Summary- "Hey, It's got a dead cylinder @ 200K miles but I still want $1500 for it. Maybe I could pawn this off on a volvo enthusiast?"

wtf?

This thread is great. Thanks for the laughs.

2004 range rover. Beautiful car I just don't have the money to fix it. My soon to be x husband went a Lil crazy and busted the windows out and flattened the tires. Other than that its in perfect shape. It has custom interior and a custom paint job also. We had it appraised And they said 1800 would have it fixed. Ive only had it 4 months And I gave 11,000 cash. I only drove it 5 days when he busted the windows etc. I have the 20 inch factory rims that go with it. It will crank and run like a brand new one the way it sits. The only problem is somewhere in my process of moving i lost tbe title . So I don't have a title.

Found this gem this morning. Apparently there is a secret value of this car above $100, and he may have plans for it, but you don't have the security clearance to know

My wife wants to text him every 5 minutes all day offering $75 CASH NOW.

$13,000 for this!

1988 Caprice, um.....thing

That was one hell of a rant. And selling it only on Labor Day? Who does that?

2004 911 Carrera Cabriolet, automatic, $35,000. It has but 23,000 miles, but things have occured during those miles, and I don't mean the surprisingly tasteful wheels. Check out the black and green livery.And look at the shrinky-dink seat embroidery.

In reply to Mike:

Hahahaha, the embroidery is pealing off.

Originally found a on BaT, but just had to repost it here....

1985 Renault Alliance Convertible

$3500? I'll grant them it looks to be in ridiculously good condition- almost certainly owing to being in NM away from anything resembling 'weather'- but I'm sorry, the Alliance is probably the LAST car I would ever want to own. I learned to drive on 5-speed Alliance sedan and I will NEVER find a worse clutch than that one. Learning to drive a double-clutched truck would have been easier.

My trainee wifes parents had one when they were new back inthe 80's. Admitidly this was in the UK so not a feneralized version, and despite the bad rap they have here they weren't bad cars. They even made a turbo version and rallied it in WRC

Let's face it $3.5K for a mint 80's rare anything doesn't sound too bad to me for some cheap open air fun. I bet there is some wiggle room in there.

Look how cloudy those headlights are. I don't believe 23K miles. If 23K is true then look for evidence of an unreported accident rebuilt with used parts. Looks like a $15K car without the green abomination to me.

So it doesn't get lost when the ad is taken down. The pictures show a ragged out POS on a trailer. Oddly, for a car that runs and drivers, it has been winched on to the trailer.
78 Caprice Classic - $100
I have a 78 caprice could possibly be for sale. I DO NOT NEED TO SELL. Do not lowball me, I will either laugh at you or block the number. I am interested in trades for similar cars, but cash is king. I don't have a set price, but I have turned 2 offers down with it in my drive way for 3 hours. This will be for sale for labor day only. Do not ask me to hold it. If you don't have cash in hand or cannot get cash by the end of labor don't waste either of our time. The car does run, drive. It will need new belts, and some love. I don't know much about this car. All I know is it has a 305 v8 2brl auto. There is 46000 actual miles. I was told I am the 3rd owner. I do not care about all that, nor do I care what you plan on doing with this car. I know what I have planned. If you are not serious do not waste my time. Texting is the best way to contact me. I will not take 100 or scrap price.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson:

Being garaged rarely or never could do that to the lights. Looks like the car has been neglected badly.

Yeah, my former year-newer Prius had headlight plastic at least that bad from being kept outside all the time... isn't a function of mileage as much as UV exposure (though the plastic being buffeted by dust for many miles doesn't help things either).

In reply to Keith Tanner:

LOL thanks for posting the text! I had forgotten about that ad, I was almost tempted to go look at it (with a few select big friends as 'assistants') to see what the ad writer looks like in person.

Regarding Ratrods: I've come to conclude that determined Ratrod selling price is inversely proportional to the to the build quality which is inversely proportional to the amount of pipe the owners pulled on to determine the price.

Check my math.

I'm a little bit ambivalent about that u-joint next to my thigh...

Oh, I didn't consider it finished. That floor would be getting a massive sheetmetal tunnel, at the minimum. I've seen enough dragrace video of exploding clutches and flywheels to know better.
