Nice deal on an 86 5 speed on Richmond Craigslist
No affiliation, looks like a good deal that just needs a bit of love. Engine compartment and paint looks nice.

Talked to the owner, Dave. Nice guy. Wants to be honest and meet potential buyer's expectations. That's a good approach.
Car is a <1000 VIN, so no 86.5 here. Still reads like a nice car, one that needs some work. Don't they all. Dave says he has quite a few service records, so one might be able to piece together what's needed.
My guess is this car needs at least shocks and clutch.
Is a repaint, but a good one. Shows well, he says.
He said to me, verbally, he would take $3900.
If anyone is interested, I'll look at it this weekend.

I'll be calling in the morning.
I'm interested if you'd take a look sea for me please.
Even if I know I shouldn't be
Check the tires, brakes, and give a look under the engine for any obvious leaks to front and rear seals. I'd appreciate a look at the steering rack, and ball joints - if the two tires recently replaced are the fronts - it makes me a bit nervous about the tie rod condition - or the last alignment
I would also like to know if it will slip in 4th or 5th gear - in other words -
Given 10 stops to fuel, rest, and eat, would it hopefully make it to Florida.

I almost forgot...
You guys really don't want this car......
It looks terrible and will probably cost $10,000 to get back in shape....

Thanks to Cosmo for posting this - If the inspection goes anywhere near what I hope - (like if it runs and holds oil pressure and the radiator doesn't leak) - I'll be flying up to pick the car up and drive her home. It is going to a fellow firefighter!
And Jadz928 - answer your phone and the car is headed over to you - on a trailer!
Buddy, after speaking with you into the wee hours you probably aren't awake yet But - THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU
This is what the 928 brotherhood is all about.
Kevin Michael - I think a bit of brain lubricant may just have to flow and am looking forward to meeting you!
