The funnier bit is that he listed it as being "for sale - by dealer". No, I don't believe flipping shitboxes for meth money makes you a car dealer, guy.

I don't really know much about J-bodies, but Toyota was trying to sell the Z24 Cavalier (4sp auto only) for Y2.07 Million. That's more than a Civic Type R and almost the same price as a WRX. Were top-end Cavaliers really that expensive back in the day?

Nein. I don't think the Z24 ever went for more than 15k or so back in the mid nineties.

EDIT: unless the car they're currently selling as the Z24 is the US SS. Those go for around 20k I think.

A 13 year old economy car for only a grand down? Well, my interest was piqued so I emailed the seller asking for a cash price.

$4599, its a one owner in almost perfect condtion. And it comes with a 6 month warranty with sticker price.

Thank you,

I've heard of highballing but...yeah. Even for a perfect (which this one ain't) Paseo that's outrageous. What's more surprising is that NADA lists clean retail for this car at $3350. Since when have old subcompacts commanded this kind of price? I wouldn't pay more than maybe 1500, and even that's pushing it.
