Now it gets down to your skill level and how you would want to deal with it. I could do the job myself, but only after the seller dropping the price. If you’d have to pay someone to fix it, I’d pass.
I'll be doing any work myself. Thats why im looking for clean frame, body and interior. Those are the things i dont want to get into. Anything mechanical im fine with

Has been repainted, has all the trim. Seems like there is lots of stuff he doesnt talk about until directly asked. Losing interest honestly

I avoid cars with vinyls tops thanks to all of the horror stories on here.
I usually question any car that was just painted and then up for sale instantly.
Since he wasn't talking anyways you think he would have fired it up in the beginning of the video and we could have heard it with the hood open and seen what was coming out of the exhaust.
Since the molding is not on the vinyl you might be able to take a partial look at what is underneath since it is raised up a little.

Doesnt start it and it has no fan shroud

Make sure it didnt overheat and they do overheat very easily

Check oil, if its new, why hes selling it, what is he hiding?

Check trans fluid, should be a 2004r and again no fan shroud...overheat

Vinyl top looks faded and dull in spots just push down on it and see if there is any give.

Different steering column....why?

And most important the passenger door squeaks!!!!!!
Yeah its black, he doesnt know anything about it

Maybe someone tried to steal it and destroyed the original column but why not paint it first before installing.

So is this guy a "flipper" ?
If he couldn't find the time to mount a license plate holder or pop some trim on what are the odds he went to the trouble to transfer the title from the previous owner.
