How rare are these really?

I maybe have just bought two Prinz 40s, which are smaller than that, but the same engine. The parts are incredibly rare, a complete car (or two and free spares from 3 extras) is the only way to go.

Ignore the terrible picture coloring, I forgot to reset the white balance on my camera and the LCD is blown out. It has a kinda cool 70's Polaroid look too it, despite being taken on Saturday with a P&S Lumix.

edit: yes that is a Lloyd Alexander TS and a original paint 60 beetle on 356A wheels

Found this a while back. I've seen a lot of custom tricycles before, some even painted that nice dusty rose color of your grandma's shawl. But I can honestly say I have never seen one built from a 1950s refrigerator before.

If the sight of a DA teg doesnt put vomit in your mouth and that actually describes the cars condition and the suspension isnt terribly torn up then that is not a terrible deal.

No information other than "1.3L engine" (probably some sort of 13B swap, because the car has the 4x110mm "plus" wheels), but unless that car has insanely low mileage and/or has been meticulously maintained, then that is kinda overpriced. The "IMSA GTU" comment means nothing other than the rear quarter window still has a slightly rare 26-year-old gold sticker commemorating Mazda's six season dominance in a particular racing class.

tl;dr You should go check it out in person anyway. First gen RX-7s are fun as hell.

Really loving good, actually, the 928 is kind of scary and unpopular among the Porsche types. I paid a little more for mine and it wasn't in quite as good condition.

EDIT: That is to say, most typical Porsche guys go for the models with fewer bells and whistles; and everyone else is scared off by potential maintenance costs. It's a good deal if you're like me and drive because you want to, not because you have to.

http://novascotia.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-1995-BMW-Series-5-540i-Sedan-4D-W0QQAdIdZ348371357



1995 m540i. #32 of 32, eurospec e34 M5 with the M60B40 V8 instead of the S38B38 I6. Rare as poo poo, but I've seen better condition ones sell for sub-20k. I did a little digging and it turns out this car has been for sale at the same dealership for years. Not driven, they just clean it out and relist it for the exact same price. I did a little googling and people have gone to look at it and say it's in even worse shape then it looks. Despite this, the dealer refuses to budge on price because it's "rare". It will never sell at that price and probably just sit there until someone gets half a brain.

Actually, #11 is still for sale and is in much better shape: http://novascotia.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-Extremely-rare-1995-BMW-M540i-Sedan-11-of-32-W0QQAdIdZ317542930

Some dealers do seem to have an issue with RARE=VALUABLE

This has been for sale for oh, 2+ years now? Hasn't dropped a dime. I think they believe the more words in the ad the more they can justify the price.

quote:

$26,995

The 1999 Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4 All-Wheel Drive is a capable grand touring car that can snap your head back under acceleration or cradle you in comfort. Thanks to its 3.0L V-6 DOHC 24 Valve Twin-turbocharged monster, making 320HP and the creature comforts of a luxury car.

In the 1990's, no other vehicle offered the technical pedigree found on the original Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 for around $45,000 USD. In 1991, features like all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, adjustable suspension and active aerodynamics put the car far ahead of anything available in its price range. The Dodge Stealth, which was a mechanical twin to the 3000GT produced from 1991 to 1996, was featured in an early advertisement showing how the car outperformed a 300ZX, Corvette and Porsche.

The VR-4's impressive AWD system keeps it glued to the road during hard launches and around tight corners. You won't find this level of pure stick with the Corvette or BMW M-cars, especially if the road surface is uneven and/or slippery. Backing up the AWD system is a four-wheel steering design that turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front at lower speeds. This makes low-speed maneuvers easier.

And since the VR-4 is marketed as a "Grand Tourer," not a sportscar, its list of standard luxury equipment reads like a grocery list from "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous." These include an Infinity audio system w/CD that offers some of the best sound we've heard inside of an automobile, plush leather seating surfaces, automatic climate control, power everything, remote keyless entry plus much, much more!

You will not find a more pristine example of a VR-4 than this 1999 Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4 AWD. It is 100% stock, and has never been tracked or raced. This vehicle is 1 of 287 VR-4's produced in 1999. It has all the original books, keys, floor mats and even the original window sticker (MSRP: $45,669 USD before taxes). It has been fully serviced, comes with a complete Inspection and is 100% ready for the next Owner! Nationwide/Worldwide Delivery Available!
