Dude is a great storyteller! In college (1983) I had $2K to buy a car, I came across a 64 1/2 Mustang, guy was asking $3500. I offered $1750. Guy immediately answers "$1850". Done! I drove that car for 16 years

gotta love it when an owner doesn't care enough about a car to take proper care of it then all of a sudden values it when someone else wants it

@manfredschmalbach9023 2 года назад

There's a point in "all of a sudden values it when someone else wants it" where it literally pays should You happen to be the only one actually wanting it - even more so with a dealership still having a bill open they remind the owner recurrently of ..... I got 50.000 € boats for the money they needed to pay the recent (plus reminders) and the upcoming due Marina bill from the heirs more than once.

@noth606 Год назад

it may not be that simple of a story, there is a 1991 Toyota Celica 4x4 turbo JDM spec original WRC platform but in meh paint and finish in Berlin right now being driven rarely by an Italian girl who won't sell it and can't really. That's my car, or it's 'ours' on unspecified terms. She drives it every so often to keep it running OK but atm there are no plans for it on short term other than to keep it running. Eventually I want to restore it gently, but it has some weird 'issues' which is why it just sits. It has a strange rim size that tyres aren't really made for, and a bolt pattern and wheel spec that can't be just bought, without either having custom machining done or a bunch of iffy spacers. Wheels is the only real way but custom made and it costs a lot to do on a car that is never used. So it's in limbo atm. There are some other issues that require more custom crap to fix, the wipers for one - as dumb as it sounds.

@windowsdown3684 Год назад

while this is performance, it is also a GT Cruiser, an autobahn stormer, this is not performance car in the same realm as a small corvette, or a small, low slung RX7.. it is a large car build on the s class chassis. freight train power for burnouts and long comfortable journeys all while looking badass. different customer than your porsche 911
