id offer $500. then at least if you part it out you can make some money.

 

I agree.

 

Ain't that the truth!

 

Decisions, decisions....

 

This is your conscience speaking....tell him you're a long time Rover owner and they are PITA and super expensive to fix, offer him $500, if he doesn't take it, PASS

 

he will take it if he is desperate enough. earlier this year i bought a 5spd d1 that i could actually drive home for $700.

 

Alright, I'm going to keep an eye on it. And if it's not gone by Monday, I'll pounce like a wild banshee

 

Don't wait if you have the money, unless you really do not want it. If you have the money, offer the $500. If he says no, give him your number for when he changes his mind. Call him back a few days later and offer $500 again.

 

I agree. That's how I got my 96. PO wanted 1500....i offered 500....waited and eventually ended up at 900.

Only took a fuel pump to get her going..........

 

Depends on what the overheating issue is.
The no power under acceleration is a bad VSS.
Start at $500 but buy it for under $1000.
Replace the VSS.
If it only over heats at idle then replace the fan clutch, thats $50.
Then go from there.
