Is It Worth The Gamble ? Here's My Idea.

1993 LS400- 4 months ago a used car lot took it in on trade and it was running (mileage is currently unknown). http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/400-SEDAN-PA-/160915161592?forcev4exp=true

That is the good picture. It has sat there for 4 months w/o starting- so the the battery is dead (even a jumper box won't start it). The back 2 tires are flat- told me they will air up. Body damage above LR tire (not bad). Last, but not least, the LR door glass was broken out 2 months ago and in Oklahoma, we've had monsoons, wind, dust, & other things.

They are asking $995, they will take $700. Scraping it is worth about $200.

My idea is to have them hook up the jumper box and check the mileage first. 2nd, if it is within reason, throw in a battery to see if it starts and runs. If it does indeed run and drive- offer $500 max and if they don't take it- walk off and wait for the phone call. I'd like to have it to pull my motorcycles, etc. If it craps out- scrap it.

That's the story- lmk me know what you think. I'm going to have fun with it. Thanks.
