hahahaha, that story makes me want to get some gremlin badges and put them on the rx just for the hell of it. great story.

 

... just needed paint and a new top. (yeah, right)

Seller had flaky buyer with negative feedback on his original auction. I called him on the phone, we talked but he was proud of the bidding action.

On his next auction after the flake non-payed on him, he again had nothing but 0 and low feedback bidders. I called and talked to him again.

I said, You know where this is going 'cause you've been down this road before and I refuse to bid against low/nofeedback flakes.

Offered him $1100 and he ended the auction early. Runs great, drives great. Over the last 6 mos. I have put another $1000 into it; exhaust, top, switches, springs, struts, short shifter, tires.

Lacking only the paint, waiting on that so I can put on the new top.

 

all stock xcept rb turbo back exhaust, rebuilt motor with 7k on it $2700

 

$5400 back in 99. 90 vert w/ 60k miles.

 

$200.00 cdn and when I got it it was flooded that was an easy fix body in pretty good shape there was a bit of surface rust under the hood by the sshock towers

 

88 SE bad trans
89 GXL runs great
both for $2000

 

'88 convertible, bought it in June from the GF for $1. It needed some power steering and brake repairs that she couldn't afford. So I bought it from her, got the repairs done, and drive it as a second car mainly on the weekends (and to work occasionally on nice days).

Of course, I also gave her the down payment on an Acura RSX Type-S as a birthday present in mid-May, which mitigates the $1 to some degree.

 

I bought mine last week for $2000....the guy wanted $2500. The car has 70k km on new engine and by the feel I'm going to have to rebuild the transmission and new clutch. it does need a little tlc the body has rust and the sun roof needs to be cleaned to roll all the way back. But it seems everything else works. oh yeah it's an 87 gxl

 

1st fc was free. bought my boy a clutch cause he didnt have the money then six months later he get a new ride,karma kicks in and he gives me the fc. 2nd one i got it was for $400 the kid wanted 700 but the motor blew 30 mins after starting it all i really wanted it for was for the shell anyway . and my my fc now i got for $550. was setting in the guys drive way for a year cause it wouldnt pass inspection bought it put in a blinker switch passed so all togther i paid $950 dollars for 3 fc'c that a lick i think

Need front clip and right front fender, I have em, will be a winter project.

Need some interior work but will do that little at a time.

I have an S5 NA long block (89), has blown rear rotor. This will be my "learning project"

Still need to figure out how to put pics in my signature!

 

i payed $200 for my 88 convertable but i'am steal trying to get her to turn on!

 

$3500 ($4K after taxes) 87 GXL in great condition with 77K original miles. Found out it has Tokico 5-way shocks in the rear a few weeks later when my friend looked it over. O.O

 

One Tippman paintball gun ($80). I've got an 89 GTU and the interior is great, the extirior needs some work, and the engine is an 88 model that isn't plugged in(wiring harness) so i've got plenty of work to do, but it is a good solid car.

 

undefinedundefinedWell, I see that I did not over pay on my '88 vert NA with under 60K on it, original engine and pretty much stock for $600 about 6 months ago.

 

87 TII 149Kmi $2500 my baby
88 GXL trashed interior $150 just a parts car
89 gtu wrecked $150 has been fixed and painted
87 se 200Kmi $300 minor fire damage
86 se 150Kmi #350 needs front seal on trans

 

$1000 for 90 TII - Dead on compression on 1 rotor. Going to be rebuilding soon. Otherwise in nice shape.

 

I paid $1500 for my 125k mi 88 GXL. Needs some minor bodywork and paint---interrior parts needed too (runs pretty well though). Nothing that a few trips to the junkyard wont fix. I thought I got ripped at first but a friend of mine paid $3500 for an 86 fiero which ended up being a pita to get it semi running.

 

850 cash for my 86 base model, bought it with all the interior ripped out and it has a fuxed up passenger kick panel the door is scrapped/rusted and has minor rust on the fender from a female driving the car right into a divider at the gas station.
