1987 VW Vanagon Subaru WRX Powered - $15000 http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/931091821.html   This is great for those Pacific-Northwest car enthusiasts who can't decide between Subaru and VW. (I grudgingly admit that this is pretty awesome, though).

Pretty Little Rainbow posted:12A Rotary/Motorcycle engine obviously. Rotary swaps run into big problems on the GT, I think because of the transverse-leaf front suspension. On paper, a GT plus a 12A/13B/whatever is a match made in heaven, but I don't think I've ever seen evidence that a running example exists. The only way to make it "less slow" without re-engineering the whole goddamn car is to get an Opel 2.4 and upgrade it. At the end of it you might have 200hp but at least it fits in the car.

Over the summer this was true, scrap car bodies were $250 a ton at any scrapyard. The bottom fell out months ago and the price is hovering around $50 a ton. Its not worth firing up my wrecker to pick up a junk car to take to the scrapper unless its free. And even then I only stand to make a few bucks after fuel and time spent. Anyone else notice the $100-200 cars reappearing on craigslist? Defcon62 fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Nov 26, 2008 |

This guy that lives near my parents had a cherry 67/68 mustang, full restored. He sadly never EVER drove it. Just kept it under the car port. His wife would put potted plants and poo poo on it. Eventually, the car was gone completely, and now in its spot is a hot tub. Yeah, that now has plants and poo poo on it. My dad tried to buy it many times, cash in hand. The same story was "Im saving it for my son". his son is a 20-something with a riced ford focus hatchback. Oh well, hopefully the car got a good new home with actual use.

gently caress, my stepmother did the same thing to my dad. http://www.songofthewinds.com/pictures/Stangs.jpg '67 Fastback and a '64.5 Convertible. Restored (Though never deteriorated that much, just went from 'almost beaters' to "show winning oh gently caress fapfapfapfap" cars) by him and his dad. Then he got married, and whoosh, the first things that had to go.

Jesus christ, I found a new pet peeve. Why the gently caress do these people that advertise on local Craigs/Kijiji place ads in cities ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE loving CONTINENT? You see a car you kind of like, click on it and see that the location listed is local, but the ad says its 4000 miles away? Yeah, sure, lots of people are going to buy your sub $2000 car from 3 time zones away.

Great little starter bike that a person could probably get for $700-ish (around $500 or so US). I'd be all over this if I knew someone just starting out. It looks mint and has 14K KMs (under 9K miles). http://lethbridge.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-1980-Yamaha-SR250-Excellent-Condition-W0QQAdIdZ91187283 quote:1980 Yamaha SR250. Only 14,000 Kms. Excellent condition. Starts, runs, and drives like new. Electric start, shiny chrome, center stand, great paint, and lots of tread on tires. Needs nothing! Complete and everything works. Buy yourself something nice with all the money you will save on fuel! This bike is awesome! Asking $900 O.B.O. Will consider trading for items of similar value (Utility trailer, welding machine, plasma cutter, vehicles, other?) Let me know what you have. Will pay/take difference in cash. Bike is in Lethbridge. Contact through email, or call/text 403-892-4148. More pictures available. Thanks for looking. slidebite fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Nov 30, 2008 |

I hope it's as awesome in person as it looks in those pictures  The funny thing is how much more other similar cars of that vintage would go for in that shape, like a 914 or a BMW. There's just so little demand for the GT that even an example like that goes for a drat near bargain.

I've emailed and talked to the seller up until it sold but i did not buy it. No matter what i bid the guy who won would outbid me almost instantly so once he bid it above 10k i bowed out. It would have probably went for a couple grand more if i would have kept bidding. We actually may have located a similar one closer to my location so i think he's going to check it out and see what he can get it for. He was prepared to go over 10k but i wasn't considering the guy i was bidding against really wanted it worse than i did. I set a hard price of what i want to pay and once it gets there i'm done and this was one of those cases.
