Who says I was gonna recommend a grand? gently caress that, tell him he's an idiot and completely destroyed any value the car had by painting it like Stevie Wonder and offer him 300. Then get it home and wipe all that crap off with 10 bucks worth of acetone. It's $16 a gallon.

I want someone to just go out there and ask him what he was thinking. "It is stolen and I painted it in a parking garage while running from the police" seems like to the only excuse I can imagine.

Edit: ^-Not a bad deal if the trunk is full of  Acetone? I think most of that would come off with a good pressure wash. Getting the paint out of the top though? That would hurt. Turbo Fondant fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Jan 12, 2014 |

I LOVE this. A few weeks ago, this mustang for sale:  http://rochester.craigslist.org/cto/4226897131.html Now, some of you may remember we had a polar vortex of some sort last week. Two hours ago:  http://rochester.craigslist.org/cto/4287071321.html Guess you should've picked up a $400 set of winter tires, guy. You'll also notice sometime between these two ads he lost a grand worth of "up grades".

That front bumper looks non-stock to me, so I'd bet there was $1k in that between the part and paint.

That car could easily sell for 16.5k as long as there isn't anything wrong with it.

They're pretty bad at pricing anything low-volume, or any locale with unusual preferences. I'd trust KBB's opinion on the value of an Accord, but not an S2K.

If you can find an under 10k S2000 it's a poo poo pile. That car could sell all day at that price.

BrokenKnucklez posted:Its the S10 blazer right? Or the K5? S10/blazer/Sonoma/S15 Jimmy was full frame. I think the Trailblazer was unibody. Edit: Wikipedia implies hat the first-gen Trailblazer was unibody by stating that the second-gen "returns to the roots of General Motors' classic body-on-frame SUV's that the first-generation TrailBlazer abandoned. As is the case with the original Chevrolet Blazer (1969-1994), Tahoe (1995-present), Suburban (1935–present), S10-based Blazer (1983-2005), the TrailBlazer will be based on a pickup truck chassis, in this case the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado."

The market for older cars is different in Japan. http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/honda/s2000/14223457/ I bought my RX-7 for $3500, and shipping/insurance to the Caribbean was about $1600. I have no idea what import duties are like in the US, but if you live near a port city, I imagine you could get a seriously nice car for cheap.
