if you put that new tire on it may pass.new tire will cost you $40 or so.most likely they will replace all of them. you're looking over $200 for a set installed.that $900+ already for the car.

Dude out at the flea market on Capital Blvd. does used tires for $20 or $25 a pop installed iirc.The clutch is what I'd worry about. That is what will leave you stranded on the side of the road and waiting on a $$$ towing and repair bill. Still, for $700...[Edited on November 12, 2007 at 4:50 PM. Reason : s]

Take the doors off put some new tires on it and toss a clutch in for 145 and run the hell out of it.

sorry i noobed all over the place with imageshackhere are some pics:it was taken for inspection today and there were 2 things that did not pass... it needed new wiper blades (one had a tear in it) and needed 2 new bulbs. My g/f replaced the wiper blades today and they work well, and is going to replace the bulbs asap and have it re-inspected.the tire - it passes inspection, but it has a very slow leak, so she has to fill it up every couple of weeks. that's why i said it would need to be replaced, but it does pass inspectionthe clutch - it's drivable with the clutch on there, but if it was me buying the car it would be one of the first things i'd replace. The car shakes a little at times when idle due to the clutch. You could probably run it ragged for several months before replacing the clutch, but the car would be significantly improved with a new one.
