Worth it? 1992 Mx-3 GS

Post by DangerXDan »

Now i found a mx-3 gs v6 standard but it has 200k+ and a bit of rust. im currently 17 and only making like 1.2G a month but summer is coming and were moving so parents are tossing me some money and i've always wanted this car since my aunt got one in 1996 (shes selling it soon with 140+km but its a 4 cyl and been in a crash). This black one is right next to me and the guy is asking 800 but i can probably low ball him to 400 or less since it says a spare tire on the back wheel.

i was going to a engine swap and ALOt of mods but does the KM's really matter then? is it worth it?

I don't have alot of car experience but all my family members do and its something i've always wanted to do.

As long as the rust is superficial, and it runs, it's worth it, especially if you can get it for less. If your fam can do a compression test, and a good general inspection, go for it! By the time you finish upgrading, you will have a basically new car, like me, and many others here.

keep the rust to a minimum and u should be fine...esp if you're going to just swap and mod anyways. but be sure to keep us all posted of your decision!
