DiggityDoink posted:Kinda scummy that they don't mention the mileage at all in the CL posting tho. That's basically the first thing I look at in postings after the price. As a general rule on CL if the mileage isn't listed its gonna be over 150k, probably closer to 200.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1962-land-rover-88-series-iia-4x4-2/ Trying to remember if I've seen this around town... spotted one on base a few months back, but that one was in even rougher shape. I'm on the lookout for a 4wd vehicle suitable for hunting trips into NM's backcountry, but despite being extremely cool it's probably one of the least practical choices (I can't imagine parts availability is great). Also because it's a Land Rover, I guess the price will end up at least 2x the cost of a decent Jeep.

Imperador do Brasil posted:Engines and transmissions don’t magically explode at 200k miles, and $1k is a laughably low price for a car in 2018. My one forester xt has 214k miles and is running perfectly on its original engine and trans, and the other has 190k and also runs perfectly while making almost 300awhp on an upgraded factory motor with 40k miles but original transmission. Both are worth many thousands of dollars, as is basically any Subaru (for example) with any number of miles. You’d be extremely lucky to find a car of any type where I live for $1k that is inspected and drivable regardless of miles. A grand basically gets you a basket case or a pile of parts. Follow up: I live in the rustless promised land and my ‘99 base model Outback Sport was valued at $3900 by the insurance company with 207k on the odometer. $1500 gets you the same thing with a broken axle. $1,000 gets you no Subaru, maybe a mid-80s GL that’s been imported from someplace with a ton of rust. You can get a car that runs for $1,000 but beggars can’t be choosers at that point, it will probably be an early 90s or late 80s American car that runs on miracles and prayers to Saint Ronald Reagan. Granted Subarus are more valuable in CO than elsewhere, but still.

fakeaccount posted:...huh? What's a freewheel? It basically allows the transmission to run faster than the engine. It was used in the 96 because it originally had a 2-stroke engine and allowing it to run down to idling speeds on deceleration is better for the limited lubrication available to a 2-stroke. In principle its a similar mechanism to a socket wrench -- in one direction (power delivered from engine), the driveline is engaged. In the other direction (rpm delivered from driveline), it is disengaged. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freewheel

Subaru prices are bonkers all over. Here in PA a WRX with rotted quarters, no clear coat, hail damage and 200k miles is still $nuts. I got lucky with my FXT’s price and condition-wise. Traded a Miata that I was asking $4k for the 300awhp (auto) car with zero rust and great interior, and I have about $7500 into my manual one, but that does include the standard timing belt/water pump/belts/spark plugs at 210k miles and a bunch of aftermarket stuff. I only paid $4500 for it originally, which in the northeast is a crazy good price for a non-rotted out manual FXT.

Anything under about $1500 (CAD) in my experience is either; a. Super undesirable, with issues. b. A complete basketcase.

See also this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Honda_assembly_plants A 1985 Civic would've been produced in Japan. edit: If its not a scam its the 500,000th imported which is still neat but explains why a production engineer or manager from Honda Canada hasn't bought it if Honda Canada itself didn't want it for their lobby. hobbesmaster fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Apr 28, 2018 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYBaIFZSbx4 This car's been around. Supposedly 500,000 civic period. Even for a 1985 model year, that sounds a little low. My guess is also 500,000 imported or something.

As I'm preparing my Volvo 164 for sale on BaT, I'm trying to figure out how much I should fix and how much I should just mention in the ad. It needs new bushings on the rear suspension and the windshield should probably be reseated because it leaks in one corner. What do you guys think, is it better to spend a few hundred dollars and my time to get these things taken care of, or just disclose it in the ad?

If the cost to fix isn't that much, I'd just do it. Windshield sounds like it wouldn't be that expensive for a shop to tackle, bushings maybe leave up to the next guy.

That's where I'm leaning. There's a shop 1/2 mile from my house that says they'll do the windshield for $100, but the bushings will probably take more of my time than I want to spend or cost a decent chunk at a shop, so I'll probably not bother with them.

My grandmother had a '62 Saab 96 two-stroke: She let us help fuel it up. Adding the two-stroke oil before the gasoline was the prize gig. She seemed to enjoy it. She had a bunch of weird cars we admired. They couldn't maintain them properly, so the cars would break and then rot in their yard for a decade, then get hauled away for scrap. Wandering the dead cars around her house was some of the best entertainment of the trip. Deteriorata fucked around with this message at 05:09 on May 3, 2018 |

Sometimes it's availability (those Explorer headlights are cheap knockoffs and the local repair place could get them cheap), sometimes it's customer preference (our customer told us to use the Sierra headlights). I can't speak for the Alero ones but I imagine UPS liked them. They are very particular about the look of their trucks.
