Why do I have no money!?

seller said: Silver 1986 Mazda 626 GT turbocharged 4-door sedan. 5-speed manual transmission. 181,616 miles. 25-28mpg on the highway. Capable of 0-60 in under 10 seconds. Comes with clean Ohio title. The Good: Engine runs strong. New alternator, alternator belt, and battery in 2011. New radiator hoses in 2012. Oil and spark plugs changed regularly. I think it's due for an oil change and tune-up within the next 500 miles. The Bad: Paint is faded from age. Has some damage to the dash from age and a break in earlier this year when the radio was stolen. Throwout bearing is noisy and it could use a new muffler.

I think your timing was off.

Or maybe my first email response from him was at least 20 hours ago before this thread existed.

Seller updated listing.

Seems to be a very solid car, though the rear suspension doesn't look like it'd be a WHOLE lot of fun to work on due to being old and somewhat rusty, but not terrible.

I'm not sure what to do here. I want it fairly bad, but don't think it's worth $750 to me since i'd really rather have a 2 door GC.

Definitely worth the $750 overall though.

I want it fairly bad but unless my Saab sells there is no way I can get it.

In reply to EvanB:

Funny, I want your saab and I'm in Dayton but I wont have the funds for at least a month.

Here's how it works. Ben buys car. Ben sits on it for a month. Pubburgers buys Evans saab, Evan buys the GC from Ben for a small profit for storage time. Everyone wins!
