I found a 2006 Saab 9.2x Aero with 140k miles. The body looks a bit rough. The interior looks well "used". The wheels have some crappy plastidip/rattle can on them. Auto trans. It's an hour and a half from me.

Owner claims engine was rebuilt at 90k, and now needs a water pump.

This car looks pretty thrashed, but less than a lot of the fan boy cars around here.

KBB/NADA call it a $4500 car. He's asking $5000. I'd need a water pump (trivial) and a manual trans (less trivial).

Is $4500 out of line for a donor? What does the forum experience think?
