Hey guys,
I actually called that guy and asked him a couple of questions about that 1980 244 that I saw in the paper. So I figured I'd write out the pros and cons about owning this car:

Pros:
-It's a well maintained 244: The guy's dad is a master mechaninc and he did all the work to the car
-It's a sound investment, the car's an antique and it only has 140K on the car.
-He's selling it because of how much money it costs him to fill the car up with gas since he commutes 100 miles a day.
-I could drive this car in the summer so I don't put a lot of miles on my '91 244, which means it'll be easier to fix up down the road.
-There's only a little bit of rust along the wheel wells, which is far much less rust than what is on my '91 244. Not to mention, this means that there would be less work required to restore this car than my '91.
-It passed inspection in November which means there's nothing wrong with the engine/trans.
-It has a new exhaust from the cat. back
-Parts are really cheap for this car, not to mention monthly maintenance and repair will cost less than it will to restore my '91, since the '80 244 doesn't need anything.
-It's only $500!!!

Now here are all of the concievable cons that I could think of:
-It's a 26 year old car
-Stuff's going to break on it all of the time
-It'll probably cost you more money to upkeep this car than to just drive my '91
-You're inheriting someone else's problem
-The electrical systems in the older 240s suck.
-It'll probably need a new wiring harness....


Something tells me this car is a steal, and I should snatch this car up immediately....Whats the opinions of you guys???
Oh one more thing...Did I mention this is a 2 owner car, and the other person who owned this car was his GRANDMOTHER and he's owned this car for 2 years, which means good ol' grandma's owned this car for almost all of it's life.
