Hello all. Wanted to get some advice on this. I have the opportunity to own a '95 Black T5R wagon. It has a very straight body, wing, volans instead of titans. Its a high mileage over 300k per current owner. Needs a stage 0 ASAP including timing and water pump. Car runs very very good. Check engine due to cat (rear 02 bank sensor)
Slight rear main seal leak. Interior needs rear hatch area cosmetics.
Price was negotiated between 1200-1000
Whatvya guys think. I have all the time and asone cash to throw at this project.
Car runs straight and drives well.

The mileage is up there but for a clean, straight, R it is at least in the realm of reality. If it has lived all of its life in California that is a plus, way better than buying a similar mileage Chicago car.

Fir that price it can't be too bad. The spoiler, volans and front lip alone are worth half that price at least. They are getting rare, so grab it.

My guess is that there are less than 50 of those on the road. Go for it.
