scuz posted:What other cars area available in your area for $1k? You've got to compete with cars that don't have any front end damage and no CEL. Have you considered parting it out? every other car has a similar condition Maybe I'm being too up front about the issues? Every other car has rust, cosmetic damage, a mechanical issue or something. I thought a grand for a running Honda with a bunch of new parts was a good deal. Maybe I'm wrong? Winter is coming and surely people are looking for winter beaters. We get 100+ inches of snow here and a FWD cheap Honda should be a hot commodity, I would think? I don't have the time to part it out and my brother has a neighbor that offered $500. I thought it'd be worth more but maybe I'm wrong? CornHolio fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Oct 1, 2015 |

I mean I wouldn't lie, but you have some good qualities and you just sort of bullet point them. Talk about how meticulously maintained it is or something. I do think the mismatched wheels are killing you in the image. It looks pretty janky. (put the same ones on each side!!!)

It... hasn't been though. It's my brother's car, he's had it eight years and he can't even change a flat tire. I've kept it running and done most of the basic maintenance on it but I can't really call it "meticulously maintained." It's pretty overdue for a timing belt but shhhhh. It really does run and drive good though, for a thousand bucks I still think it's a good deal. I've paid more for shittier cars. I did finally get a text on it so I think the changes may have helped.

Yeah, selling this car hasn't been the easiest thing to do, logistically. I'm tasked with selling it (since I've sold plenty of cars before and am the only one that knows anything about anything), but it's my brother's car and he lives across town, and our dad has the title. I've cut my brother out so now only me and my dad have to be there, and I'm wondering how legal it would be to just have him sign the title so I can do it all myself and have the car at my place.

Anyone in the Boston area need a beater? http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/5262792081.html Goon price $900. Brakes are a little weak right now but too apathetic to do anything about it. Exhaust manifold (gasket) leaks but passed inspection 1.5 years ago. I have a new replacement manifold with gasket that will be included. Too apathetic and busy to swap that on.

 FREE 1988 VOLVO 244DL That's right, it's free to the first person that wants it (and of course actually shows up). Body is in good shape but it needs paint, interior is in good shape, it will need a drivers door window. Doesn't come with an engine but a M47 transmission is included for shigs. If you've been looking for something to drop a V8 into and go troll the local Camaro/Mustang crowd, this is a perfect starting point. Best part being that it's 100% loving FREE, of course. Located in Charlottesville, VA. Come and get this thing out of my driveway before I have to move. Please? edit: I have a 1989 245DL that I'd be willing to part with for $500 as well.

Needs a fuel pump, maybe a MAF (if I can't find the spare I have), tune-up, and OD solenoid replaced on the transmission. 140k-ish miles iirc. Also all the shocks and bushings are hosed. Also need the drivers door handle replaced, also the interior panel is missing. Has power locks/windows that all work. Terrible Robot fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Nov 12, 2015 |

Anybody in the greater Orlando area want to trade me your stock rims for my upgraded 19" fat tire rims? These came when I bought the car and they aren't my style. They are crazy dirty, but I'll be cleaning them soon and adding more pics. http://imgur.com/hbjXVEQ Any advice on this in general? I can't afford to buy myself stock rims until I sell these, but I also can't have a car on blocks in my apartment complex.

I am selling a red NB-style Miata hard top. The type with the defroster grid (though I never bothered to wire it up). It's in fair condition. Mostly shiny red, with a couple of scuffs. Glass is in great shape. I am also selling 15" Enkei RPF-1s. They have some Toyo T1-Rs on them that have seen a few seasons but could probably give you another summer or two. I am located in southern Wisconsin. PM me with offers. edit: I'll get pics later at home, my craiglist ad appears to have fallen off the face of the earth.

*FREE for pickup in DC metro area* Ford 7.5" LSD carrier + 3.73(?) gears + bearing/install kit That's right, free. I've had this sitting my basement for years and I don't even own a car with a 7.5" diff anymore and I just want it gone and I'd feel bad throwing it away because it's a fairly rare part. It's a rebuilt OEM LSD carrier, probably pulled from an older 4x4 ranger but I don't know for sure, I bought it already pulled. Clutches look good. Came with a set of gears that I believe are 3.73's as well as a USA Gear bearing/install kit. Must pick up in Maryland just outside of DC. No PM, gmail me at ksp7498 if interested. Ford used to sell these under the ford racing brand but it looks like they have been out of stock for a few years now leaving only some aftermarket options. Then again, I don't think there's a lot of people building up 7.5" rears.

lazer_chicken posted:*FREE for pickup in DC metro area* Ford 7.5" LSD carrier + 3.73(?) gears + bearing/install kit FYI: count the teeth on the ring gear and divide by the number of teeth on the pinion. That will get you your ratio. Good info to be certain on for a Craigslist post or what have you. Good luck!

My Miata has finally gone for good and has been donated to a local charity for at-risk youth. I'm selling the hard top, and my Enkei RPF1s if you're interested. Madison, WI area. The RPF1s have some Toyo T-1r summer tires on them that have a summer or two left to give (depending on how leadfooted you are  ). The wheels are 15".http://madison.craigslist.org/wto/5369221008.html http://madison.craigslist.org/pts/5369218149.html

Not worth the effort now that I'm selling my ranger.
