A frustrated coupe owner ???

CLICKY

It was all looking good until I read that the seller won't ship it to Nigeria for my cousin's brother

Such an honest description, I'm tempted to buy it.

It is advertised as a shed, so I plan to keep chickens in it.

If he's really a Fiat enthusiast none of what he describes should really phase him. Sounds like fairly normal stuff for an 18 year old coupe. Nothing there that couldn't be sorted, but he has just 'lost the love'! A brutally honest description, which is quite refreshing.

Yep, nothing in that description that would scare me off if I was looking for a fun cheap runabout, knowing that there would be work to do in the first year. Somebody’s going to grab a bargain there.

Indeed. If it was closer I'd probably take a gamble on it.

An interesting psychological approach, setting up tempting challenges for the knowledgeable buyer.

Transparency, transparency!
The ad at least makes an interesting read.

Lets be honest, sadly many "everyday" coupe's are in the same state and will not around much longer unless more of us undertake such projects?!?!

But as it costs the same to restore a turbo as a non turbo, the non turbos are surely going to get a lot rarer?

You make it sound as if turbo models are automatically more desirable than non turbos to everyone?

I think it cost more to own a turbo fuel maintenance servicing insurance etc.

But I still want a turbo. 💰
