Look for a seaworthy example that needs a little polish for a couple grand and you'll come out WAY ahead of that "free" boat deal. Exactly. However, if you want a free (or nearly free) boat you need look no further than your nearest dock. Almost every single one has a couple of decent sailboats where the owners simply stopped paying wet slip fees. The facility owners will probably give them to you if you agree to a 12 month contract.

I found out that Matlab can read in websites, so I did the first thing I thought of: plotted used car prices from Craigslist! First iteration of the program just gave an average, high, and low price for a given model and year in your area. Second scanned all years of the model in the area and plotted it. Third scans all years of a given model, and averages the models over most of the larger areas on CL. This takes a long time to run, but it shows some cool stuff. The program is far from flawless, since this is just based on a search term, so dumb-shits can still fool it with their 1993 Civic they put "WILL TRADE FOR CORVETTE" in the title. I also put a lower limit of $50 on the search, but I feel like the averages are low. Also, forgive my weird y-axis labels. It's supposed to say "cost," but my version of Matlab is grumpy as hell sometimes. On with plots! Corvette  Click here for the full 1200x900 image. Mustang  Click here for the full 1200x900 image. Camaro  Click here for the full 1200x900 image. Wrangler  Click here for the full 1200x900 image. I have some more of long-running productions like "Thunderbird" and "Beetle" and "Bug," if anyone wants to see those. Long story short, it looks like almost all cars in 1985 are the minimum. Super-nerd me wants to take the hp for each car and year and divide that out to get hp/$ (yes, I would have to change the search term to eliminate, say, V6 Mustangs).

I have neither the room, nor the income, to store or repair a boat anyhow. Just not something you see everyday in the free section. That and if I did bring it home, the wife would force me to live in it.

These are quite interesting and follow with the trends I've seen while looking for Vettes, Mustangs, and Camaros/Firebirds over the past few months. I wish Craigslist did analysis like this, or like what OKCupid does with the statistical work. They've got a ton of info in there.

The badging from the rear shot looks like it's off about 15 degrees. judging by the correct color tag on the front strut tower, the side badging, the mirrors, and the side sill bodywork, it looks legit. i wouldn't trust that rear end in a top hat to get any of those other things right in trying to convert it to 'm3-spec'.

I LOVE this kind of information. Please post everything. Can you pull things like "Ferrari" as well? The data suggests almost perfect U shape for the collectables. With enough data you could almost predict the exact month to buy a Ferrari 305 an have it start appreciating. Assuming the model holds and it is not that the 80's just sucked so much.

The actual address in Olive Branch, MS which is just south of Memphis off of Highway 78, which is Lamar. Lamar is a dragway for hookers. I hope it is some sort of joke, I don't know what else he would gain from putting that in there.

Yeah, Lamar, and Airways, are the hooker capitals of greater Memphis. Olive Branch is literally right down the street. I was wrong about Memphis craigslist, there are great things occasionally.  http://memphis.craigslist.org/cto/2144894162.html It's a few days old, probably sold by now, but, unlike the free boat, I would legitimately love to have this in my garage.
