What do you think guys? Wanting to buy, does it worth 3800?
Will post images later (if any response will be here).

depends how it was cared for and what shape its in. does it grind gears? are the lift bolts broken?

Well, I know nothing about this car, I just found it on craigslist. And it is in 3 hours driving from me (in NJ). The guy initially listed it for 5k, now dropped down to 3.7k. Unfortunately it is hard to figure out how the car was cared in short period of time.... But assuming it doesn't grind and lift bolts are not broken (what is it and why they're supposed to be broken?), does it worth it? What else can be weak spots for these cars?

post deleted. when buying a higher mileage sporty car you want something owned by a woman who took religious care of it...or old persons. odds are someone younger has already beat the ever living snot out of it and are the 3rd or 4th owner. a car with alot of past owners can indicate a problem...like its been ridden hard and put away wet.

He doesn't say the mileage. Could be high. Over $5000 too... you can buy a lot of cars for that price so shop around.
