My guess is you wont see much demand for a $300,000 SL series when you could easily get an SLR for less.



Since the owner of this car probably will not care about the performance, can you imagine how galling it will be for them the first time someone confuses it with the $40,000 version their ex-wife drives?

I had a spare key cut for my similar era Mercedes for $35 shipped. I just had to supply a copy of my registration to prove I owned the car with that VIN. I dunno BMW keeps around old key cutting whatnots.

What I have is a white 1976 Datsun ( Nissan ) 280Z. Its got 195k miles. Its not in very good shape. It runs the last time I tried to start it, but the clutch is bad, therefore not drivable. It would make a great parts car, as there are many straight clean body panels. Everything is original on it. If you really wanted it, that price is very negotiable. In other words, right now I am willing to give it someone. Photos available on request. 812 406-7027

How much do you like working on cars? This is an old car, and will need lots of stuff. They're easy to work on and parts aren't expensive, but at that age and mileage you'll be putting in a lot of garage time. If you're not good with a wrench and/or don't enjoy working in the garage, this is not the car for you.

As far as how bad do you have to want it - just call him up and say you don't have any money but the Z is your dream car and you've always loved them and by the way you can be there in 20 minutes with a car hauler.

Nah, just need it for a parts car for the '77 I already have. Just don't want to be sodomized to prove how much I "want it". But then again, there's not a whole lot compatible between the '76 and '77, is there? Pretty much need the r200 differential for my eventual RB swap, and maybe some trim pieces inside.

Older BMW lock barrels can be rebuilt to match a key. All you need is a pack of the shims and a key from another car, but having at least one compatible barrel to copy makes it a shitload easier.

$1500 would be a better deal. For $2000 with over 250k on it I'd expect it to not go through oil like that. Losing oil at all is not normal for Volvos, they don't do it unless there's something lovely and interesting wrong with them. Tell us if that oil is getting burnt or leaving the engine via various seals. If it's just seals (and the interior is tits, climate control stuff works, it's got speakers, the tires aren't dry-rotted) and you can get it for $1500, good enough, seals are all reasonable to replace and inexpensive. If it's burning the oil I'd keep shopping; seals are fun but I don't want to play with ugly problems (hosed rings? blown-by turbo bearings? new valves?) on a car that I just paid money for. Expecially if you want a new car because you don't want to pay for your current one's parts addiction.

Get him to replace the windshield, because you're probably not passing inspection with a huge wandering crack in it. Ask him what oil he's been running (don't lead him with a "hey do you run synthetic"), if they've been running non-synthetic with that turbo, keep shopping.

Yeah my '91 940 Turbo hasn't leaked a bit since I got it and runs great consistently. All that's left to fix is the cat-back since there's a hole near the muffler.

I'll probably be selling it by the end of summer, need another truck/van to replace the stolen El Camino and I'd rather get the Mustang back on the road and sell the Volvo at this point since they both need supreme. I'll post some info in the Volvo thread next month if anyone is interested.

Vanning was apparently so popular during the 1970s that there were entire movies based around the concept of owning or maintaining a custom van. It's like the Fast and the Furious, only nobody ever goes fast anywhere and they topple over in a strong breeze.

Reply to: sale-86uge-1718640551@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

the reason vehicle prices are so high is because of cash for clunkers it tok 750000 good used vehicles off the road and well think about it thats almost one million so there are not very many to go around so people who cant finance one are forced to pay the cost and eaven if you can finance one you still have to pay the high price because no one really wants to sell low when everyone is looking for a car they see the high prices and well BLUE BOOK vales means nothing something is only worth what some one is willing to pay so if the cars worth 500 blue book but they are selling for 1500 then well more than likely the seller will want his piece of the pie especially whaen he went out and bought a slightly newer car than the one hes selling and he got raped for it

I mean, I agree with him that beater car prices have been ridiculous lately, but I just assumed it was because of the recent massive influx of dealers + illiterate hillbillies.

As a corollary, does anyone know of a better alternative to craigslist, or has nothing materialized yet? Searching for cars and parts recently has been hellacious to say the least.

I really don't think c4c did much to the use vehicle market other than taking a few thousand late 90's Explorers out of the system. Used cars have a tendency to not go below $1000 no matter what the year, unless they need major work.

Also, people are greedy.

Personally, I'd love to see a study that put together data from every Craigslist entry for a specific query for one major city in like a one year period. I'm sure you'd see trends based on time of year and probably would also see price fluctuations as well.

It's a fastback sixties Mustang, and while it may not have a title, it does have a VIN.

If that's good enough to get an effectively built-from-new-shell-and-parts car classified as a "restoration" of a '68, I'd view it as well worth the money. For example, here in the UK, it would mean I could keep the car in a free annual taxation band, get classic insurance, and be permitted much lower standards at the annual MOT (roadworthiness) inspection. I'd pony up $1k for that.

Of course, maybe I'm overthinking things, and it's the stereotypical "Sixties musclecar = worth munny" old-bastard-with-field-of-deteriorating-classics psychology.
