02WhiteGTVert, is just giving you is opinion you asked we are telling you? From what I reading about the three cars they are going to need work so if you want to buy something that cheap(plan on dumping tons of money into it) even the owners are really not sure whats wrong with the cars? Save your money until you got something that's worth buying, no need to buy someone's headache ! You need to have some patience and keep looking and if they won't let you drive the car don't even make an offer on them.

Sorry buddy but cheap equals junk and you get what you pay for. If your not a master machenic like most of us aren't. These cars will cost a fortune to get in decent running condition.

9redfox3, hey I def see what you, bluebeastsrt, and 02WhiteGTVert are saying. But like I mentioned, the OP doesn't seem to be looking for a reliable DD or something pretty. I'm under the impression that he is looking for something cheap to gut out and throw some juice at and rip down the track. If I was in the market for that then I would look for the closest thing to a roller that still runs (ONLY to drive it home). You don't need a good running engine if you're gonna rip it out anyway. And you don't need a clean interior if you're gonna rip all that out also is what I'm saying. So in that case any of those three cars are fine. It's not like they have a rod knock or anything. And whatever problems they do have sound like easy fixes to me. And it would be a good platform to gain knowledge and experience with. Why spend more money on a nicer car just to end up blowing the engine up which is inevitable? But if he is looking for a reliable nice car then you guys are absolutely right...and my bad if I came across as rude.

car #2 sounds like less issues than the others. If #3 idled fine I'd say go for that one. test drive it first.
