Just called the owner and he said that he wants to sell the car more as "for parts" because he hadn't had it running.
According to him he bought the car as-is and cracked the steering lock to get it on a truck.
This smells so much like a stolen car, but would he be selling it like that, so publicly with the license plates visible, on one of the most popular car sale sites in my country if it was stolen ?
And he says the paperwork is there, too.
It's probably also gonna be a world of pain under that hood but even knowing that I'm itching to get my hands on that car because I love fixing stuff.
Especially the stuff that goes "vroom".
Sometimes I have a hard time telling the difference between my enthusiasm and stupidity.
But I digress, I need to go and see what what goes on these cars as well as part availability in case I need any.
And so far I know that these cars are mechanically sound, except for the automatic transmission but the one I'm looking at is a manual.
Anyways, maybe you guys know what is most common to go mechanically on these cars because so far to me this looks like a fun summertime project.
Oh and i never said the price other than it's cheap, well it's 265€ in case any of you were interested to know and it's still all in one piece.
