I wish I could find one for a grand lol worth the work sounds good

 

I'd go for it for $1000, how many miles? Remember, I just got a 99 for $2000, so do it man.......

 

How many miles are on it?

 

not sure yet. it has to have around 150000. he is the original owner.

i didnt make it to his house today he got off work late and had a firefighting meeting...so maybe tomorrow

 

Check all the standard things. Pull the radiator cap and check for oil in the antifreeze. Pull the engine oil dip stick. Is it clean? No water in the oil? Remove the oil filler cap and start the car. Is there much blowby coming from the cap? Look at the tranny fluid. Is it bright red or is it dark brown and smells burnt? If it is a winter car is it rusty underneath? Does the heater and defroster work? Everything else would be minor but check lights, tires, brakes, and axel joints. Good luck with your new Monte.
