Hello All;

Do you think this price is worth it?

http://clients.automanager.com/01560...a/default.html

They say it comes with limited Warranty!

Please reply with your thoughts.

Thanks

Ben

10k? Buy. (Maybe, but investigate it fully first)
$16K?
Keep looking.

If you want a 500, find an enthusiast LOVED one. NOT a dealer prepped one. Mileage not so important, if it is freshly/continually maintained. But find one that has been loved, it will be worth the wait.

^^This.


If you can absolutely ascertain its provenance at that price, then sure. By that I mean all the service history and perhaps even a chat with previous owners or mechanics who worked on it.


I've seen dealers dress up turds, so ignore the shiny fancy pictures...
