think this z24 is worth $500?

First time ive tried to post a pic but theres a guy near me i found on craigs list with this 89 z24 for $500... says it needs a battery and when he was changing spark plugs he cross threaded one... If i remember right they make a special tool you can rent at autozone for that... either way i still got the good 3.1 from my lumina i could swap out... Looks good in the pic and gonna go see it probly monday... If the pic doesnt show then just ignore this... i would erase it if i knew how if it doesnt... seems like its a pretty good deal though!

Jump on that. Short of it being trashed inside, I would buy it for 500 even if the motor was blown.

He says the interior is good... but heck by the way the outside looks i still think it would be worth it... This morning my 03 dodge cummins 4x4 front wheel bearing fell apart... and my car blew a tire yesterday evening...So now my extra moneys is gone... Maybe ill get to this car before someone else does... we will see! that my vehicle luck! Worse vehicle luck then anyone i know...

It looks like a good deal. As long as you are prepared to put work in it mechanically if there are any issues.

Naw it wont bother me... i worked at Nissan for a bit and was a FA/18 engine mech in the marine corps... swapping heads or a motor isnt a big deal... actully not sure if i could just swap the heads or if i would have to do the whole motor... may as well swap the whole motor and drop in a cam and port and polish the heads with a rebuild while its all out... dont really care to do much more... but killed a hub assembly in the front of my 03 cummins so extra moneys gone for now... Hope he still has it in a week!
