Depends, if your car was in mint shape and low mileage then no. If it was a total junker and it had to be towed to your house then yes. Look at it this way, that car in the classifieds probably had 200K mi on it, and the tranny was bad, and the coolant seals were dying on the engine, and... uhhhh, someone died in the car. That's why its so cheap

I ghot my Repu for free, it was runnin but not with a rotary engine.. since then, I have spent around $1500, and still need another $1000 just to get it runnin..



Like someone else said.. Just cuz it is advertised cheap and looks neat does not mean it runs good..

I paid $600 for my GXL 2+2, runs good, but I need to fix all the window and sunroof tracks and maybe motors, need to get speedo fixed, little (ok, alot) bodywork, paintjob and it'll be Great.



My first GXL I had, I bought from a dealership for about $1850 and in the 4 months I've owned it, new clutch, exhaust, an then engine blew and I said to hell with it. couldn't aford new motor.

$3000 for my s4 TII, which included 17" rims, s5 tail lights, full exhaust, and removed air pump and ACV....oh yeah, and a blown engine.



then spend $5500 on new engine from my mechanic, and $3000 for suspension, brake, and interior upgrades.



am i wasting money? nope, because my ride is tight and "the ladies love my ride cuz they can see they reflection".
