have anything done too it? where is it leaking at from manifold? They just had an 03 around here with salvaged title with 70k miles cobra front bumper an hood, exhaut,intake an gears in it an they was asking 4000. so maybe that will give you an idea..If it was fix right then i say it would not be too bad a deal,but i would check it out really good an see what the bottom dollar he would take for it..

Have you checked it out? Where is the leak from the manifold? Why does it have a Salvaged title? Was it repaired and if so, how? Where was the hit? Was the frame bent? ect ect ect

are you saying the intake manifold is cracked? where is it leaking?
what are your plans for the car?
more info is needed, but if you ever plan on reselling the car than probably not.
if your planning on making it a project car, sure, but i'd try and get it for less.

what was it salvaged for? a wreck?

edit: lol they beat me to it

thanks a lot guys. so i called the guy and he said he has no idea why its salvaged, he bought it from a guy like that and i said you didnt ask the guy when you bought it and he said the guy he bought it from didnt know why it was salvaged either. and he said he doesnt know where its leaking from. he just knows it is leaking water and he said it cost $200 for a new manifold. i really want a gt but i need to save a little more money

car sounds like trouble. unless you have the mechanical ability to deal with the problems that its gunna throw at you, or the cash to pay someone to do it, i'd find something else.

yea, i could maybe see getting it as a rolling frame to build, but at that point i think you'd def want to have much less cash into the frame since you'd be spending alot of time and cash rippin everythin out and replacing it with something better.

if your lookin for a DD, you'd def want to spend the cash on something low milage with as few owners as possible. especially since your in cali too, and the emissions there are pretty sucky from what i hear.
