What do you guys think of this? I've been communicating with the seller and he says there is no rust and that there are no mechanical problems. The only thing that worries me is the mileage, but the price seems very good. http://lancaster.craigslist.org/cto/1725051905.html  Click here for the full 1024x600 image.

I am not too up on the prices of Turbo Regals, but does this seem like a fair deal? It's about 2 hours away and I'd like to get it this weekend. It's $3800. http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/cto/2033355019.html Text: craigslist posted:1985 Buick Regal T-Type Pictures:

Toucan Sam posted:I prefer the T-Type, especially in one of the many grandma colors. As do I, mostly because they don't come with quite the same price premium like the GN. This despite the fact that in 1985 the GN had a higher production run than the T-Type.

dreesemonkey posted:I think there are a few. I posted something about the Bob Logue museum in Wilpo in another AI thread and I think I recall you being local, another dude from Milton (unless that was you), and someone going to PCT. I'm the one from Milton. Are you in W-Port? Unfortunately I have no self-restraint and I end up buying too many cars for my parking situation. My breaking point in terms of space is 4 vehicles. I'm at capacity currently, but in practicality I am always in the market for something cool/unique/fast. I'm considering the T-Type I posted above, and a very tasteful civic hatch with a GSR swap and Si front end. My wife is very tolerant.

More "actual gold"?

For sale $6000.00. 109,500 miles. Runs good, still has power steering, air conditioning, interior is in mint condition. New brakes, 10k miles on tires, all maintenance kept up to date.

They've all been riced to hell and back. Blue Book on a 2000 Si is like $5200, but I'd be willing to pay a little more for a super clean one.

Some of you may remember a while ago, I posted pictures of my friend Bill's 635hp Prelude in the AIest images thread; well now he has it for sale, and he is asking $13k for it. It makes 430whp on pump gas and 635whp on race gas. It's got a full interior, and the body is all stock - not riced out at all. From personal experience, this is a super clean and reliable monster-powered FWD car. Pictures:    Here's a link to his hondamarketplace ad, with contact information. It's located in State College, PA. http://hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?t=3027523&highlight=turbolude97 Imperador do Brasil fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Jul 12, 2012 |

Factory posted:Oh alright. Yeah, I mentioned University, but I only have classes 7:30-1pm two days a week. My light course load and minimal amount of work right now allows me to pour time into this. So just buy it already. You're getting advice to the contrary, but obviously your heart is already in it. People are telling you that it will be an unreliable car with hard-to-find parts, which might mean the car will sit for long periods of time while you wait for parts. Not a great only car that you rely on to get to school. As a second car or a project, fine. Commuter, no. Imperador do Brasil fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Sep 12, 2012 |

Tyro posted:Is this possible actual gold? Looks clean but maybe overpriced? How dumb would it be to consider this as a daily driver? (I know almost nothing about rotaries) Those make pretty good daily cars as long as you keep up on checking the oil, replacing spark plugs at the correct intervals (a 5-minute job), and other basic stuff you'd do in any other car. Very simple to work on and reliable. $3200 is a good price given that it's stock and has a fairly low-mileage engine. the 13B can go upwards of 150k miles when it's naturally aspirated like in that car. If I lived closer to VA/DC, I'd jump on it. The S5 is a great-looking and driving little car.

This should be enough: It's probably not an R/T Turbo, just a regular R/T. The R/T Turbos are as hard to find as a 300GT VR-4 (because they are basically the same car), and they still command a premium over the naturally aspirated cars. If it IS a Turbo, then the price is good. If it's a regular R/T it will be slow and wallow.

Dennis McClaren posted:Is any modern car with over 200k really worth more than $1000? 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.
