if you put that new tire on it may pass.
new tire will cost you $40 or so.
most likely they will replace all of them. you're looking over $200 for a set installed. that $900+ already for the car. 11/12/2007 4:25:06 PM |

Dude out at the flea market on Capital Blvd. does used tires for $20 or $25 a pop installed iirc.
The clutch is what I'd worry about. That is what will leave you stranded on the side of the road and waiting on a $$$ towing and repair bill. Still, for $700...

sorry i noobed all over the place with imageshack
here are some pics:
it was taken for inspection today and there were 2 things that did not pass... it needed new wiper blades (one had a tear in it) and needed 2 new bulbs. My g/f replaced the wiper blades today and they work well, and is going to replace the bulbs asap and have it re-inspected.
the tire - it passes inspection, but it has a very slow leak, so she has to fill it up every couple of weeks. that's why i said it would need to be replaced, but it does pass inspection
the clutch - it's drivable with the clutch on there, but if it was me buying the car it would be one of the first things i'd replace. The car shakes a little at times when idle due to the clutch. You could probably run it ragged for several months before replacing the clutch, but the car would be significantly improved with a new one. 11/12/2007 7:47:29 PM |
