    Here is a link to a mav I looked at today. this car has virtually no rust to speak of. I checked everywhere I could think of and all looks good. What do you guys think. He will take $1200. Good buy or not. Thanks for your input.

    If everything checks out,cowls,torque boxes,ect.$1200 isn't bad at all.

    Torque boxes are good I did not pour any water down the cowl to see if it drained inside or out, but with the way the rest of the car is I would assume its alright.

    You have bought enough Mavs you know the problem areas so what are you waiting for you better buy it before someone else does, you know you could get more than that parting it

    I just have to look at my wife and she says where are we going now :huh:

    I have been so busy trying to get my car going and spending all my money on it that I have let several go by, the cure to the addiction is being broke :cry:

    Nice score on the car, how many do you have now?
