No way in H3ll would I pay that for that car. "Good luck, dreamer" is all I'd say to him.

Possiblement. It does look good in the photo, et j'aime l'intérieur noir. Only 220000 km makes me wonder what happened to the motor though?

I don't get some Rx7 owners who boast abut how cheap they got their cars. Don't we collectively all want some market respect for the Fb and see prices rise?

Even with the exchange rate he's asking too much. Plus only one picture? Its in canada where
it either was garaged all its life (sweet) or not, in which case its got rust for sure.

That guy needs to put down the Molsen. You can have an FD for that much money.

yes and no. i had a 1958 Tr3 from 2001 to 2012, and the prices came up on those, which basically priced me out of the market, which is too bad, out of all the little british cars the Tr3 is the best one.

haha, agreed. My friend had one back in the day and you could drag your fingertips on the ground from the passenger's seat. Such a cool little car.

Yeah you can have a FD for $7000 but some also go for $25,000 or more. It depends on condition. If this car is really worth $10,000 I for one would buy it in a heartbeat. Series 2 cars in top condition are practically nonexistant.

Only 1 picture, and it's from 2008. I'd say, if the car has been garaged all of it's life and it still looks like it did when the picture was taken, it's worth the $10k. I've put almost that into mine and it's still not painted yet. Gotta wonder about the maintenance though. If it was maintained properly, why did the engine need to be replaced?

Because of that last beating, I bought it back from him for $500.00. He bought it from me 13 years earlier and put only 200km on it. I'm in the process of bringing it back to life, for the second time....don't ask! This car always has a way of finding it's way back to me. We'll never part ways again though. I posted some pics of my progress so far:

I have to work on some captions, and the dates are all messed up.
