Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1985 Mondial

Wow - 8 years of off-topic, ranting, flaming, etc., and you're still around?
Great for you!

Gut check, I think that you could probably part it out fairly easily for
$10k at least, given it's a QV engine.  I bet the guy will take $11k-$12k.

If you're just looking to get it running, and drive around next summer with
the top down and enjoy it, what the hey, it's topless fun for Miata money.
When you're done, sell it for what you've put into it, or part it out, what
have you got to lose??

Vty,

Hi,

Been reading the list for 8+ years but have never posted.  I went to look at
a 1985 Mondial Cab today that was advertised as not running.  The body was
ok, some weird small dents on the drivers side by where the top mounts and
some rust spots starting to show.  The paint on the car was fair to poor,
the top could have been better, the leather was cracking, the center console
was lifting by the switches.  The car did turn over but it did not fire.
Could not smell any gas.  The seller has changed plugs, fuel filter, fuel
pump (said he spent $1300 on parts) but could not get it started.  It has
been sitting for at least this summer.  The seller stated that the car ran
fine last year until it was parked and after winter (stored outside but
covered) it would start then quit.  The car is in Mass and has not had an
inspection since 2003.  Carfax shows no accidents but does show evidence of
mileage rollback.  It went from 67,000 in 1997 to 36,000 in 1999 when sold
at auction.  Currently is says 47,000.  So with all the red flags waving and
since it wont start I cant get it to a ghetto,  what do you think this car
is worth?  He is asking 15k  I was thinking 8k at the most.  I wanted to get
a project car (looking for a 308/328) but this one seems to need more work
then I want to throw in to it (plus money). 

thanks

rich
