I saw it on CL one day and I pooped a little bit Of course the price is all wrong, but I kind of suspected it, too many stingy farmer-types here. (maybe.. 2-door 59's are somewhat desirable--but still, look at it!) Sigh.. all that chrome... Willfrey fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Oct 21, 2010 |

Seeing stuff like this just makes me want to hit up the CL-within-100-miles-because-that's-as-far as-AAA-goes ads and go looking again though. My CL always seems to turn up at least a couple gems. Whoa, either I'm suffering another bout of exploding head syndrome, or my mind was just actually blown. This is a mighty clever way to get some usage from a Triple-A membership.

So in my search for a DD since my mr2 got totaled, I think I found something finally. 1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R - $1900 I've always loved this generation se-r for some reason, and this one seems pretty clean. Anything I should be looking for in particular when I go look at it? vvv I heard about the 5th gear issue, but it sounds like this one doesnt have that issue. The guy said that the clutch cable needs to be replaced, but it still drives fine, clutch just engages late. Also, being in seattle, I'm not too worried about rust, since it isn't a huge issue here, but I'll check the radiator support and trunk to be sure. slurry_curry fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Oct 22, 2010 |

There's lots of cars with 5th-gear popout. My friend told me this about them: MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT THE LOWER RADIATOR SUPPORT CAUSE THATS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM!!! If it is rusty to the point where you think it might need work its probly not a good idea to buy it. Also they like to rot out in the truck area on the wheel well (push down hard on both they might break). Look in the oil cap and see if you can see if its clean or sludgy.

These are some smokin' deals on two (three!) classic rides for under $1,000. I wish I had the space or need for three extra cars, because I would seriously buy all three without hesitation. 1962 and 1963 International Scout trucks, one a 2WD and one a 4WD for $499 and $599.  A 1955 GMC truck for $700.  God drat!

I think during my time there I may get a car which I would be able to bring back to the US. If I return in 2016, that would mean I could only get something as new as 1991. Which rules out the AZ-1.  (But it doesn't rule out the Beat.)

The Beat is the cheapest of the 3 sporty Kei cars, its also the most common, and is N/A so I'd say its probably the easiest to work on. Mugen also still makes a lot of their cool aftermarket stuff for it. I'd actually love a beat with the removable hardtop, and all the mugen performance goodies. The AZ-1 is my favourite hands down though, and would make such an awesome fun to drive commuter car. The Kei cars cost like 25 bucks to fill a tank and get insane mpg. I'd love an AZ-1 with the ARC intercooler upgrade and airbox, and get one of those full titanium exhaust setups they sell for it, good set of tires, and you'd have a loving insanely fun car thats still decently fast in a straight line, and gets wicked gas mileage.

This is a pointless comment but when I first glanced at the upper left picture, I thought it was someone who mounted a motor to the roof of a car, with a rocket launcher on the top. Was kinda disappointed in it just being a door.

Just spotted an ad for an M3 on carsales.com.au that has a HARDON KAMON. I'm assuming the seller means Harman/Kardon premium sound, But being an M3, I wouldn't be entirely surprised to find a hardon around it.

It says it's a shell, but it's got axles etc., all it needs is an engine+transmission? Or am I completely wrong? If so, that seems extremely cheap to me, unless it's just the fibreglass shell and hardly anything mechanical, in which case it's still pretty cheap. Go for it. Rock LeMons the Nascar way! (But remember to turn right once in a while)

This is pretty ridiculous, even by CL standards. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/2014540075.html 94 BMW take over my lease - $2000 posted:hello i have a 1994 bmw 740  Who in the world tricked that poor girl into getting in that kind of "lease" on something like that? And does she think there's anyone out there as stupid as she is that would take it over??? It's not even worth the down payment she's asking for, much less the 16 additional payments of $260. Oops, I meant only 16 additional payments.

The US gas (which was at the heart of the problems) was fixed years ago. That said...how little financial sense can one person possess? This is mind boggling.
