How longs a piece of string?

What condition? I got mine in pretty bad shape (in need of total going over) for $1200, But a decent driver, anywhere from 3500-10,000 Depending on how good it is!

This question comes up time & time again.
The answer remains the same.

It's worth whatever your prepared to pay, regarless of what model or condition.

Some are genuine bargains, others see you coming.

One constant is: a car sitting in a shed or a paddock is worth f#ckall unless someone wants it.......:cool:

If it has been sitting for 5 years, It is going to need quite a bit of work, and you will have to take into consideration what it will cost to get it roadworthy.
Rats can get stuck into the wiring, brake wheel cylinders can seize, and lines can corrode, from the contaminated fluid, engine internals can suffer if the proper precautions were not carried out, ECT ECT.
I dont want to discourage you from buying it and restoring it, but make sure you assess the complete condition of the car and the estimated work and cost to get it back on the road, and use this to base the purchase cost.
It is very easy to pay too much for the car AS IS and after the resto is completed, it has cost more than the car is worth, if it is a keeper it is not so bad, but if it was ment as a money earner, it is a failure.
