Buying a 2002 part 2

Points to remember

In general, the following points can be said:

  • A nice original car is more desireable to most people than a modified or poorly "restored" car.
  • A sunroof or five-speed transmission increases the value of the car.
  • Color makes a difference. Some colors hold up/look better than others.
  • A nice body is hard to find, and there are a lot of sloppy "restorations" out there. Buy the best body you can afford.

  • The "perfect" car may not be perfect when you first see it. Instead, it may need some work but the price should reflect that.
  • A little rust usually means a lot of rust that you can't see.
  • If there aren't receipts for work done and the work isn't visible or obvious, it may not have been done and you should be careful about paying for it.

    Remember the old saying, "Caveat Emptor" or "Let The Buyer Beware"? It applies here too. Next time, we'll tell you the most common problems to look for when buying a 2002.
