Should I buy this EK9 ?

[John Pham]

Friends/Family picked up an EK9 for $500 and I can buy it for $500. Clean title, manual, new complete front end( headlights, fender, hood, bumper) stock one was given away to cousin. Car is running but engine knocks like crazy, has another working engine for parts. Clean interior and everything. There is no damage, just lots of dust and spider webs and dirt. Nothing a wet towel and hose can't solve.

How much does it cost on avg to fix engine?

Umm that's not an EK9 buddy, that's a regular d series EK. Would need a good clean up, shame about the engine knocking though. Maybe more hassle than it's really worth?

Went to look at the car again and you're right. Even 4lug wheels. Oops I never really looked at the car until now even though it's at my house

Depends on how good or bad the shell is, if it's in good nick just bin the engine and put a new one in, it's a D series there are loads of them about for peanuts, at least here in the U.K. Also, never seen a steering wheel this worn!

Shell is in great condition. No rust either. Just dusty and dirty.
