So, i can pick this car up for $500 I am looking to have a little project and maybe turn a profit. Or at least break even. What do you guys think? Worth $500?

wes65

Oh, the car will come with new fenders.

I guess that's not the original engine. She says it needs a harness to run but, it looks like a 1.6 motor in a 1.6 body, i wouldnt think it would need a new harness.

If you want to do it for fun, go ahead, but I think as a money maker, when you have it finished, you may break even.

Definitely not, EN OH

Most projects cost you money so if i can come close to breaking even on it, i would be happy.

there's about $500+ worth of stuff to sell if it doesn't work out for you

gotta love the paint job on the engine, top notch stuff right there....

Parts car dude, don't even THINK about putting it back on the road.

You can easily pull a 500$ profit, maybe 1k with more work. Parting it out.

haha yeah, thats what i was thinking. This is what the girl had to say about the car.

"It's a 90', 94' M edition tan leather seats, M door panels, M 1.6L motor/trans. Its red, new tails, gay rims, purchased the new top about 6 months ago, needs M edition engine harness to run. Accidentally let that harness go with the M edition body when I sold it. The dumb *** kid sprayed the entire engine bay and head lights a gay *** blue. Hes not intelligent enough to sand anything down, so it may come off."

So who knows what is actually going on with the car.

I wouldn't try to put that back on the road in a million years. It looks like hell, probably requires more work then its worth. There's plenty of 500-1500 dollar miatas in much better shape.

wes65

iTrader: (7)

yeah, you guys are probably right, but between a friend and i, we have 5 miatas so a parts car would be as good for parts as it would for money.

Fixed,

Most of us have been there, some of us more times then others. If you want a modded car, do NOT start with a shitbox.

Even if you are taking it down to the shell and starting over, a shitbox is no place to start. Very very few exceptions to this rule.

If you have the place/tools/patience/(ok neighbors or non existent ones) then pick it up as a parts car, obviously ask for less then 500$, even at 500$ you will make money, but unless you enjoy it, you are making little money for your labor.

I'd buy it if I had space, money and time...I would offer no more than $300 though.
And part the hell out of it for decent prices to help everyone out that needs parts.

That's a kick *** engine bay job.
They should have stupidity tests at 16, if you fail you get to do manual labor for the rest of your life. Like dig ditches with a spoon or something else useful.

anyone else see the extremely cool modded steering wheel and the dual gauge pod in the back, on a side note you might have a little more than you think in terms of parts, the seats are from the 1995 M adjustable headrests very rare.

wes65

iTrader: (7)

Hmmm... interesting.

Stein

Ooooo...I missed that. Probably $300-500 for seats/door panels. A little bolster wear, but not torn.
