Aequitas_Veritas Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Well I have been searching for an 850 for about 10 months. Only the last 3 months did i actually get some cash, but I had managed to save about $4000 towards a Yellow T-5R. I planned to have about $9000 before I actually got one, but I still kept looking. One day I searched craigs list (a local internet sit) and someone had listed a yellow T-5R for $3800, price negotiable. So figuring its damaged I called the guy a few time and left some messages and eventually went to see it. It had 133,000 miles (a litte more then i wanted, but for the price I made do). I was in really good condition for the year and drove very well. So i asked him how negotiable the price was and he said hed give it to me for $2800. So i bought it, figuring its a salvage title, but carfax came up perfect. So I think i just got a great deal. Some problems it has:1) low beams on headlights didnt work (fixed)2) seat switches turned moter on but didnt work (fixed)3) turn signals didnt work (fixed)4) A/C doesnt work (fan does, its charged, but dosnt make the air cold)5) No gas capped (already found yellow replacement)Still trying to figure out the A/CHeres some pics:Heres working on the seat:Front (grill was fixed after, its no longer crooked)P.S. I also got a great set of blue injectors off ebay for a really good price for $40, somehow you guys missed that, haha. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drPheta Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Welcome to the Yellow Group...You did get a hot deal. Even if the A/C was an evap problem, you'd end up spending 8000 in the end on a perfect car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
