ITT: we post ads for cars we are considering buying. Other people tell us why we should or shouldnt buy them and the whole thing descends into a shitpost party full of miatas and busriders by about post 50.
looks to be in decent shape, might wanna ask for recepits on any (if any) work's been done on it. but for the price, not bad
Asher Barnes
I'll start.
93 Suzuki sidekick. Asking 3000 . It's a lot for a 1993 econotruck but it looks like it's in flawless condition, guy clearly loved this thing. Thinking about it, maybe see if I can bring him down to 2.5k. Please view this ad:
Yeah, I'd definitely ask for a service history and all of that, as well as take it to a shop for a quick inspection. It seems almost too good for the price.
Henry Reed
If Jesus was alive today, he'd definitely drive a Geo Tracker. Cop cop cop
Thinking of a sporty DD, could get this for around ~£13,500. I hardly ever see motorways so outright speed doesn't really bother me. It's cheap to run, plus the satin white is my favourite colour along with galaxy blue but they're like hens teeth around here.
Connor Long
It's a good car, a 2012 is easily worth the 21k USD. Not sure why you'd spend that much dough on an aggressive sports car that will barely see the 5th gear, but if you have the disposable income, why not?
Jaxson Reed
How many more posts untill I can squeeze out some shit? Just wondering how fast I should get drunk?
Elijah Perry
Go right ahead. Because Corvettes are a better choice than gt-rs and there is zero proof to the contrary.
Wyatt Thomas
Guys I'm buying a '93 miats from my uncle and I'm set on it, but try to tell me why I shouldn't anyway
Joshua Myers
assmad gmcucks etc.
Cameron Rodriguez
>uncle miata you've probably earned it already kid
Muh classic car insurance. Should I buy it and give it a real front end?
Julian Hughes
Wonder-rated toast
John James
Lol he's implying my uncle molested me guys
Ryan Nguyen
Whilst I don't think a GT-86 will fit in Glen Park, I do think that you should wait a while as the GT86s have been steadily depreciating. If you wait another year, you'll get it for sub £10k.
The only thing I'm leary about are the miles, and whats the deal with all those "failed emissions inspection/passed emissions inspections" in the carfax?
Also dat initially purchased date
Logan Murphy
Way fucking overpriced dude. I would pay 10k MAX and it'd have to be showroom condition. That failed/passed emissions bullshit is another red flag, it means he let it deteriorate to the point where he HAD to maintain it to be legally drivable.
Do NOT buy this vehicle, it is overpriced and the stealership seems sketchy as fuck. You're buying a polished turd.
John Nguyen
Small, old cars are great. Go for it.
Automatic, and $11,000 is expensive for a 14 year old car with >100,000 miles. Nope.
Yea thats pretty cheap for a 2010 ferrari. if you can afford it id say go for it all the way.
Eli Cook
Random question, but why are mg midgets so cheap? Saw a few on Kijiji (Canadian gumtree) for under 6000 CAD. Are they shit slow or just really common?
Chase Diaz
Made a thread but it got hijacked by shitposters.
C/N? I don't know why it's so cheap. There is also an AE92 GT-S for $1800 and another AE92 for $2000 but that one needs an a/c compressor. Also a 1994 Civic CX hatch that is absolutely mint for $2000 OBO
Wyatt Harris
They're common, slow, spartan, and *tiny*.
Nathan Carter
They're that slow, they were the volume seller so there's a decent pool of them still around and many of the British sports car enthusiasts probably aim higher at MGB's, Spitfires', and bigger Austin-Healey's.
Neat cars though especially if you can get a low rust, reasonably straight runner for that price.
God I hate this shit, but I want a GT T/P and this one is actually fairly close to me
Brandon Stewart
Nothing much, just advising another user to join the MG club.
Jordan Perez
What was the name of this porno?
Jonathan Cooper
Nvm, Xenobiology
Colton Reyes
Call them and ask for a price. If the response starts with "well..." just hang up then and there. It'll end up being massive fuck around.
Joshua Smith
Call them. Usually they just run to their sales manager and ask for a quick quote, then try to set up an appointment for you to come in and look at it.
Adrian Davis
Oh, speaking of which, I saw a Spitfire for sale too, but the ad's a little weird, mainly because it's a Mk2 body on a Mk3 chassis. Don't really know how I'd get it insured, since I don't know what it falls under.
Dude go for the firebird, I don't think that guy knows what he has
Jeremiah Robinson
This could go either way, might wanna ask for deets
Michael Phillips
When a private seller puts "as is" it's ALWAYS a warning sign. Think about it, a private seller isn't going to give a warranty, so it's implied caveat emptor with all sales. If they go out of their way to say "as is", it means they know there's something wrong with it and want to make it clear they won't be taking it back.
Having said that it's a sweet price broski. Have a mechanic go through it with a fine tooth comb and if he doesn't notice anything, cop.
Aiden Mitchell
Time to shitpost
Michael Ramirez
Self bump. Can nobody tell me whether this sidekick is a good decision or not? Put off by the price but at that age it's all about the maintenance and buddy seemed like he treated it as if it were holy.
Made a thread about this but it backfired. I'm going to see this next Sunday regardless, should I buy it though? Things I should look out for? What should I offer him?
Dude you're looking at a rusty old oldsmobile. I bet you're the only person who is going to go look at it, and if you aren't then everyone who is is going to lowball the shit out of the seller. Offer like $1k, or $500 if you're ballsy.
From what I can see there are a LOT of better cars in Boston for $2k.
Jeremiah Perez
cop or not? my oem plastic-capped radiator is on the verge of crumbling apart. I'd rather not replace it with another plastic one. This one is $257
Jeremiah Moore
How long did the plastic one last? Might not be worth the extra expense if the plastic one will last a decade.
Michael Watson
If you're going to plunk 5k or so into restoration, do it. It'd be a fun project and its definitely salvageable. At least you can get some engine upgrades and a slick paint job.
If you're a NEET poorfag who is going to roll around in that rustbox thinking he's a G, doing no maintenance other than a bit of wrenching you might as well laminate that v-card because you're never going to lose it. It'll be cringey as hell friendo.
Owen Cooper
The plastic one lasted about 100k miles. The extra cooling capacity, all aluminum construction, and good looks are worth it I think. If I could find an OEM style radiator with aluminum end caps I'd just get that but they don't make those.
Hudson Turner
1992 Ford Thunderbird Lx 160k miles Near perfect condition, has 0 rust, perfect interior. Previous owner restored it, spent 3100$, a lot og engine and hose stuff.
Wants 2200 and my S10 (1000$ value) Pic is very similar to what it looks like. I have driven it, it drives great. It's really spectacular, the condition is amazing.
Christian Ortiz
a month ago, there were quite a few better choices in my area, but now all there is that's in my budget are these two beauties
Dude. That is a shit trim, 25 year old bmw with 200k miles on it from a coastal area. In what fucking retarded universe is that worth $5k?
Charles Myers
>i didn't look through ad
>Mfw I missed the car i wanted
2 days ago there was a 91 318is with black sport seats, bbs style 5s and h&r race Springs in the same exterior color listed for 6 grand.
Camden Ortiz
Believe me fucko I read the ad.
I don't give a fuck about what stupid shit and or misguided love that moron put in his beamer. That rusty pos isn't worth $5k.
Connor Edwards
No fucktard I'm saying I (as in the faggot who posted the ad in the first place) didn't read the ad. There was a very nice one I had already seen that I wanted, the ad I posted was the incorrect one and the one I wanted sold within the last 24 hours. I got the exteriors confused because they were the same color.
Evan Lewis
Well shit senpai don't use ambiguous quotes when criticizing yourself then. Otherwise people might get the wrong idea.
Alexander Davis
>hartford.craigslist.org/cto/5598150271.html >car was sitting for awhile though and since then stopped working On the upside, the body looks clean as fuck for spending 26+ years in the rust belt.
I haven't actually checked it out yet, so the underbody could actually be straight fucked.
Lincoln Evans
Yeah I realized what happened sorry senpai.
It's getting hard to find good E30s, there is an enthusiast shop here on island. Most i see on craig is t are asking 3 times what they're worth and all the nice and properly priced ones go in like 12 hours or less.
Aaron Sanders
that bitch is fucked, but if you really want it take it but only if you can talk him down below 1k
Thomas Miller
>On the upside, the body looks clean as fuck for spending 26+ years in the rust belt. Galvanized body, man.
Ian Morris
I'll keep that in mind if I go to check it out.
I didn't think it would be that effective, but it certainly shows.
Isaac Young
>Hartford
Kayden Gray
I'm going to restore it, not some nigger rolling around Boston putting 24" Nignog wheels on it.
Stuff will be done here and there, maybe headers, exhaust, carb, etc.
Kevin Price
I don't understand your memes, sir. If you're implying Hartford is a shithole city I'll agree with you, but I don't live there nor is the car anywhere near that place.
Ethan Green
You linked Hartford craigslist, I assumed you lived there
