Hi guys/girls,
I just bought my self a '97 EL Ghia off e-bay, 220,000k's, one owner, full service history, with $2500 just spent recently on servicing, auto trans repairs and brakes. I bought it with a bit of damage, it has been sideways into a gutter and damaged 2 wheels, and broken the watts linkage bracket off the diff plate. It has a deep scratch in the l/h quarter panel too, but other than that it looks to be good. I rekoned that $1925 was a fair price to pay ? and it should be a good car when fixed, i still rekon they are a real nice car, almost 10 years later. If anyone has a couple of EL Ghia wheels and a diff backing plate, or maybe a complete diff housing PM me.

check that its not in the written off vehicle register and that it has a clean record, body damage is fixable, but its useless if the car can't be rego'd

That is perhaps the deepest "deep scratch" I have ever seen lol. Some people just hate to say it how it is hey? Still a real good buy though - looks otherwise quite clean.

They drove it home as it hit the gutter around the corner from their house. I spoke to the guy selling it on their behalf, and he said there was stuff all damage on it....and they were mad not to fix it.
