Alright I am looking into a 1993 Vette that needs some work. The car has the Greenwood package on the car (not painted). So far I know it as a leak either from hose to the heater core or the heater core has a leak ($500 to $700). Low Beam/High Beams switch does not work ($500). Car seats will need to recovered ($1000). Car will need fully painted - clear coat peeling plus crack in hood ($3000 to $4000). So I know this will be a project that I can drive as I am working on. The car has around 115k. The person wants 5500.00 for the car.

Is this project a total money pit? Should I walk away? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Run as fast as you can

agreed, run away. that's a money pit that isn't worth half that asking price.

Yeah I am thinking that I am going to do that. I will have just want longer for the right Vette to come around. I can say that the guy has been pretty up front so far about everything about the car. Thank you for your opinions.

No way in hell that car would be worth $5500. It sounds like the PO didn't care for it much so there could be a lot more problems buried somewhere.

Keep looking. For $5500 you can find something a whole lot better. And I mean a whole lot better.

I wouldn't even consider a car like that for the asking price. Sounds like a disaster.

It would back to the searching' for me.

You guys are SO lucky over there! $5500 seems quite cheap to me and are you kidding me with paintworks costing $4000-5000???

To import my brand new Greenwood Motorsports kit for my car was $ 4245.00. I won´t start telling you about how much the repaint was....

Europe pretty much sucks if you own a Corvette. Everything has to be imported from the US with shippings costs, VAT, Taxes, customs fees etc. Wait, Europe does really sucks...

Heyy, you gotta pay for that "FREE" healthcare somehow!

Isn't life in a Socialist Utopia grand? We're having a referendum on it this fall, to see how well we've enjoyed our four year test of it.

Do it now.

rip off i say in that condition it should be around $1000 to $2000

Thanks for all the advice. I told the gentlemen I could make an offer, but it would much lower than what he was asking for the car. They stated that they had a potential buyer at 4500. So I am moving on and I will keep looking. Just not the right car. We will see what else is out there.
