If your spending around 1000-2000 range well it could and will need some work probably but what car doesnt. do not be afraid to make an offer, I've been in car sales since 1988. My daughters 94 blk GT vert w/ white leather unmolested cant believe how nice it drives, was on Craigslist for 5000. dropped to 4500, I offered 3000, he said 4000 I looked at it offered 2500 (he needed to sell, dont be afraid to ask personal questions) I walked away few days later I get it for 2600. 1 year and all I replaced was the hydralic motors for the top and shocks and struts. yep there are winners and losers out there and I'm sure everybody can tell you they got a steal of a car or one heck of a nightmare. Just go slow and look at a few and you will quickly see things and notice what to look for. good luck
my green /white 92 vert i paid 700 dollars for it put a battery in it and a good cleaning .my wife drove that car for five years .no rust no problems but an elderly lady owned it and maintained it ....sold that car for 2800.00 and it needed a new top that was it .The guy who bought it liked it because it was rust free ....so there are definately deal s out there just be careful...
