Default Door panels

Good morning, I looked at a 94 C4 yesterday,to purchase, the only things wrong with the car, it seems to be missing some clips on the door panels. Not such a big deal right. Also the weather stripping near the bottom side of the back window has come away from the body, it is not leaking now but I would like to replace if I buy the car. Is this a major problem?
94 C4 45,000 orig miles got the price down to 13,000

Thanks

Those aren't major problems, the door panel problem comes mainly from people not using the door pulls to close the door.

The rear weatherstripping is that way on just about every car, I have to do mine also.

Where are you looking? It's not classic cars by Onyx is it?

Hi, I had to do both of these things to my car. I wouldn't consider it a big deal. If its the only thing wrong with th car, go for it. The clips are easy after taking the door panel off. As far as teh weather stripping, depending on how bad it is, you can probally just use the adhesive to glue it back down.

No it is not I have an opinion about those people, I would post it but it is just my opinion. I think they get some nice cars in good shape but high mileage and high prices. What do you have to say about them.

If you are talking about the rear weatherstrip, you can get it for $99 in the Corvette Mall, it only takes about 30 minutes to change it. Door clips I don't know about.

I personally haven't dealt with them, but I know a few people who have. Like you mentioned, they are high priced. They try and suck you into a lease.

I haven't been to Platinum Motors either.
