How much to pay for work car?

Gents, while looking through a local paper I came across a '93 Honda Del Sol. It has a knocking rod and no radio. Says make offer. What do you think I may offer? Rebuild the motor and tranny too probably and use it for a DD. Thoughts?

I wouldn't give over $500. But your gonna have to probably spend at least that in parts? I guess i would save my time and effort and just spend the $1000 on a car that is already driveable.

My work car is a 95 buick century, gets 32 mpg, auto, cruise full power everything. I drive 70 miles per day. It doesnt look like much but it is the best $1000 i have ever spent. My jeep stays in the garage all nice and clean

Are you sure it's still a Jeep?

Do you let your wife keep your balls in her purse all nice and clean too?
