I didn't know boomers bought MR2s

So craigslist thread?

I see that one deal breaker is if the seller doesn't speak English, but have you guys ever bought the car anyway because of a really good deal?

Eg. Someone in my area is selling a 09 sonata for under 2k.

Idk if it's self supercharged or just a replacement engine. But still

>no test drives unless you make a deal

If we make a deal for me to own it, then its no longer really a test drive, its just me driving my car.

>Normally aspirated

I stopped there. Who here can explain why?
The reason might astound you!

I'll just leave this here.

This guy has been trying to sell it for months, first time it was $28k.

There are lots of scams. Most of them are just phishing for your email and stuff.

But if you met the person and checked out the car, could just be a good deal. I've had good deals from CL.

>na
>5sfe

well no shit.

I'd be interested at like 18k. That's a nice truck. Try to buy one like that new today it would be around 60k with all the non-luxury options, just stuff like tow package and lsd.

>Non refundable deposit for a test drive
What a cunt

You can tell he gets a lot of shit for it. Diesel or not...It's an 18yr old TRUCK. You could buy 2-4 medium duty dump trucks for the same cost.

Hold my beer.

what can they do with email and name?

You can buy the same truck 10 years newer for 18k.

>must buy car before you can drive it
the biggest red flag warning you to not buy a car I have ever seen

Can't wait for that generation to be gone holy fuck.

No I'm texting the guy, but his English is bretty bad

Prices are going up for the MR2, especially turbo sw20s

The only MR2's in my area are trash let alone not Turbo. I don't know where I could find a clean turbo SW20 without traveling hundreds of miles.

boomers ruin everything

is this worth checking out?

>fwd

Not in a million years.

why is fwd considered a bad thing though? sorry i dont know fuck-all about cars.

>no testdrives unless you make a deal
what does that even mean

Slow, no fun/drifting.

It's the grocery-getter drivetrain. If you don't know shit about cars, it's made for you though.

it means they want you to buy the car before you get to inspect it. i.e. they're trying to screw you hard. walk away.

do americlaps pronounce craigslist as "kregg's list"?

>No drifting

I beg to differ, I can pull drifts in all sorts of civics and other fwd piles.

Though I have experience.

Veeky Forums thinks that they are all mad drifters, when in reality most peoples wheels aren't slipping 99.999%+ of the time and it makes no difference whether its AWD/FWD/RWD

can't afford another accident so i suppose this is a good thing.

Don't you have to work the handbrake harder than you do down at the local glory hole, though?

FR's just easier all around to do it in and gives you more options for getting the slide started.

I think your confusing drifting with skidding.

I don't drive an FF except for my shitty chebby shitbox that's so topheavy it'd probably roll if I tried "drifting" it, so I dunno.

Wouldn't an FF just right itself it you started trying to throw the weight around as you enter a corner like in an FF, or tried to break traction using just the brakes or whatever?

>he doesn't know about liftoff oversteer
Do you even drift or are you pretending?

I don't do it typically, on tight corners you're always going to be braking and downshifting going in. It's kind of situational unless you drive a terribly-balanced shitbox.

Sure, liftoff is great if you have a high-speed corner with a lot of space. Shit everywhere else in most applications.

>terribly balanced
FF

or anything with the engine in the ass, really.

Lookin' at you, MR2

MR is great for balance, it's just that you have to literally stay balanced, you take one step too fast or slow and it punishes you.
Sort of like a cup that's wide at the top and thin at the bottom, as soon as it transfers too harshly it's over.
In a nutshell you're correct about FF, but in a nutshell if the only thing you find fun in driving is drifting you're a literal meme.
Try a good FF car, it's rather fun to drive a laser guided missile sometimes.

The good ones all get ruined or beaten to death by boiracer Honda fanboys though.

Have always wanted to try an Integra or one of the civic hatches though

Those are Stock AW11-B wheels.
>SC Dash cluster
>SC Engine cover
>Post '86 chassis and bodypanels.
Signs point to original engine. Only other thing you could look for is the gearbox no pics of that though. (or you know, get the VIN and run that)

>recently rebuilt
>40k miles since rebuild

it's in a facebook sales group

>ae86
>$30,000
>adm, which is the equivalent of a converted SR5 in the US
>it's clean, but holy fucking shit

thirty thousand fucking dollars

bambina or topolino costs more

>restored by Dave

They actually made someone have to put that together for them.
I thought that was the point of fixing up cars yourself.
>I can't make some dude put this piece of shit together for me that's just embarrassing.

Wtf lmao.

Posting the cleanest unmolested mr2 in this thread by far

>wanting a car a little old lady bought and thought was cool

I bet that old lady was a whore when she was younger.
>grandmas so cute she bought that little sporty car
>not considering grandmas sketchy past where she knows about an mr2

>paying for a test drive

Something about that paint seems off

Part 2

Part 3

I HAVE A FIRM UNDERSTANDING OF THE VALUE OF WHICH I POSSESS, SIR

MAKE IT STOP

BUT IT WAS BUILT AND RESTORED BY DAVE

Stop parroting wrong things you learned from FurryCarReviews, you fuckstick.

I should tell him I'll buy it as soon as I test drive it. Then hoon it, come back, and call off the deal

losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/6085818754.html

I shit you not I bought that MR2 about two weeks ago

it's funny since the actual value of something is how much someone is willing to fucking pay for it
Yes some cars are overpriced and you know I bet they fucking sold them too. People in this thread are only bitching cause saggy baller in sanfran is getting paid and they aren't

Go start a fucking used car lot ya god damned faggots.

Nah they're just taxed to shit desu. I get shit all day for paying 5k for a bone stock unmodded original everything Integra GSR, 115 on the clock. Nobody wants that pricing for an Integra. Personally I've put over 10k miles on it and it's cost me 300 dollars in maintenance and I still grin every time I drive it, it was well worth it. This car is a dream from the factory, I'd prefer more low end sure but I've been trying to figure out a way to do that without changing the entire character, it's literally a complete packaged experience.
But look here now you've got me rambling

>
>I shit you not I bought that MR2 about two weeks ago
Did you pay 8500 for it?

Only managed to haggle him down to 8k. Guy was a boomer who used to work in communications for congress or something like that. You could tell he was just getting too old to drive this thing.

As far as the car goes, it looks and runs like a champ. Everything in the interior works. A/C works. Only complaints are the leather seats are beat to shit and it leaks a bit of oil every once in a while.

Have fun being stuck in the snow bank senpai :/

If it weren't for the headlights being color, the doors being retarded and the dash being yellow for whatever reason this would be okay as far as looks. Obviously not for that price, fuck that.

take that hot ass black leather off your hood

It's been off, famalam. They look awful on MR2s to be quite honest.

Ok which one of you is this

I think I posted it but it is not me.

An 86' 4cly with 200,000 miles... 9 grand? Are you fucking retarded lmao.

You spent 8k on a 33 year old 4 cly with 200,000 miles ? Fuck lmao

Better than a financed 4cyl civic I suppose :'^)

Has anyone ever bought a car from someone who didn't want to give the vin over the phone? I just see it as a huge red flag even though the car looks good

No test drives? Is that a thing in America? How does that work?

My truck has 170K miles, will you give me 10k for it?

I hope you snap oversteer into a pack of niggers and get raped.

>paying turbo sw20 money for an na aw11

Don't worry bby I'll take good of her

>pigfat

Alright guys I need some advice then how much should I offer all comparable cars are about the same price online and the cheaper ones are salvage and rebuilt I've never bought anything of Craigslist yet any helpful info would help houston.craigslist.org/cto/6060024030.html

>sw20
>pigfat

Memes aside I was originally going for the sw20 but my area is devoid of them. The aw11 has grown on me a lot since I got it. Hope to keep it going for another 30 years assuming I don't snap oversteer by then.

How do these people actually think they are going to get back the money they put into this shit? Ricing your car is not an investment.

miami.craigslist.org/brw/cto/6075465154.html

Or you know a low mileage used car. Lol

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks.
