Burnt Orange 05, good deal?
Ok. I ran into some money otherwise I wouldnt be looking. I want something cheap and fun to work on, I already own a 4x4 07 crv, and miss my old 240sx from highschool.
So heres the details
2005 burnt orange
Manual
Cloth interior
120k
repainted in feb due to clearcoat coming off
Radiator replaced at 100k per nissan rec's he said
passenger window goes down but not up, new motor included
seats are a bit torn up, but to be expected
carfax says one incident where his car was backed into while parked outside his house
headlights replaced and look great
still in stock form
Ive been following this guys ads and its gone down from 6500 to 5k even. Hes a few hurs from me so jsut trying to do my homework and see what I should be looking out for. I asked him straight up as it will be a autox and weekend car for me, and he says mechanically it drives and feels great. He is also the original owner..
deal or no deal?

He just sent these...in my area most cars this age are rebuilt/salvaged...So the clean title is a big deal to me, and no mods it looks like. The wheels are awful but that can all be changed in time.

Agreed, the engine bay is extremely dirty, also it might just be the picture but the top portion of the interior looks good. Not sure what the part is called but where the AC controls and shift boot are looks like it was repainted black and looks a little grody. All-in-all for 5k it does not look like a bad car.
I would suggest attempting to get a car fax, or any other info you can. TEST DRIVE IT NO MATTER WHAT.

The right rear is pretty curbed up. They sprayed the front fascia fins also. If it was my $ I'd get 2 pieces of white posterboard to ck for engine / tranny leaks. If good, go for it.
