To save this car or not...

[Crazy_pilot]

Alright, so I'm pondering whether or not to pick up this car. She isn't a pretty lady right now, not by a long shot. Each wheel well has rust, the door skins are likely toast, and there's a radiator that I've never seen in an SVX before. All 4 wheels have corrosion and bubbled paint, both rear quarters have small dents, the spoiler is horribly chipped, the hood doesn't latch, and I'm not even sure what it looks like underneath yet.

The good stuff? Good interior (Very good), about 108K miles, new tires, brakes look newer, electrics work. I'll be taking it for an extended test drive once I get the CarFax.

I talked to a body shop guy today. He said to expect roughly $5-600 per side to rebuild the rear wheel wells. Doors, fenders, a proper rad, all that I can do. I'd only need someone to repair the rear end rust.

I can probably get the car for 2000-2500 Canadian, which is not bad as SVX's seem to command a steeper price here. (Like 6-10K).

So who thinks it's worth saving? I'll probably be in for about $4-5000 once the repairs are finished, providing the mechanics all check out as they should.

The pictures are in my locker, too big to put in here and slow everything down.
