Last of a breed. Big engine, RWD wagons are extinct. I just sold a 75k mile one for almost $7000. That car you could probably buy for $5000, then immediately put on eBay for $9500 and get it. Quickly.

Aside from what was mentioned by meatpimp, it's got rare options like the vista roof and wood-esque paneling. If I had any way of acquiring that car right now, I would.

There's also an '85 XT turbo about 15 miles down the road from him for $400 that's been in a barn for 10 years. When the hell did Tennessee become an '80s Subaru junkyard?

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.

I wouldn't even think of paying that unless it was a convertible. And then I'd think long and hard.

Untitled can mean one of three things:

1) Some previous owner lost the paper title and the current owner bought it that way. It's possible to have the state print a new one but usually a gigantic pain in the rear end.

2) The current owner owes a pile of money on it and doesn't feel like repaying. The lienholder (HSBC/GMAC/your local credit union) is the actual owner of the vehicle, and you won't be able to register it until they are paid off.

3) It's stolen.

For all the people posting craigslist ads like those, there have to be people buying from those listings. I know I cringe when I'm perusing the Computers section and see 5 year old machines listed as MONSTER GAMING MACHINE's. But people must buy them I guess. Stupid people selling, stupid people buying.
