I went to see an E39 M5 someone had listed for $15k with a "cash in hand" policy. I explained to him over email when setting it up that I wasn't going to show up with cash and the first thing he asked me was "did you bring the cash". So I just assumed most posters were actually serious about it at opposed to a time-waster filter.

I was actually that guy on the 968 I just bought. There were 3 tiny pictures of the outside and a two sentence description and after 3 exchanges i overnighted him a cashier's check. I'll report back when it gets here Friday

Applebees Appetizer posted:This. I've dealt with so many sales on CL I can almost always tell who's bullshit and who's not, the key is email only. If you can't communicate via email then you're an idiot and I don't want your business. After I have determined that you can use email and communicate like a normal person, and aren't lowballing me or asking me stupid questions, then I will give my cell number and we can text to make things easier. Works every time. I just sold a bunch of car parts to three different people and it went smoothly. The last two cars I sold, the first people to show up and see the cars in person bought them because I had weeded out the idiots before them. It's really not that difficult once you find the right buyers. It's basically the process scammers and phishers use, except in reverse.

 Pretty pricey but also really pretty. Re: 80s Chrysler I saw what I thought was a Dodge Shadow/Plymouth Sundance today and pointed it out to my wife since that was her first car. But no, it wasn't either it was a 1988 Shelby CSX (it was white). It was being driven by an older guy and was in phenomenal shape. I didn't even know they existed. EDIT Oh man

My dad bought a Starfire GT brand new when I was kid. Went to that from a full size Blazer, I remember being like wtf. The car was tiny, and in the winter my dad would chain smoke with the windows up, good times.

See this kind of stuff wants me to make an AI challenge where every year (or six months) I have AI find something under say $5k and 500 miles away for me to buy and daily drive. Then when the times up (6 or 12 months) I sell it and let you fools pick the next one. edit: on second thought maybe 2.5k so I have enough left over to keep whatever shitbox you curse me with for a year.

I think the challenge should require that the car cost less then the miles away from you it is. If you make it home with the car you win.

This could easily be a YouTube show or hell even a TLC show, mix it up with the crap that they have already, do some real light history on the car itself and ham it up with a couple of characters, easy $$$.

Sigh, these drat things are going to price me out before I get around to getting a fixer. 5 years ago this would be a $1500-$2k car max. I still would've passed then because of the lovely sunroof. It's the right color at least.

I go test drive and look them over then buy the best of the bunch. My brother details the hell out of it then he or I drives it to Wisconsin and Dad flies the driver home. Rust free southern trucks go for a premium up north and Dad's got nearly unlimited frequent flier miles from work. Usually a lot of fun and a decent profit even after driving the thing 1000 miles.

Like hell that Wagoneer is even cool enough to do a show about, go buy it, bring it back and talk about it while in the car driving. Dub over some footage and things from its history and you've got a little show.

This is the only part of living in Florida that I miss. It's nuts how well that climate preserves cars, no matter the car or owner... I bought a shiny little 90s ford escort hatchback there for like $500, and drove it all over the beach and ocalla. A few months in Iowa and now it looks like any other 90s escort you've ever seen
