most of you guys probably won't... only reason why im considering it is cause its a fairly rare car and if its an easy fix, its a good car! http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/3685914899.html problem is, it kind of looks like a ricer who wanted to play mechanic went overload on it, other than that i guess its fairly clean, besides the whole body kit, i will upload pics tomorrow (its 3am) the car overheated cause the pipe fell off, cause he didn't install it properly, im thinking a radiator hose.. if the car went into limp mode, technically shouldn't it be designed to save itself? and i thought modern engines are pretty strong, as well headgaskets hes about 2 hours away from me so its a fairly long drive, is there any way to tell what damage was done? i was planning on going there with a buddy who knows a bit about cars, and doing a compression test, then deciding.. but it is a 2 hours drive, and my buddy is about an hour 30 away from me.. so about a 4 hour drive..
doubt hes going as low a $1000, but i was planning to diy, the motor and interior a decent upgrade to my current daily beater
Stay away. That's not even a good car to begin with. The Ralliart is just a regular Lancer with some cosmetic upgrades and a few features. It's not like a Lancer Evolution, it's a FWD sedan, same as a Camry or Accord. The 2.4L engine it came with isn't very good either You could probably find a good running Camry for what he's asking
guess it ain't even worth my time, i'll still post the pics i got though well i thought it'd be a good daily, and its alot more fun than any camry.. also 86. wouldn't a compression test show if there is ring damage?
