i will probably be selling the car. i would just like to know how much you guys think you would pay for it if you were gonna buy it. its an 89 vert red with black. automatic. all stock except for the ebay intake, i still have the original intake system also. it would have a freshly rebuilt transmission and the engine only has about 15000 miles. only one small accident, i was going about 5 and rearended someone. there was not much damage, and i have pics of the damage if needed. its all fixed though. i had the work done by a liscensed mercedes shop so they do quality work. it has a lifetime warranty on the work and paint. the tires are new. the starter was just rebuilt. it needs a new console, steering surround, ds window switch. it also needs a wheel cap on the stock bbs wheels. i think i would fix all of these things before i sold it. it is in overall great condition and i am only the second owner. my aunt and uncle were the firsts, and they took great care of it and were the ones who put in 2 new engines bc the mazda people told them they needed to, so that says they would spend whatever on the car. i have pics if you want them, i think most people have already seen them. thanks guys for all the help. if any of you would be interested i am looking for maybe a bmw 3 series, a gmc sonoma, a porsche 944, or maybe somehting else for around $6000 probably no hondas though

i know im just kind of tired of messing with it. get something with 4 doors or at least 4 seats and better gas mileage. i might change my mind when i get it back and its running right. ive been looking at cadillac cateras. those things are nice, anyone got any opinions??

have you seen one from the rear? Not pretty. I dont even think Caddy makes the
car anymore, so if thats the case I wouldnt get one, good luck getting parts for
that thing, they suck for parts.

i like them from the rear, it wouldnt be a fixer upprr like a 7 so i would be needing parts very often. they do still make the car, its the CTS, catera touring sedan. i would say keep the vert too if i wasnt in college, if i was working more than 20 hours a week, and if i made more than 6.50 an hour.

well said travis, well said. hey check out the cateras, there are a few in dallas on auto trader for good prices with low miles. they have a 200 hp 3L v6 with rear wheel drive, and i dont know about you but i think they look great. we could be car twins once again.
