It was mostly luck...it was a young kid who was selling it. His parents bought it for him, and he just wanted the cash to buy something new. His original asking price was $6,500.....but since it was overheating, and he really couldn't tell me what the problem was, I had to drive several hours with a trailer to pick it up. I figured it was something easy, but since I didn't know....I just kept talking him down.
I told him I would drive down with a trailer and pick it up for $3,500....no questions asked. He said ok...and the deal was done.
That being said...I would never pay $3,600 for a crashed one with a bad title. It's just not worth that much.......maybe $2,500....maybe. Getting frame and body work done right is expensive, and then you still have the salvaged title issue.
I'm interested in this project though.....it's cool to see someone putting one back together. Hopefully he's making some progress.
