Man for $5500 bucks you cant shake a stick at that deal. I would be on that like white on rice. Even a rebuild replacing everypart it's still a deal.
I would bet that the engine parts are probably in good shape you would just need the seals and the gaskets.
Get pics if you go see it.

Yeah, I just need to check with everything to make sure I got this all covered... and make sure I can handle the financial slowdown it will bring... Wish I had a rich girlfriend..

also run a carfax on the VIN, if it's been in accidents it would up your insurance, which is another thing you might want to look into before buying the car.
And yea a reman can be had relatively cheaply, you'd prolly wind up spending under $8k for it and have a good running car, and $8k for an FD is a steal! (yes i know youd buy it for $5.5k but i added in possible work and a new engine)

Yeah I got the whole 8K thing.. Thats exactly what I was thinking.. I will be keeping in touch with my buddy at the shop cuz it's his friend selling it.. once I go check it out and I see the engine parts and get the vin, I will post up and see who has a carfax account.. I guess Now I just have to wait for my $$$ and some free time to go see that sucker..
Thanx alot guys.. hopefully it is worthy of buying...

next to vin just plug in the appropriate vin, hopefully that account still works

OK, I am now looking for a place to give me a loan, I have a few credit cards, and all are run up, so I wanna get a loan to pay them off, and maybe add a couple extra grand in there for the engine..? what do you guys think?
