so many things wrong with this ad. "one of a kind" ???? WTH? there are millions of these running around america. only 50-100$ to cut out the cat.... ok. and then what? another 50-100$ for replacing the section that is cut out, or new exhaust- 800$ this dude needs to smoke another chiba and pass this car along like a doobie.

lol These types of ads always make me laugh. This guy is really reaching for the stars thou, the only sad part I fear is that there is people actually willing to fall prey to this sort of nonsense...

Haha he sounds excited about the car as well. Like it's the rarest car on CL and anyone that happens to look at the ad would be compelled to buy. And what's up with the crappy steering wheel as well?? Idiot

These ads usually upset me to some degree because the seller is like "i know what i have" attitude and nothing could be further from the truth...lol...i'd pay his askin' price in a heartbeat for a restorable r100 before I would spend it on a run of the mill (mint) gsl fb.

Its worth what someone is willing to pay. I just dont think he will get his asking price on that one.

I would say it is worth about $1,500-$2,000. That is just my opinion though.

There are only a couple glossy paint looking pictures some unverified claims by the seller and a couple confusing remarks suggesting stupidity. Too many unknowns here to accurately access a value, plus 101K miles?

If I "HAD" to buy it with only that to go on, sight unseen, I'd have to assume it was part scam and the car would need more than just a little additional money to fix the things that are not mentioned. Anything over $1000 / $1200 could be putting you upside down to begin with. A plain jane 101K mile car in great shape "might" bring $2500. As far as not finding a "cleaner car anywhere" he obviously has not been to my garage.
