I remember a few weeks back someone posting something similar to my request for opinions based on expereince.
My SO wants to sell his old 1989 Z24 so he placed some ads online. The car IMO is a piece of shiite. I hate the thing.
Long story short he left a discription on the website of the plus and minuses of the car.
I'll post the description of it below, but first here is the emails based on one of the ads, which might I mention all have the same description regarding the car.
From: @yahoo.com
Regarding Ad: 40385 (1989 Z24 Cavalier (Toronto, ON CANADA) for Sale)
To respond to this inquiry simply reply to this email.

S/O's Responce:
The ad gives all details regarding car. The body has minor rust that needs repairs. And the engine have a bent rod bearing. Which needs replacing or a new engine. The car runs, but with a bend rod bearing there is no telling for how long.
I'm asking $2,000.00 or B/O
My apologies for not responding sooner, I have been indisposed.
