It's probably all vinyl, but a 2012 Si Coupe starts at like under $23k. I wonder what all suspension stuff it has that makes him think it's worth $44k.

That car is the automotive equivalent of a "Kick Me" sign. And Paramore is as much a screamo band as U2. This is screamo.

 I'm not much for the paint job, but everything else looks solid, although I'm kind of worried that there are no interior shots. If anyone here is an "expert" with Novas... is there anything special I should look for in terms of known problems?

I know it's not craigslist, but holy loving poo poo: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/85-Toyota-Corolla-GTS-/180793921968?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2a182851b0#ht_500wt_1182 12k for a 27 year old rustbucket, ratty rear end Corolla with nearly 200K? He couldn't even be bothered to take decent pictures of the thing, either. No way in gently caress does being in an anime make that car worth even a fraction of that. If someone buys that thing at that price, I will never have faith in humanity again. mao the dong fucked around with this message at 11:16 on Jan 17, 2012 |

The roof is just surface rust, nothing bad. However, there is no way I'd spend $12k on that. Not even $1.2k. Plus the seller has no selling/buying history.

You Am I posted:It's San Francisco, they wouldn't rust that badly there. The roof is just surface rust, nothing bad. Fair enough. Still, for 12k, poo poo better be concours-quality if we're talking 80s econobox. And have some good engine/suspension/something work done to it, because drat. Pretty sure that's over MSRP for that car, as-new. Now, I looked, and yeah, several thousand over MSRP. Maybe he hosed up the decimal, because if not, poo poo.

God damnit, someone hosed up a perfectly nice super rare Solstice turbo coupe: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/2796889028.html I think there's only something like ~300/1100 of them that were the turbo GXP model. What a shame. Also, $70k for that? I wonder how much meth the owner is on. mod sassinator fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Jan 19, 2012 |

I think that is reasonable for some gaudy chrome rims, skull/cobra hood and a ballin' rear end shifter.

It is one thing to ruin a GXP of a Civic SI with tacky body work and awful paint. But doing that to a 250GTE, well that should be a felony. I assume it is already a mortal sin. Behold! Look into the face of HORROR.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1962...=item337088a47f How does someone with that level of bondo skill even get hold of a car like this? Still, even at that price, it is sorta tempting to fantasize about buying it and slowly righting the wrongs while you drive it. Given how poo poo most of the work is, it might even be possible to knock most of it off with a hammer.

Look, I love rat rodded high end cars as much as the next person, but holy poo poo, did you see the snorkly intake on the fron end? AND the RSR style intakes, this crossed the line from funny and is well into sad territory. Edit: gently caress it. I am going to bid on it.

With a front mounted distributor that's not a Chevy engine, looks to me like either a Caddy or Buick V8.
