    If the car is immaculate then yeah - great price. If it's a rusted bomb then you are probably paying around $800 too much.

    yeh get some pics probably the best way, and try to get a roady with it aswell
    just have a look for basic shit that might hurt you down the track eg worn tires, belts and shit need replacing, worn pads/drums, suspension and the body work espicialy rust, take it for a drive and see how it goes listen for any suspicious noices, some mechanics will have a quick look over the car you for next to no price aswell
    just some ideas
    cheers mate and good luck

    guys thats actually not a bad price from a wrecker...the real question is why are you buying from wreckers...they charge through the nose and its not as if RB30's are thin in population!
