Buying An FB...Needs da Help

Ok.
Here's what's up guys, I had myself a nice mazda 626 however, over new years some bitch had to hit it while it was parked. We had a nasty new years and it wasn't too cool to be where I was. Anyway, the ******* insurance agency is probably not going to give me any damn money for my car even though the dumb bitch got outa control heading down the hill. So I already own an FC but want an FB so I can drive in the winter and have a little fun with here and there. I know they aren't going to be good in the winter but I am a hardcore drifter so I know what to do when the car get's a little sideways. Moreover I am not really in Maine all that much so it won't touch the awful snow for too long. Anyway I am currently in Greensboro NC and found an 83....don't know what model but it is red, doesn't seem to be rusted at all, has 148k on original and has no mods that were listed. Anyway this jackass wants like 1900 for the damn thing when my friend just bought a far from stock, mint 84 gs for almost half than that. I am very acostomed to the FC so I know a rotary. Moreover, I know this is ******* over priced. I was wondering about how much you think it would go for? I was thinking like 500 at most cause it is so stock and so old. I don't know, maybe I am an idiot cause I got a 140k 89 gxl for 1500 and it runs great to this day. However, it is up cause I didn't want to take it the first year of college. anyway.....any help towards buying this thing would be cool and thanks for all the info and help guys.

Well ****, I think you should tell that jackass to lower his G*d damn ****'n price. There's no way in hell he's gonna sell that ******* bitch to you at that ******* price. But if the ****'n thing is like totally ****'n rust-free, (didja check the storage bins?), then maybe 1900 isn't too far off. Offer 800. Good ****'n luck!

Yeah, see 100 is in my price range. I don't know I think I can get him down to atleast 6. I talked with him the other day and he seemed like a real quick one (sarcasm). Anyway, the rust thing I don't know about and I havn't checked under the storage bins. Should I just dupe him some way and tell him there is rust down there and go there one morning and tell him to start it up and when it blows smoke, tell him his oil control rings are burned and soon it will need a good ole rebuild. I have always wanted to do this just because I had this done to me with the 626; I paid way to much for what I got. Anyway thanks for all the help guys. Yeah I figured fb's are quite fun, I want one cause they look cool, they got carbs and my friend swears by them. He rallies the, and on road races with me all the time along with auto Xing.

I told you to get the one sitting in the snow bank back at home, and my car is an 85 not an 84.

are you talking about me?? the car to which I am refering is not mine, Braden is a good friend of mine, now the only question is who the heck are you? I was just trying to be helpful to him since he had told me he was looking for a cheap car and the one in question is just that.

He wasn't talking about you....


And often ******* times the price of a ******* stock car is ******* higher than a modded ones cause ******* people don't want to see ******* mods.
