dave833 Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I'm looking at an '87 Brat for sale in my area. It's a 5spd GL with 182K on the odometer, moderate rust but nothing appears terminal yet, straight body except for the LR quater which is bashed in along with the taillight and back bumper- looks like it could be pulled out though, exhaust system is shot, seats are torn but covered, started easily but killed once, then seemed to idle fine. I didn't get to drive it, but moved it back and forth a little and the clutch seemed good. A/C is there but no belt, no power steering. Good tires and chrome aftermarket wheels. The owner wants $800- is that a good deal? I paid $225 for my '84 GL coupe and $100 for my '90 Loyale wagon, both in better shape than this one, but I've always wanted a Brat... any advice would be appreciated. (I'm not really anxious to go back to a carb though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 unless it's been converted to a 5 speed, it would have had a 4 speed stock... look at the floorboards in the cab behind the seats. check underneath too, as they tend to get soft....

Jibs Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Check the CV's too as they are pricey to have replaced. I'd try to talk the guy into a little lower if you could, but otherwise it isn't too bad of a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
