Hello I am looking into buying this 1989 firebird for $1500, and in thenotes it says"minor wiring problem: starter need rewiring, not getting juice to starter- (easy fix for mechanically inclined)does not affect driveability. Has a toggle switch for the fan. Was wondering if this is easy fix like ground being bad or similar? And how to tell when looking at car, I mean it says car runs and problem does not affect driveablility.

Just my opinion, I won't buy anything I can't test drive. I've seen better cars sell for less. You can't even testdrive the car, correct? Maybe you have a famly member or friend that good around cars, ask what they think. Bottom line, it is your money, your decision.

It said didn't affect driveability so was assuming that could test drive, was just wondering if the issue listed sounded about right or if maybe was more of headache.

Older vehicles are always a headache. I gave you my opinion, do what you think is best.
