The profile on these Celicas is sooooo good and wow is that alot of money for that condition. Probably should've bought one ten years ago when noone wanted them.

Yeah, I haven't been looking at them for a while now and that's a crazy price for that condition, but everything from the 70's is apparently worth $5k these days so I dunno anymore.

Anyway, here's this beauty:

The complete inability of people to be able to handle photos on craigslist when every single person has a phone on their internet-enable phone these days amazes me.

You obviously don't work in IT, or at least end-user support. It doesn't matter how ubiquitous a thing is, there will always be people who can't be arsed to learn it.

Sure haven't, happy in the polisci world.

I mean, I know people are stupid about technology, but I'm always amazed how little effort is put into trying to sell something for so much money. You'll see people that take pictures of their monitor when it's showing a photo on it and post that and somehow it's also 90degrees off. They're somehow making it even more complicated and then still screwing it up.

That and the huge number of photos taken in the dark.

Considering I know very little about cars but want to know more, the idea of a VW Beetle appeals to me. I've heard they are very simple machines and that sounds right up my alley. That said, is this a bad idea or a decent value? https://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/5935199695.html



Anything I should look out for? Is this an awful idea?

Look underneath for rust? If it drives and doesn't kill you for $1500 whatever

Yeah, Beetles were murder on floor pans. More than one person I know who had one had the seat fall through while they were driving. Another cautioned passengers not to step too hard on the floor as there was nothing under the floormat.

Don't like the look of that puddle underneath,.

Bring an awl with you. Poke at the heater channels, AKA the side runners on the body right underneath where the doors close. Check underneath.

If it pokes through or looks at all rusty, run away and buy mine for 2k.

They have been sitting there +25 years in harsh Finnish climate, no papers, it's 3 hour trip from here, there's no price and he only sells them both together and cant get hold of seller.
Still i want them. :smithicide:

Red one is 2 seater and white 7 seater, that's all the info about the cars. Both are pretty rare, even here. The cars come with spare parts from multiple 95/96.
Hopefully he gets his phone to work or reads his E-mail before he gets them scrapped :sweatdrop:
