Hi,My friend about to purchase an e12 1980 520. The engine was changed to a same one 4 years ago, running on Webber caburator & it's road worthy.Asking RM4000....how? :unsure:
Check the BODY rusts , steering, absorber, steering system, seats, gearbox, ability to drive to say 100/110/120/130 km/h, able to corner hard, pour water and find leaks, windows, suspension system, aircond etc etc... If not, see how much $$ and time are u willing to spend? Are u DIY person? Do u have trusted mechanics?
u must have passion to own the car... best if u can get another e12 owners to share your passion and how to do up the car...
I suppose one can't go wrong with RM4k (I think these days RM4k can only get you a late model Proton Tiara and that car is nowhere near the E12). Certainly repairs would be needed given the car's age, but the E12 is a classic and in my humble opinion looks better than the E28.
