Is this worth $200? - Page 2 - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum

I saw that one on CL also, it didn't have the pictures that revealed the front end though. 1993 Geo Metro says it's a 3cylinder, so I guess it is.

I wouldn't buy it, but that's because I don't have any other Metro stuff lying around. The rest of the body looks pretty good, but there could be a lot of rust underneath stuff as well.

3 cylinder 5 speed, has a/c.

I sent the guy an email telling him that it's just not worth it to me... he sent me ^^^ back as a reply.

I don't think I'm going to drive 1.5 hours, look at the car, give $200, set up a way to move it, etc... and have it be a basket case (as it obviously is).

If he lived across the street from me, and it was fifty bucks, maybe...

Finest regards,

You (or anyone) should buy my *91 civic HB shell for $350... btw the guy I bought it from has at least 6 metros, so if you want a metro I can ask him about each one and post details.

* no title

I'm still weighing the options, because I'm not really looking forward to getting a title for the Civic, honestly. That, and I hate body work. And I've got my house to worry about, and my Truck that I have get on the road, Cara I have to play with, racing tractor, pulling tractor, now a 4 wheeler that I have to fix, etc... I'm getting neck deep in projects again, not even counting all the stuff that my Father and I were supposed to have done this year, that probably won't get done, due to lack of funding/time.

Oh, and now I just broke my backhoe... so there's another setback, to the tune of whatever a new set of hydraulic lines costs, plus around 20 gallons of hydraulic fluid.
