I put the over/under on my death at 48 hours if I get my hands on the snowmobuggy. They'll find me at the bottom of a snowy ravine, with one clenched fist out the window, a poo poo-eating grin on my face, and my foot shoved right through the floorboard.

Possible gold? I know the paint's shot, but if it doesn't have any rust and I can get a rough verification on the mileage...

It's not a totally poo poo deal but the carb/vacuum/emissions system on those is a loving nightmare, full of special snowflake/NLA parts. Unless someone swapped in a weber 32/36, in which case :getin:

When I sell the Vibe I'll probably do the same. Of course, its value is approaching that of a ham sandwich and a pack of gum so it should be a barrel of laughs at that point.

Actually when one of my neighbours did some midnight bodywork to it* I priced out a complete Matrix front clip. Would have been cheaper than Vibe parts but I couldn't figure out what to do about the cladding.
*nobody knows how to parallel park around here, and I live in the 'hood so I doubt most of them even have insurance. That's also the main factor in its worthlessness, the GM tax is only worth about a grand but the damage takes 2k off it.

Gotta ask what that is, I like the shape. Reverse image search turned up nothing.

At first I thought Fiat or Alfa but that angles rear quarter glass says no is it an older volvo?

The wheels are giving me serious Fiat vibes

Heh, I was looking at the same car about 30 minutes ago, but it's too far away from me. Seems like a good driver that needs some minor interior work. As with all AW11's the killer is rust, so try to get some pictures of the bottom of the trunk/frunk if you're considering buying it.

You couldn't pay me to take that car off his hands with that list of molestations and mechanical hexes he's hosed that thing up with.

I get a little bit of satisfaction out of this, honestly. Knowing how much money he's going to lose on this gilded toilet.

Yeah if your financial acumen is so bad that you have to get out from a car just a couple months from buying it, someone else is on that loan.

I wonder how much he got hosed for. One time I saw a bill of sale/finance agreement for ~22% APR on a used PT Cruiser. I imagine this guy is on something similar.

I see ads all the time with something along the lines of they only want what they owe on the loan and it's usually some crazy amount.

I'd really like to, but I think I'm going to pass. I was considering it on the basis of a grey-weather counterpart to the Miata, but putting a mid-engine car that loves to rust (we don't salt our roads here, but who knows) with a roof design that loves to leak in rainy driving situations probably isn't the best bet, and I don't have garage space. I could do it in summer but I already have the Miata and like the drop top for that kind of weather.

I daily drove my 1985 MR2 even in the snow and it had nary a lick of rust. Ignore the panicked cries of the poor souls in the rustbelt; in those parts of the country, every car has a rust problem. :haw:

Depends. If you're looking for a autocross and track toy it's pretty close. If you're looking for a DD it's probably not the right car. That said I don't think I've ever seen a properly done LS swap miata under 15.
