Christmas
Tis the season! I have my eye on another 90 VDP, this one is black. Its in better shape than my daily Satin Beige driver. Guy says it won't run, sputters while starting. What am I looking at here, any insight would be helpful. If I can get him to $500, no more than $650 it will be my christmas present to myself
I'll give more info after I go see the car in about a half hour.

Twins!
Merry Christmas to me! I bought it! Black 90VDP. It has been sitting for 3 years. The interior is a 10 out of 10. First purchase was a new battery 125$.
It has 3 little dings on the outside and needs a wash and wax badly.
She won't start. She will run for a bit with starter fluid then stalls out. I am re-reading posts on this issue. As always I will keep you updated on the progress.

Yes, congratulations indeed. Very exciting - I'm rather envious! A full tune up is good advice, but it sounds like your non-start is fuel related. Check or have the pressure checked. Could be what else? Fuel pump, relay, pressure regulator, bad gas? If you are getting spark, it's a simple process of elimination that will result in you having one heck-of-a-car for very little money. And, you'll have two of them! I was tracking an XJ40 on ebay a while that was quite nice, and I suggested, somewhat tongue-in-cheek to my wife that we go in for the 'his and hers' OR, to be much more precise, 'his and his other one.' Needless to say, I didn't get it.
Cheers!

Check your local craigslist every 3 weeks or so, or 100 miles in any direction. You'll find them. Its a buyers market as well. To may is an old car they just want to get rid of, to us its like finding gold. You can get a great car for under 1k. And even much lower than that with your offer.
