    Default Too Cheap

    Just around the road from my place is a VN Berlina with a sticker in the window Goes Well-$950-just wondering, is this too cheap or could I purchase it to use as a parts car or a paddock basher...it looks reasonably straight.

    Perfect base car to use to build up into a project. If you're into that sort of thing.

    I'd grab it and have it sitting around to work on and do it up a bit. Work the engine, have it as a bit of a 'toy'.

    Now THERE'S a good idea. Full sports suspension and a thumping great big V8, with a manual box behind it, LSD up the back and some nice sticky rubber on the ground. Drop that in Targa and you'd have a blast.
