Craigslist is the work of the devil. I have no need for another car (#4) but for $400 I couldn't pass this up. Its a 92 244 with working windows and locks and shiny paint. No cracks in the dash, great seats, and good glass. It has brand new rear brakes but no e-brake and brand new pads and rotors for the front in the trunk. The bad news is the throwout bearing makes a little noise, the rear u-joint is about to fall out, the tires are bald, the Thule rack has a key broken off in one lock, and the A/C doesn't work. A few dents and dings and some rust in the left front door. Still, it made it the six miles home so I can't complain.
So now what? The way I see it I have 4 options:
-Flip it as is after a U-joint and a cleaning.
-Fix it up a bit with my spare Hydras and good tires, fix the A/C, buff it out, maybe a clutch and tune-up and drive it this winter while I put a 5 speed in my 745t.
-Same as above but sell it.
-Part it out, mostly for my '70 142S. I could use the floors, interior (A/C dash?), drive shaft, rear end (?), and drivetrain. The 142 needs floors anyway and swapping in this one should let me use not only the seats but the sweet running B230F and M47 with only 182k on it. Or I could use the engine in my 745t since it has another 100k on it.
What should I do?
