Default Ebay OB 5 spd

Needs paint, mechanical work, possible electrical work, a/c for sure, syncros maybe, engine may be shot, etc etc etc. I don't even see him getting $2.5k. What do you guys think? My wife is starting her MBA next year so I may be selling my SC and get an OB. Its about 30 min from my house so PM if anyone wants me to take a look at it.

Interesting. Sure could use more and better pics. Looks like nice condition pasha. No pass side mirror. It would be pretty suprising of the motor was shot if the mileage is correct.

Wow, wish I could take a crack at a sorted forced induction car.
Not at present, however.

He's asking too much... that's not the description of a $3,000 928. When the biggest highlight is that the fuel system has stablizer... watch out.

I'm not sure. But if you write it A R A B A L A B A M A that might just take the cake for having A's every other letter.

The Pasha interior is the only thing going for that car. Seems like there are better deals out there. A week ago there was a 78 euro (I know no more HP than US) in non-running shape but the seller new more than "It does not run at the time due to the fact that it has just sat up." for less than this car.

True. Personally, I never understand why a seller in this situation would not invest a day and $50 to get it running before listing it. But I'm a sucker for the blue, and I kinda like the no passenger side mirror thing. I don't love the pasha myself, but it seems quite liveable, and in much better condition than it would be if it were leather. Other people like it quite a lot, and it does have a retro quality. Also, no sunroof or rubstips, which I think a lot of people like. And everthing looks original...no updated spoilers or wheels, or wings or anything.

I cannot tell if the paint on the hood is gone, or if there is some reflections in it.

I paid less for a car that was described better...and it's a basket case. I'd stay away from that one for that kind of money.

no sunroof, 5 speed and Pasha... you are correct, that's the highlight right there... but not for what he's asking.

The Pasha is faded, not worth buying. If you look closely you'll see that it's the black/blue pasha, with the black faded greenish and the blue faded grayish. Just like mine. I know it well
