You might wanna check out this site: http://www.valuparts.com/ It's how I find my junkyard parts. You might be able to find a whole car this way.

Well for now yes. I showed him the kellys blue book price of $1125 and he said $2250 is as low as he goes. So I said no way, chances are he won't get what he wants for the car. So I could end up getting it in the middle of summer after he still hasn't sold it LOL.

Yeah, it seemed like everyone up there near Detroit always wanted double to triple the amount for anything, not only cars but property prices were way over inflated too. I laughed at all the Big 3 employees that had gone out and 'purchased' these big $1/4-1/2 million houses and then got laid off. I use to live in Bloomfield Twp and Waterford, MI and it took 1 hour during good traffic to go 15 miles to my office in Farmington Hills.

Got tired of it and moved to MO where the prices for things are cheaper and there is none of that no-fault insurance that the insurance companies in MI like to put to ya. We only have to deal with this stupid personal property tax every year even though we own our cars and already paid sales tax on them the State thinks we need to continue paying them.

Yes I'm getting tired of it around here but what can you do, I'm still in high school. Traffic is horrible!!! Orchard Lake Road the main drag through here is insane there is many accidents every day on that road. People are just to pushy! LoL I'm still looking around there isnt many first gens left here. And if I dont find one I will probaly end up looking for a 240z or old porsche.

For some reason the RX market in the southern part of the state is pretty dry. I know that Jackson has 3 in the junkyard (don't know what shape they're in) if you want to drive an hour. Otherwise, head north...they're cheap and semi plentiful...

I have an 84 GS that Im looking to sell for about $500, but Im in Washington. Anyone interested please feel free to contact me. As I said earlier, it's an 84 GS, the body is straight except part of the hood looks a little wrinkled. It has a black sunroof and a white drivers door (the car is creme). It runs and drives, but probably could use a clutch and some engine work (I fear a bad shutter valve). 166K miles on the ticker, and it has drum brakes in the rear. The interior could be better, the radio surround is excellent, as is the headliner and mirror/light console on the roof. The gauges are beautifull, as is most of the dash. The seats need help, as well as everything from the seats back and the door panels. The sunroof **** is functional, and works smooth. All glass is good, with manual windows. The intorior is burgundy cloth by the way. Hope someone out there wants her...
