RE: {Chrysler 300} Possible 56 B project for sale in California

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the problem with buying one 'done' is that you don't know the quality of workmanship that went into the car. Sure, it has nice, shiny paint. But what's underneath the paint ? Do the brakes squeal and pull every time you step on the pedal ? Will the car accelerate smoothly or bog down ? Is the wiring harness crusty original or has it been redone (correctly) ? This is especially an issue on 55-6 Chrysler products, where the harness is cloth rather than vinyl.

 

If you buy a car that's 'done' but has a few issues, are those issues going to cost you thousands additional because you lack the skills, interest, or physical prowess to fix the problems, and as a result, have to trust your baby to a mechanic that likely has no clue how to repair a letter car ?

 

If I buy a car that needs significant work at a much cheaper price and do the work myself, then I know the quality of work that's going into the car. And, unlike a mechanic, I can take as much time as I need to get it right. And that 2000 brake job is now going to cost me 200 for the parts. Labor is free.

 

Happy Holidays,

 

Ron

Always buy one “done” with minor issues to be corrected otherwise you’re really perfecting the car for the next owner at your expense
