Skipping over just how loving awful that looks, don't most places have a legal limit on the amount of driving lights you can have uncovered/on at one time? In VA I'm pretty sure you can't have more than 4, and I doubt 10 is legal anywhere.

Why do Volvo's always seem to have such low prices? I'm looking for 850 Turbo's right now and they're all cheap as dirt, usually not even in bad shape. Then this popped up. clicky for full size.

Where at? I've yet to see a turbo 850 that was also a 5 speed (the T-5R notwithstanding), let alone one that's also AWD. Combinations of the two, but never all three. Goddamn I would do unspeakable things to get this car.

I don't often have it happen in emails, but people will constantly try to pull that poo poo after they show up to look at it. Emails and offers 160 for an intake kit, then shows up 2 hours later and says "oh I only brought 140". You're not a loving alzhimer's patient, I'm sure you can remember what price you agreed on earlier in the day. Most people will "remember" they have enough for the asking price, but some will actually leave. It's somewhat satisfying if I know they drove a long distance.

Or just tell them to meet you somewhere and don't show up. Some jerkoff from Keswick offered me 175$ for a 500 dollar running/driving 93' Civic coupe (and I had to deliever it no less), I told him I'd meet him in Newmarket, and just never showed. Later he sent me an angry email,saying he how he wasted 2 hours waiting for me yadada, it was pretty satisfying.

This silly little thing is for sale near me. Not much info, the registration says it's a "GS-Moon Streetbull".

According to what info I can find, it's got a 0.8L three-cylinder engine with either 20hp or 54hp, or possibly 110hp if it's turbocharged. Could be a fun toy, if it didn't cost more than a used Ford Fiesta.

Yes. People on CL are awful, and I hate selling stuff because of how awful they are. People will try to negotiate $5 off of a $30 item by multiple e-mails.

I've had people come all the way out to see a car (a nice car not asking for much) and offer only half the stated ad price, and leave with no sale.

People are awful.

People seriously don't even put year or mileage on cars where I live, craigslist is a collection of the loving stupidest people living in your area and it's not even useful because of it. Also don't try to buy a cell phone because they won't even tell you what carrier the phone is for.

Besides my old wagon I've seen at least 4 others. There's always a chance of horrendous rust but my 87 isn't that bad considering.

I've seen this exact car driving around too, and know which street that is (lower chance of CL related stabbing, although not zero since it's Troy). I probably won't go down there and buy it. Even though the wheels/body look deliciously rust free and the four headlight design is probably my favorite. And I definitely hate that cream color and red interior. Why would I ever need a second one?

I have found the GREATEST PROJECT CAR EVER. Guarantee it will make a poorly modified RX7 seem as reliable as a brand new Camry. Or a neglected 7 Series from the early 90's feel like a mid 90's Civic when it comes to maintenance.
Its an Italian built supercar from the 80's.
It has not 1 but 2 turbos.
It is Carb'd--so don't worry, it'll never run correctly.
It's prone to rust.
I think this one was the one with the botched 80's overly-complex German electronics, so there is that basket of fun.
It's $1,200.

It would probably be less reliable than the All Trac I have sitting in my driveway that is awaiting a new engine. I only put about 700 miles on it before it went.

It would look soo good on the back of a tow-truck.

Here's a guy I feel is a little optimistic about the value of his Mk IV GTI.
http://louisville.craigslist.org/cto/3129701025.html

It's a bit long-winded, so I'll quote it, cutting out a few extraneous bits.

quote:

My car is a 2001 Volkswagen GTI VR6. It is Tornado Red, with the sought after Black leather interior, with every imaginable option, digital climate control, autodimming mirror, heated seats, power locks/mirrors/windows (one touch), power moonroof which works in every position, even the heated seats work, not that you will need them in the summertime...


It's just had a bunch of recent service, (about $3k worth)
Great running, daily driver, 24-26 mpg average, doesnt burn/leak anything no grinds/smokes/leaks/etc
FULLY serviced recently (with all OEM components done at 126,694 miles)
Jetta front end (Matching tornado red)



Bad:
Hail damage still exists on the roof and hatch, no paint missing just penny dents all over the roof/hatch
Minor wear on the drivers side seat bolster no rips or tears
Glovebox still closes/latches, but sliders are broken
Armrest still fully functional but does not latch
Jetta front has a dent in the pass. side fender and a bit of clear issues on the hood in one 6"x8" spot

Trades I WILL consider;
Fuel injected 1000cc/750cc/600cc motorcycles +at least $2k cash this includes;
CBR 900rr's/929/954/600rr/1000rr
Kawasaki ZX6r/zx10r/636
Yamaha R6/R1
Suzuki GSXR 1000/750/600
E36 M3
E30 with an S50 swap
MKII VW's with at least $3k on top
MKIII Vw's with at least $3k on top
Bugeye WRX
Bobber style bike can be a jap bike, but has to come with cash
240sx with an SR20+cash unless it's immaculate and T3
Ae86+cash
FC RX7 with an LS1
CLEAN Datsun 240/260/280z
Z32 300zx TT
3000GT VR4
Galant VR4+cash
1g DSM AWD+ Cash
Audi 90/Coupe Quattro+ cash
Mustang Notchback 5 speed/5.0
Turbo'ed, stanced, fast etc...
Old Audi's 90/4000/coupe quattro/etc

Anything else just hit me up on here and i'll send you pics of my car from my phone.
