This is really only a little bit on the high side from what I can tell, sadly. They only made that hatchback for two years, and the paint (and hopefully body) look to be in fairly nice shape. Hell, for a 30 year old car that interior is in drat nice shape, though not 8/10 like he was saying.

"Need to get somewhere fast? Let me be your carpool dummy. $25/hour for round trip co-pilot. I will be waiting for you where you enter the highway. Showered and respectful."

The problem is when there's a lot of traffic half the time the carpool lane is just as bad. Most of the time when I'm driving in traffic I'm also going to be at my destination for a couple of hours (or a whole work day), so after a couple of days of that you could just drive by yourself in the carpool lane and pay for the ticket.

Here's a sign of the times. To be fair, he DOES have his head screwed on straight if you look at book values. But if you look at what cars are actually going for, most ebay completed listings for 03 Expeditions have high bids for more like 6-9000 dollars, and a lot of those are loaded...this appears to be a near-base-model. Also, it being in Lake Havasu, "low miles" could be surprisingly high (especially considering they aren't actually disclosed here). Basically, I think that he's going to have to look older than 03-04, that considering how many people there are around here trying to unload trucks just like his, he's going to have to go lower than he wants, and that considering how few Miatas there are in Mohave county, he's probably going to have to go pretty far afield to find one at ANY price.

  • city is misspelled
  • JAY DEE EMMU TYPE R YO (probably stolen)
  • Filthy inside
  • License plate...oh my god the license plate. AND YOU KNOW THIS CAR HAS BEEN BABIED.
  • EXCLAIMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!
  • READY FOR PAINT (so, what, you're gonna paint right over the dents?)
  • WTF with the bumper accessories
  • JAY DEE EMMU novice driver sticker on the back window
  • Makes a point to talk about who the amateur-looking wiring was done by
  • Side trim is missing, wonder if he has it
  • Cargo area trim seems to be gone
  • Car was at least three different colors before it was sanded down - was probably wrecked.
  • Car appears to be listing to port

Is it fast? Possibly. Is it a mess? Sure looks like it, no doubt cosmetically at least.

Ideal 50cc (70cc) scooter! 55mph, 100+mpg, Yamaha Zuma, Gets up hills! - $2399 (Colorado Springs)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reply to: sale-771893902@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-07-27, 11:12AM MDT



Tired of not being able to get up hills on your Yamaha Zuma Vino or C3, Honda Ruckus, Honda Metropolitan or cheap Chineese scooter? So were we! We sold out 2008 Zuma because it was SO weak and bought this! It's the IDEAL 50cc scooter! Here's why:

- Upgraded to 70cc (but still classified as 50cc, so still no need for license, insurance, or registration). This upgrade usually costs $600+ installed.
- Easily gets up hills WITH 2 PEOPLE ON IT!! I've hit 55+mph on it
- Custom 2-tone paint without UGLY flame decals that come on all of them - Has Yamaha windshield, which makes for smooth, quiet ride
- Yamaha, NOT A CHEAP CHINESE SCOOTER THAT WILL FALL APART NEXT YEAR!!

Don't make the same mistake we made and buy a brand new, stock 50cc scooter. They're worthless on any road with a speed limit higher than 25. Yeah, they reach 35mph, but it takes 5 minutes to get there! With 2 people they're worthless.

The scooter has 1000 miles, and is a 2004. That's an average of about 16 miles a month; not bad! We're moving out of town in 2 weeks, and if we can get rid of it, that'd be nice to not move it, but if the price is not right, we're taking it with us. Recently: oil change, tune up and new spark plug. Over $3,500 invested in it. $2,399 or best offer.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so you have a scooter that was $1700 new that you put a $200 top end kit on to make worth $2400 5 years later?

I emailed him to ask him what the hell he meant by "oil change". The response? "Scooters need oil changes just like a car".

When I responded asking if he A. was retarded and having a mechanic take his money, or B. was retarded and lying about what he did to the scooter in the ad, for some reason I didn't get a response.

I also tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and ask if he was talking about transmission service with the oil. Apparently not.

For those not familiar with the scooter, Yamaha Zumas are 2 stroke engines.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I'd guess:

Fuel pressure
Oil pressure
Oil temp
Water temp
Boost PSI or KPa
Air/Fuel Mixture
Tach, or shift light

But that's assuming the car is actually built up (it does look it, though not 18000 dollars worth of 8 year old built up). Otherwise, gauges are like NAWS... the more you go the faster the car must go (same goes for the Tach... the larger the tach the more RPMs it must be able to handle :rice: )

He's probably adding it to the two-stroke oil injection reservoir. These exist on a poo poo load of two strokes. It eliminates the need to pre-mix fuel/oil mixtures. They break easy though.

squid posted:

The bike currently has 8044km on it. The oil was changed 4 times within the first 2000km and has been changed again with IPONE R4000 10W40 semi sinthetic oil twice more. I am asking $12,895 for the bike. The bike has over $4000 in accessories on it plus all the time that was spent installing it.
Here is the list of goodies I have installed on it:


1. KR Tuned no-cut frame sliders
2. hotbodies LED flushmount font signals
3. factory solo seat
4. Full custom decal kit
5. swingarm spools
6. factory smoke double bubble windshield
7. power commander III usb
8. Two Bros titanium Vale slip-ons
9. full custom map / tuning
10. installed four PIAA H7 super white bulbs as well as PIAA led marker lights in the corners of the headlights
11. Clear Alternatives integrated tailight
12. Galfer front and rear wave rotors

the sale will also include a stock windshield with the decals as well both stock front rotors as well as rear rotor which you could easily sell on ebay for a couple hundred bucks at least.
