slidebite posted:http://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/lethbridge/61-corvette-price-just-reduced/1217126650?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true NADA says average retail is $64,000 for those, so I guess it's appropriate. In a similar vein, https://chattanooga.craigslist.org/cto/5915992446.html  NADA says they go for $77,600. If I were spending that much money, I'd much rather have the 'vette. Roadrunners never did much for me. To each his own, I guess.

Yeah, Beetles were murder on floor pans. More than one person I know who had one had the seat fall through while they were driving. Another cautioned passengers not to step too hard on the floor as there was nothing under the floormat.

A '57 Cadillac ran into a '58 Edsel. Nine months later they had a '59 Nash Metropolitan.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Yeah you have the right idea, just the wrong car. Get the cheapest Corolla or Civic you can afford, sell it when you're done and get your money back or more. Doesn't even have to be that. The Audi would probably be OK for his needs if not for the timing belt. The odds are good that just about any car in decent shape will be able to go 500-1000 miles without anything major falling off. I don't think renting will fit his needs very well from what he described.

Elephanthead posted:Is this something like C5 corvettes where everyone wants $18,000 for them but they are worth $10,000? Who would pay $7,000 for that honda? I mean you can buy a honda fit for that price and have 99% less chance of dying driving it. Hagerty values a 1972 z600 in good condition at $9100. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Old cars are generally terrible at everything except being old and expensive to maintain.

rscott posted:I have a coworker who is paying $650/month to lease a base level golf 14 GTI due to rolling negative equity from their last three leases in their current one A friend of mine is a car salesman and he has to do this fairly regularly. He knows its dumb, but he's in the business of selling cars, not financial advice. If rolling over negative equity into a new loan gets the car out the door, it's a done deal. The main problem is with people with bad credit or no income not being able to understand why they can't get a $50k new car. They get indignant when he steers them to the $3000 beaters.

eh. To me, the appeal of a dune buggy is simplicity. That interior is far too plush. Get rid of the dash and console, replace them with a simple gauge cluster and I'd be more interested.

SiliconX posted:Yes, that part is easy for me to argue. I'm curious more about the car. Price is outrageous or not, anything from pictures that is a red flag, etc. That's very cheap for what most are going for based on a quick Google search. It's a great deal if the car really is in good to very good condition. There's no way to know that, though. What bothers me is that the owner has to know what the car is worth. There's a reason he's selling it so cheap and your friend may find out the hard way. There's not much we could tell from pictures. Cosmetics are easy. The expensive, complicated stuff is always hidden.

Oddly, there's a bunch of 2006 F250s on cargurus for about 20k. The highest is actually $27,888 The truck isn't that far overpriced. The offroad package adds a lot of value, apparently.

scuz posted:So.... It has to have had a legal title on file recently in order to be registered and get plates. If the missing title just means he lost it somewhere and doesn't want to bother getting a new one, it's probably OK from that standpoint. If getting a new one is not hard or expensive, then why won't the current owner get one? The title issue makes me nervous. I guess if you're gonzo to own one of these, you can take the chance. The worst outcome is that you're out $1500.

KakerMix posted:You build them on a VW chassis because those were everywhere and could be had for very cheap. You build them at all so you can have something that looks cool and unique that only took some time on your end to have. In the 1970s and 1980s you did, now VW Bugs are classics unto themselves where as before they were disposable garbage cars. All these kit cars that use them as a base are now weird relics of another time. Some, like the Manx dune buggies, are becoming their own sort of classics. Plus the kit was generally pretty light which gave you good power/weight and decent handling. There was also a huge market in VW performance parts so the drive train could be souped up considerably.

It looks cool and I'd like to ride in one, but never own one. Skinny tires, lots of leverage (big steering wheels, low gearing). Performance expectations were lower, as well. You did what you had to do to turn the car, and that's just the way it was.

IOwnCalculus posted:Manual steering usually has a much lower ratio (more turns lock to lock). Combine that with cars that were generally lighter and tires that were narrower and harder, and you end up with a reasonable steering effort. Yeah, you can tell when PS became standard equipment on cars. Steering wheels shrank to about half the size they had been.

That doesn't strike me as a particularly good choice for a first car. It's glorious. It needs to be pampered as a third or fourth car by someone who knows how to maintain it.

KakerMix posted:You didn't link it but right click -> search google for image and see if you find that picture anywhere else. That there is only 1 picture is telling, that the price is so low is another. I think it's fake based on those two things alone but it also doesn't have the google map thing on the right. Miles not listed in the info on the right, no VIN either. It's here, listed for $4800 in North Las Vegas. The CL ad is definitely fake.
