AE86
seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/6209505605.html

Negotiate that price, yo.

This worth it for 8000?

Hood and interior is pretty fucked

phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/cto/6185890053.html

He's not saying he's having a hard time selling it, he saying he's having a hard time giving it up.
Although that could mean no one wants to buy it.

Even if it has issues though, that's an amazing price for a running meme-mobile. I would totally buy that and restore it if necessary.

Looking to replace my 2011 Civic LX.
Just want something fun.

I think you get the idea of the stuff I'm looking at.

The Acura legend looks pretty cool IMO.

WHY THE FUCK do these owners not clean the interior when taking pics in an attempt to sell it? Irritates the shit out if me. I'd never buy a car with dirty interior pics. Says a lot about the scumbag owner's attitude toward their car

I'm very partial to the SC400. My buddy had one back in the day and it was such a nice ride. Smooth as fuck.

However I have to agree with , that Legend is in really beautiful condition. Toughy

It's no 3k Civic but I'd say this thing is awesome for the price

capecod.craigslist.org/cto/6218258979.html

And now for something completely different... would be great to turn one of these into a bugout/apocalypse mobile

capecod.craigslist.org/cto/6193267561.html

Yeah it's automatic... but super affordable speed machine. Killer deal

capecod.craigslist.org/cto/6181292043.html

Don't think I'd be a retard to sell what I have and use these as DDs?

newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/6184836582.html

Asking price wayyyyy too high for a non turbo with that many miles imo, doesn't matter how "mint" it is. If it was a turbo I'd agree

No I don't think you'd be too poor off. The Legend will probably get better mpg than the SC. Get insurance quotes for both cars. If your current car has 4 doors, realize you'll look cooler but be more limited when it comes to stuff that used to be easy, ie moving stuff. Also check if either car requires premium fuel, because that shit sucks- my car needs it and it's much more expensive. If the stock compression ratio is 10:1 or higher, chances are you'll need premium.

Best of luck sucka

One down side of the Legend is it almost has 200k miles

SR5 is not an AE86. Stupid spics.

miami.craigslist.org/brw/cto/6211416491.html could also pretend I'm ludacris.

Agreed, that is high, but Jap cars are pretty good about high miles so long as you keep it up and take care of it. Besides, 193k on a 26 year old car means 7,424 miles per year, way less than the average 12,000

Huh, looked up the VIN and it said that edmund's gave it a price range of 1700-2k...

newyork.craigslist.org/stn/cto/6214299838.html

Anything obviously bad to look out for ?

Is that cunt trying to pull an Itsuki?

thoughts ?

>newyork.craigslist.org/stn/cto/6214299838.html
VW miles can be turned back easy with OBD, check carfax to see original miles

any other opinions?

Get a load of this guy; he'll need to drop a zero to sell this.

buy it

miami.craigslist.org/brw/cto/d/prelude/6203239265.html
theres gotta be a catch

>Paint is shit
>No interior pics
>Probably has zero maintenance done

I would avoid this one, user

Ok, now that's cool, buy and fix/10.

This is just wrong.
Mazda RX 7 1991

reno.craigslist.org/cto/6201128164.html

>non turbo
>11,500
Fuck no. Although it was a turbo then $11,500 is in the right ballpark.

It can't be as bad as this.

Texas user really wants it

>automatic

ehhhh

>Automatic

>seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/6209505605.html

ive looked at this car and its owned by some white chick you dumb fuck. Noone wants to buy it because its over priced, there's a dent in the driver side and the passenger lower rockers have rust and the engine bay is filthy as fuck.

I know auto tragic :^( but the standards seem to cost more and have more wear from people abusing them

go get a quote from a mechanic to see what dropping a manual in it would cost and deduct that from the asking price of the car.

mohave.craigslist.org/cto/d/mach-mustang-cobra-jet/6221133154.html

God its so garbage

Jump on it. I see some fantastic saabs come up once in a while for a steal. I got a great 2003 9-5 aero for $3800. That's a better deal though; looks nicer than mine.

>house of collars paint

God fucking shit my sides

...

She wanted the Lincoln, asshole.

T..t..this guy can't be serious?
>inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/d/ford-model-project/6194868602.html

fucking bizzaro world. usually its a rusted piece of shit with no motor, transmission and title. wtf is this shit?

>we have everything to put the car back together

yeah, nah. people dont dismantle cars for shits and giggles. half that thing was sold off 80 years ago.

Turbocharged Metro convertible here people!

newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/d/geo-metro-convertible-chevy/6203605743.html

Seems like a good deal

collegestation.craigslist.org/cto/d/rare-mazda-rx-gsl-miles/6195928570.html

treasure.craigslist.org/cto/d/mustang-all-original/6217698299.html

>and the engine bay is filthy as fuck.
How dirty does an engine bay have to be to knock money off?

Whats your thoughts on this Z31?

losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/nissan-gtr-ams-alpha-hp/6180209762.html

>interior
driver seat is the only part that looks fucked

I would say check it out if it's in your heart, and make sure to do your research beforehand If you really like it, and it doesn't look/sound/drive like it will cause more trouble than it's worth, then go for it.

>theres gotta be a catch
its a 23 year old honda prelude with an auto trans

>Spending anything over $1000 on craigslist

>buy my 7 year old time bomb for more than a new one is worth so i can get a new one!

It's a bummer to see really nice shells with no engines, so I'm curious about it. I know absolutely nothing about engines, from which to buy to the installation process. Assuming everything but the engine functions, what might it generally cost to pop a new one in? (If a generic figure is even possible.)

philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/d/nissan-pulsar-gti-rhd-had/6220418167.html

1990 Nissan Pulsar GTI-R RHD had small accident - $5500 (Philadelphia, PA)

how do you answer a craigslist ad for something that's a) fairly priced and b) you want to buy? like, how much power-level should you show?

treasure.craigslist.org/cto/d/nissan-zx/6221645492.html

whats wrong with this thing

desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/d/chevrolet-v/6204671924.html

How does the 2.8 v6 compare to the 4.3 v6?

depends on whether you plan to keep the engine.
If you want to keep the engine, the 2.8 is better. If you want to swap, the 4.3 is a better starting point.
The 2.8L was designed from the start as a V6, and you can make significant power upgrades just from using the heads, and intake manifolds from newer FWD 3100/3400 engined cars.
These guys are very familiar with the top swap.
wot-tech.com/index.php
milzymotorsports.com/

If you plan to swap, the 4.3 is better. Why? Because the 4.3 was never designed as a V6. It's literally a 350 Chevy V8 with 2 cylinders chopped off. Swap out the 4.3, swap in a 350, bolts right in.

someone?

automatic sports cars are never worth as much as the manual versions.

but that low for that condition?

The transmission is a BIG concern for sports car buyers. If it doesn't have a stick, it's not for those with a dick.

i did forget about over compensation factor

On the upside. You can buy an automatic car, swap in a manual, and sell it at a profit. Wheeler Dealers did it with a Datsun 240Z

It looks fine, just check the chassis for rust and stuff--do your research, and make sure to hear engine/test drive. And if you think it's worth it, take it to a mechanic for check-up.

This guy is just hard for manuals. If you really want to get this car, and think that you will enjoy it, then go for it. Trust me when I say that you will enjoy driving a car if you really appreciate it for what it is--automatic or not.

thanks user.
Don't know how to drive manual, but arent older manuals supposed to be a lot better than their autos?

Sure, because the technology/engineering is still better geared towards manuals, but the eighties was when automatics were becoming more of a thing, so as long as you regularly maintenance your car/don't abuse your car, it should be fine. And if you really want, you could swap it out for a manual in the future. nbd

Thanks user, I'll keep that in mind.

They're more reliable, faster, more fuel efficient, and cheaper to repair when they do break, but that's manuals in general, not just old ones. Still holds true today.On older cars, manuals will ALWAYS pull a premium over automatics unless it's a luxury landbarge.

To add, I have an 86 Pontiac firebird that shifts smoothly for an automatic. This may be anecdotal, but honestly, I really enjoy it because it's like a blast from the past, so I couldn't care less.

This user isn't wrong entirely, but if you drive conservatively, then gas/speed shouldn't be a problem. Either can be fun, depending on your driving style/perspective on the whole automatic VS manual thing.

Again, it's all you.
