  • Reckon?

    http://collegestation.craigslist.org...507401579.html

    I'd like to buy this car and fix it up to maybe have as a gift car or to sell it for a profit. What do you think? It's the 3.4L with 120k on the clock.

    3.8s don't even sell for much more than that now... I don't know how much profit you could make off of a 3.4. If it does run well, its not a bad deal.

          Yeah, just an idea. Went to go look at blue book, and an "excellent" condition is worth wee bit over 2k.
          If anything, probably just fix it up for one of my brothers to have.

            I bought my car 3 years ago with 150 K (Km's) for 5,500...and I got a good deal....there are/were some selling for 8-9g's with similar milage/condition.

            But here I'll pull up a couple links for ya just to prove a point...

            Since there isn't any 3.4's really up for sale at the moment, I can't really prove that aspect of things...but I'll throw a few out there anyways...

              Those are some exorbitant prices right there.
              Too bad it's only the 3.4l, if it was the 3.8l I'd be all over it.

                there was a 3.4 on there with 82k going for 9 grand....but the thing is, is people wont travel to texas to get the car...if you were closer to the border, I would say go for it and flip it over here...you would definetly make money...

                  the OP is in Texas. How likely is he going to deal with a buyer in Canada, or try to sell the car in Canada?

                    Re: Reckon?

                    thats why I said what I said above your post...hes not likely to...but I said if he ever moves close to the border, or if someone close to the border wants to do this, I gurantee they would make some money... I can't help that he lives in texas...I'm sayin what cars sell for here...maybe he has a relative near the border who can deal it for him... all that matters is a 14+ year old v6 car with 100K + sells for twice the money over here... :P

                      And you know F-bodies are not going down anymore in my area. They are actually going up both V6 and V8.

                        Really? Maybe if I can get the price down a little, I'll just take it.

                          same here...I dont think they are really gunna drop in price any more then what they are at in there respective areas to be honest...I mean, unless the condition of the car changes, like you totally neglect it...if its in good condition still 5-6 years from now, I think it will more or less sell for the same...
