I wouldn't give anymore than $5k for it, if it's NOT salvaged. From the looks of the thread, the owner has no idea exactly what the condition of the title is.

I wouldn't bother with this one either. Find a GS400, or a 430. That's a junk car right there. He probably did something to the engine himself, and is blaming the mechanic. Post tons of links for us that you're interested in, or just have questions about. We'll help you find your girl ;]

The car is worth $5k if it's clean. That thing needs some body work and a GTE swap=PERFECT. It would be worth $12-15k then.

$6k is WAY too much. I have seen GS's in running condition with lower miles sell for $8k.

If you figure the body damage, unknown title status (most likely salvage) and mech problems. That thing is worth about $3000.00 on a good day. Its only good for parts with the history and current shape. You fix something like that up and put money into it and you loose big time. Its clear it has not been taken care of and may have many other hidden problems. The car is a trashed out pig inside and the two tires on the left side are half flat. Who drives for two year on a motor with rod knock knowing its there.

Don't all Houston cars have flood damage?

Might be a good platform for a Turbo swap, but still looks like it has too many skeletons.
