Is this a good DEAL or what?

Question

A guy my son works with owned a 1991 Lexis 250 se. It has leather seats,air,power windows and sun roof. It also has 150,000 miles on it,3 flat tires and a bent right strut. The guy had it setting at his apartment for several months and the apartment manager told him to move it or he was going to have it towed away. When i first saw the car I new he only had 2 hours to move it or loose it. to make a long story short I bought the car for $170.00 . IS THAT A GOOD DEAL OR WHAT

Answer 1

yeah its a good deal, but why was the strut bent? you might want to check for structural damage as it sounds as though he was in an accident of some sort (maybe driving over curbs or something...?). i would definitely check the chassis and everything.
but yeah, awesome deal!

Answer 2

Just about any car for $170 is a good deal, even if you fill up the flat tires and sell it for $500

Answer 3

Yes,resale very good its worth investing some cash for new strut assembly. and tires.

Answer 4

Answer 5
