Shill I put in a bid as well?

There's a topic on this in the diesel section - "Check out this roof rack" thread. Nice car, love the color combo. I wouldn't pay close to 20k for it though, not even half that.

SwampYankee 03-26-2012 03:25 PM

Man, I love everything about that car. The rack is the icing on the cake. IF I were in the position to drop $20ish on another car, I'd probably be foolish enough to enter the fray. :D I rather drive that than a similarly priced late-model.

Lacking a turbo, high altitude buyers will be deterred.

Honus 03-26-2012 03:48 PM

That looks like $20K worth of car to me. I would lose the whitewalls, though.

Lacking AC, warm climate buyers as well.

I am thinking more like $8,000-$9,000 maybe. Beautiful car but not anywhere near $20,000..

You're probably right, but where else are you going to get a car like that for $20,000? It's like having a time machine. The one I would want would be a Euro-spec 300D sedan with a turbo, AC, and a manual transmission. I would pay $20,000 for that car all day long if it was in the condition shown in those photos.

Yep - noticed that too.


This car should be max $8k

Beautiful, but without AC. Forget it.
