Did you mean 178K miles?
If it was 78k miles, that is still pretty low for a 17 yr oild car isn't it? I've have almost never seen one for so low with under a 100k miles unless it was a basket case.

There is a 90 coupe with 78k miles documented by carfax on it for $14950 firm by me lcally. The owner states in the ad that it has an oil leak. I'm seriously looking at buying a C2 and went to look even though I really want a Targa or a cab. Figured if it was as clean as it looked in the pictures and wasn't a huge mechanical mess I could live with a coupe. The poor car was is such sad shape mechanically, man what a basket case. Basically needed a total engine overhaul. Probably new cases as there was what looked like a patch where a rod had gone through at some point. Oil leak Indeed!
I have personally driven a '86 Targa with 310,000 miles on it without ever having the heads off the cases and it was a great car. The lady wanted to much for it based on the mileage so I passed. By that I mean that in my mind the engine even though it had good leak down numbers etc. had to be nearing the end of its life cycle so I factored in what a good rebuild would cost and dedcuted accordingly from the asking price.
For me it comes down to the type of owner and care the car received in my opinion. A fully documented history car owned by a loving pcar nut and the mileage wouldn't scare me. If the car had 278K but receipts for a top end overhaul that would up the value to me anyway. This stuff is all so fraught with emotion laced with gambling whose to say? I personally wouldn't pay more than 10K for it due to the soft market out there.

Yes this is the car deal didn't go through. It's not to far from me and I thought i'd check it out. I'm looking for a c4 for a daily driver, any advise would be great.
