Thread: SOMEONE PLEASE BUY THIS! (I feel so distraught reading this lowball ad)

^^^Lol. Like a shark getting the scent of blood. Its a good looking car.

I been speaking with him. There is very little rust. The talk of rust came from the guys here. Here are the interior pics:

Engine:

Backseat.



If the timing were right, I would have bought this already. I am just sick to my stomach that I cannot get it at this moment.

I can see rust in the engine compartment, but you are right, I didn't know this car can have such nice interrior, so now I smell blood too

Damn that interior is miiiiint.

He stated that the rust is in the door jambs, and it's not a lot. He also said that he really wants to keep the car, but he can't devote enough time to it. Sounds like the same issue I have

Looks like something worth having a local member check out. Seems to be sold already, though

I'd buy the interior in a heartbeat if someone needs the shell.

I dont see anything low ball about this add.

This car does not run. It has 184,000 miles and has a bad motor.

Average cost to replace motor.

$500 for motor
$800 for motor install.
$200-$600 to get car home via tow service

This car should not sell for more than $700.

OR:

$100 in gas towing with your own car hauler
$0 for motor you have in your garage already
$0 for motor install (If you can't at least ATTEMPT to do an install and you're on this forum, slap yourself )

Cliff.

a motor still has a price. So if you own it or not it is still an investment into the car. The labor done to the car for free by yourself or someone paying to do it is still part of the investment.

With your logic if the car is worth $2500 in percfect running condition and you have a motor and spare time on the weekend, then you should buy it at $2500 with a blown motor.

Dre,

You're skewing the "logic" a bit. The car was listed at $550. That's a steal no matter the motor. It could have been a clean rolling shell with no motor, and that's still a damn good price.

The motor has a price? Not really. It's a write off because it's a hobby.

Investing time as a hobby is not the same as saying "time equals money", in my book. You run a business so your view is different from mine.
