94 Cavalier RS
6 cylinder
181,000 km
Bought it in mint condition with 30,000 on it in 1993
Price: $2500 (private sale)
It's rusting at the bottom sides of the car
The car's been really good to me
Little technical problems over the years
Problem:
Battery is dead
Alternator needs to be replaced
Front Breaks gone
I'm thinking $600 to fix.
Is it worth fixing?
I'm emotionally attached to this car. It's been reliable and I love the power. I knew the time would come when I'd have to let it go and this could be it.
What do you think?
man thats fucking wierd. I know a guy that has a 1992 one, identical but his is red. He bought it new, and is also VERY attached to it, and wants to fix it up.
Yours isn't in too bad shape so I'd say go and fix it up, max you'd spend $150 on all used parts if you were to buy the battery and other parts used... new I'd say $600-1000.
For what its worth, may as well spend the $150, toss in the parts and keep going until it dies.
His has 340k on it, and its a fucking mobile train wreck so I told him to junk it, but at least yours sounds semi-decent.
Glad to see you're enjoying its ample power.
