Default quite the question...

So i'm selling my car , and i've found two 5Litres i like , the one ... Red 1988 Hatch .. has decent exhaust the engine doesnt seem to be all that good , its got 190ks on it , stock rims ... and the interior is pretty .. well it needs some TLC .. however the interior is all together..he wants 3000 , body work was done .. has a paint job but its not the best paint job ..

The other car .. 1989 Coupe has some nice sounding exhaust , not stock rims , ugly body thoe i'd have to throw some bodywork+paint into her , the interior is all ripped out .. it was red before so the guy switched it (or started switching) to a grey interior .. he wants 2500.. The engine sounds awsome , 136ks on it , deffiently sounds beautiful etc , the engine however needs a new heater core (which is quite pricey from what i hear)..
'
Just curious on your input ... i could put some labour into the coupe and save ... well maybe not even save money fixen it up , or go with the hatch and possibly have some ugly engine problems...
Thanks

i'd say go with the coupe, motor stability is much better than interior imo. Get some pics if you can

Personally I would keep looking. Thats right. You will know your car when you see it. $ 3000.00 is just a little to pricey in that condition. You can find better ones on ebay in the $3000-3500 range. Coupe is definantly the better out of the two, but there ARE better condition 5.0's out there, with less milage as well. Keep looking
