1975 Comet w/6 cylinder

75_comet · 2012-06-16, 01:24

I found a 1975 Comet 2-dr 6-cylinder car that has 80,000 miles on it. The body is in great shape with no rust and is a reliable daily driver. The guy is wanting 1200 for it, is this a good price?

Looks to be a good car for the price....

Did they take the bumpers off to get better gas mileage?

I have no idea...I haven't seen the car yet, I am waiting for him to get back with me.

I am going to go look at it later today. If it's in good shape, it will be my daily driver.

I think the price is fair if no rust and runs good. Gives you a little way of $$$ to make some repairs on it if needed and I'm sure it will need something.

The bumpers are missing. I suspect due to rust. Get under that car and have a look. If you see ANY rust holes, especially in the frame....run away.

I will be sure to do that, I am going to look at the car tomorrow. He said that it has a clean title and the bumpers will come with the car. I'm definitely going to look for rust, it looks too good to be true.
