Good evening,
First of all, I hope you do not mind I am writing here in English- my German is not good enough (yet).
I have the opportunity to purchase a 1989 C4 Corvette with 164.000 kilometers, but before I do I would like to know the opinion of the forum if I should purchase the car or not.
The car has not been driven for about 2 years.
-White, paint = 7/10
-Automatic
-Interior is OK, seats are new.
The car starts and drives, but has quite some issues:
1. tires are very old, need 4 new tires.
2. alternator/Lichtmaschine = new but does not charge the battery, I suspect something is wrong with the cables.
3. Only 6 cylinders are working
4. Oil leak from the Automatic transmission, the seals need to be replaced.
5. New brakes
6. Katalysator needs to be replaced
There might be more issues that I am not aware of yet.
I can buy the car for about 4000 euro.
From a first perspective, should I walk away from the car or go for it?
Thank you for reading!
Regards,
Chuck
