Skip Smith Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Greetings, Reatta owners! Several weeks ago, a couple of SW Mizzurah geezers rescued a '90 Reatta that had sat in a backyard in a small town in SW MO for at least 7 years, reason unknown. The car is missing instrument cluster/bezel, otherwise seems to be complete. The car starts, runs, stops, transaxle must be shifted under the hood, console shifter doesn't work. Power steering leaks, maybe hoses. A myriad of other probs. Photos will be posted in the near future. My partner and I will be offering the car in "as-is" condition as a parts car. Contact info will accompany photos. Skip Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Like that is pretty much a "parts car". All depends on the condition of the body and chassis. Parts are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Smith Posted June 2, 2021 Topic Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Body is pretty good, as far as I can tell. There is rust-through at the front edge of both rear wheel openings. Leather is in fair condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 " reason unknown" what happens when you do not mow the lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Smith Posted June 14, 2021 Topic Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 We're asking $1750.00 for the '90 Reatta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2seater Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 There would need to be some other very compelling reason to pay that much for a parts car, especially sight unseen. Remove that first digit after the $ and it would be closer to the value, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I've bought 5 parts cars and have yet to spend more then $500.00 for the purchase price. Just about a year ago I bought a high mileage [190,000 miles] 1988 that was a 10 inside, 8 outside for $1000.00. The ABS or A/C doesn't work, but it is a great running car.

Padgett Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I usually figure a grand each if AC or ABS doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
