I would say not bad but without seeing the car, it is hard to tell. Post some pics and what kind of work are you going to have to do...body, interior, motor?

For $3200 I'd be a lil worried about its condition. If it honestly only needs about $1500 in it to fix it up completely, you've found a deal of a lifetime.

**** that's a helluva deal if it legitimately only needs $1500 worth to be in good condition. I'd fix 'er up and sell... huge profits to be had there.

Around here a 96' Cobra with that many miles sales for around $8,000-$13,000 in excellent condition. If you know its only $1,500 to fix, you got a hellava deal. I'd be worried that theres a catch to it, something major is wrong that u dont know about.

What are the repairs you have to make? If its body work thats awesome, but if it's engine work and your not sure about it's condition, that could be trouble.

Post pics / take it to a mechanic to get checked over.
