Okay....so this guy understands that much...but he doesn't get the implication of that line...that whatever he's done to this vehicle means it isn't what the buyer wants.



I had no idea that such old vehicles could command such a premium

http://www.jeepbrokers.com/JeepBrokers_CJ8.htm

There's a stock '82 on there for $15k...are you kidding me? One even says "Less than 28,000" of these long wheelbase jeeps were built. That seems like a lot to be considered "rare"...

Also, he claims it has "the longest wheel base of any Jeep on the market"...even though the new 4 door jeeps are 13" longer...

If it's an older jeep that's in good shape with no rust, I can probably see that. But remember, ask high and settle for what you really want.

Scramblers fall into that category, many folk I know in the wheeling community want a Wranger/Jeep pickup. This is it, unless they want to go with the Brute/AEV route with a newer jeep and that costs a fair bit [5 figures].

Unmolested Scramblers are rare, and I can see them going for more than that if they have upgraded axles, lockers, 37" tires, etc.

Now if it was a rusted out poo poo box, then yeah, it's gold but otherwise I don't see anything outlandish about it.

The same guy has another one made by Rowley Corvette, whoever that is. Looks like he has a collection.

He's asking 10k more for it which is funny because you'd think the Miami Vice original replica would be worth more.

Neither of those are the original Miami Vice one. A drug dealer blew it up with a rocket launcher in one episode -- my father has the series on DVD.

I guess its worth what someone will pay for it.

While I'm sure they guy really does have more than that in it (to be in that condition), it's just an F100. There are many more, and I'm not sure what the market is for people wanting a common, old rear end truck in pristine shape.

Do you really think they had only one car? Come on.

Besides, I wasn't implying it was used in the series, rather it was made by the same guy that made the show cars (yes plural), so esentially it's a Miami Vice original model.

Bagged is when air bags are used to raise and lower the car on command, correct?

Gay-rear end tail lights is definitely a first for me, at least coming from the sellers end.

so I don't see how you could possibly be a "poser". People in Cobra replicas aren't looked at as posers, because no one can afford a real Cobra. Same goes for a Daytona Spyder.

If the badges on your car don't belong there, you are a poser. Simple as that.
I don't know that cobras (AC's) get a free pass either. I think they can make a better case since the Shelby cobra was, in some ways, a kit car to begin with. Anyone that slaps a GT350 logo on their 289 deserves a swift kick though.



Not saying it wouldn't fun. Just scrape the badges off first.

Oh I agree with you there, if I actually owned the Daytona replica, I would never pass it off as a real Daytona. It's just that I think the Daytona has the best lines of any car, and even a replica would be the ultimate to me because it's just so drat sexy.

And I don't think most Cobra replica owners pull the poser bullshit either, it's just a timeless sports car that people love that's relatively easy to replicate.

The Thing is one of those "sell a kidney if a nice one popsup" cars, at least for me. The only one I've seen locally is not that nice one, it's rusty in that oh poo poo it's coming apart at the seams kind of rusty. But a nice one? You'd be wrong to not want to drop the top and blast around in your Kübelwägen.

Fun fact: the water pump and climate control servo for this car costs more than $2,000 each from Mercedes (rebuilds from other people cost less) You don't want to know what an entirely new suspension costs on those, but at least MB does a good job at keeping parts for their classics available. Great cars though!

Gotta admire his honesty.

quote:

Are you one of those people who dreams about owning a Jaguar, a Porsche, or a Ferrari? Then you’re an idiot.

If you’re smart like me, there’s only one dream that comforts you when you lay your warm cheek against your cold pillow at night – and that’s the dream of driving (and being seen in!) a used, white, 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante with 142K miles and beige interior. When other people count sheep at night, you count the flirting glances you’d get from others if only you had owned this car. And when your alarm clock rips you away from your magical dreamworld of Mitsubishi-ownership, you’re left with a feeling of emptiness and despair. I know that pain. I was once like you. But now, having achieved all of my goals and perfected my life in every way, I am reluctantly parting with this piece of 4-wheeled perfection. It’s hard to let go, but it fills me with joy to know that I’m fulfilling your life-long dream!

And what does it cost to achieve perfection? For you, it’s only $2,950.

Your car comes complete as a 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante ES White Sedan, 6 Cylinder 3.5 Liter (THIS CAR IS CRAZY FAST). This car is clean, AND very reliable. I would drive it across the country without any concern. If interested, contact me at (864)423-3100 and make an offer.

Fortune favors the bold. Are you bold enough to live your dream of owning a used, white Mitsubishi Diamante?
