A few "problems" but you could probably get it for less. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... a0170643b5

It will be CAT for flood damage on the engine

It says possibly hydrolocked, so suspect it went through something deep in the recent bad weather wont start, not sure how you can sell it as 'possibly' surely you either know or you dont

Maybe if you have a spare engine lying around worth a buy!

I think you'd definitely get more than 3.5k selling the parts if you were so inclined.

That's pretty honest for FB Marketplace IME. I would have expected more like "a real stunner with no issues. Rear window upgrade!"

I thought that too as E86 specific parts aren't easy to find.

I've got an engine lying in me garage from a breaker earlier this year

Very tempted. Maybe I'll msg the seller.

I’ve been chatting to the owner over the last week.. When you buy a non runner from Copart you have to know a little about cars surely?

For the sake of taking spark plugs out and trying to turn it over I can’t believe it’s hydrolocked. More likely electrical damage which could be harder to find or a bent piston.

I’d love to play but sadly it’s a really basic spec so cant justify pulling it from one end of the country to the other. There’s a boot at Quarry Motors for £600 in the right colour if anyone takes it on.

Why does 75k sound suspicious?

Nice project especially if you have access to a spare engine

I’ve been trying to buy this but we can’t agree a price. It’s an interesting/confusing car.
