Wanted: Nice 72 or 73 2002tii or 2002, sunroof preferred. I'm on the east coast, but anywhere in the US considered. Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

What is your budget? Are you looking for a driver or a project?

Hi: Thanks for the reply. I'm not looking for a project car or one with rust issues. I'm basically looking for a well-sorted, solid car in nice condition and am willing to pay a fair price based on condition.

Hi- If you are interested, I have a highly restored 1976, automatic, and located in Mass. You can contact me at ollson4229@charter.net. for info. Jack

Any color/interior combo?

If you get a '73 Verona, we'll match.

Happy hunting.

Don't settle for a low-cost tii that will be too much of a project.

Are you willing to travel to either inspect or drive the car back home?

If you are shipping the car, plan on budgeting more than the shipper/broker quotes you just in case of schedule changes or if the car doesn't run (!?XL!@@#$).

No matter how nice the car looks in pictures, plan on spending a bunch to get the gremlins worked out and make it how you want it to be.

IF the car has been modified by a PO, make sure the work was done safely and not just botched together to sell it.

Watch out for new paint jobs, especially ones that don't have the jambs and underhood areas sprayed to match.

A better body with tired mechanical bits may be a wiser choice than fresh mechanicals and rusty body.

Buy a car with a color that you can live with.

IMO, the old air conditioning systems in 2002's is not worth the extra weight/aggravation unless you absolutely must have it. Quite a few tii's that I have inspected have had the A/C pulled.

Thanks for the reply about your '76 for sale. Sounds nice, but for me, it needs to be a round tail light car since I owned one new in '73 and would like to find one that's similar to one I let get away.

Hi Andrew: Thanks for your note. My preference would be to find one in either Malaga or Fjord, but condition is more important.

I'd like to see your CSi and be able to compare notes. Would you like to meet somewhere half way between?

I wanted a Malaga to replace the one I let go. Very happy that I 'settled' for Verona...condition is everything.

Yes, we should get the coupes together, as soon as my new dist cap and rotor arrive. I'll be in touch.
