This one does look pretty good. I think his price is a little on the high side for what it is though. I am being pretty picky, but if he is saying he in not willing to negotiate on the price (even though it says must be gone by the weekend), I think it should be pretty good for almost 4K.
The good:
Has the interior I want, buckets, console, color
Is the year/exact style I want. I like the side mirrors and tail lights better on these.
It is stock
The bad:
It is stock, LOL
Not the stock rims I would want so that would add to the price, at least a few hundred.
Seats are ripped on the side
Stripe on the exterior, which I don't want anyway, is coming off and will need something. If it just peels off, what will be underneath, hopefully not bright white? Might not be a big deal.
There seems to be something going on on the rocker under the door, I would guess either the doors or rocker is rotting out. This is very common to be the door, and doors aren't cheap. Pics of the rear quarter and wheel wells aren't good so it is hard to tell what that is like.
No inside trunk pics, there are a lot of areas there that commonly rot in the trunk.
Overall it might be a decent buy, but there isn't enough info in the pics to really see the condition. As these get older and prices go higher, I might kick myself, but it seems like a lot. If he was asking $3,200, maybe I would be more inclined to look at it harder.
