am i too picky on this 70 vert for 35k?!
am i being too picky?
if im paying 35k for a car
i dont want a misaligned hood, or an incorrect button on the a/c controls, or bad carpet door panel jobs.
and thats just at first glance seeing the pics and not seeing it in person.
i can only imagine what i'll find in person.
thoughts?

It is a very nice car, but I struggle to believe that it is worth that much. Some of the things that are wrong are not difficult or expensive to fix, but it makes you question the overall quality.

As always, it's entertaining reading everyone's comments on these cars but, honestly, should any of us really be surprised? There are precious few of these cars that are put together properly by people who actually care about them and consider themselves caretakers.
The overwhelming majority of cars put up for sale are hastily painted an eye catching shade and then slapped together with a few catalog parts to make them look good for the camera and people who have no real knowledge but a pocketful of cash. Unfortunately, cars like this are probably little more than mechanical junk requiring a knowledgeable person to meticulously go through them just to get them to a condition we would consider presentable.
Having said that, continue on! Always interesting to read the comments.

The vacuum module is missing from the intake, so no the cruise doesnt work.
And the intake has an EGR valve on it, so the motor(or at minimum, the intake) is from 1973 or later.
This is just a used car lot special, put together with no attention to detail, and way over priced.

That carpet is just gross. Especially on the door panels. Stuff like this never ceases to amaze me.
After the trim shop got done putting that nauseous carpet on the door panels, could anyone in their right mind step back and say: "gosh. Now that looks better"
