idiots abound

 

It's not easy being green...

Must sell at a considerable loss, indeed.

 

UH...

Moving - Must sell at a considerable loss. Car needs reassembly (approx 45 hours). It is a rolling chassis but due to an injury, I am not able to reassemble it.


it is not assembled?..
Gee..I dunno..for 50k you would want a freakin car that is..well.. a CAR...not a Lego project.

 

Wow! Just when I thought I'd seen it all.... LOL

 

That car is going to collect a LOT of dust waiting for just the right buyer [sucker] to come along.

 

This makes my eyes sad.

doesn't come assembled????????

 

it looks cool but not assembled??? really!

 

Uh-oh...

Quite aside from the questionable aesthetics (taste is always personal), the notion of having $150k in this car is what should really raise eyebrows- that, and asking $59,000 for a collection of parts is quite the stretch.

A quick search of Autotrader.ca for Calgary using as the only criteria "between $55,000 and $65,000" within 100km found 132 mostly lightly used Porsches, Mercedes, M3s, Z06s, Lotus Evoras, and so on. Some pretty awesome rides, none of which come "assembly required".

It's an extraordinary amount to ask for any FD, let alone a half done project - which normally should go for half-off (or less - often much less) what the same car would ready to drive. I'd pretty much guarantee there's much more than 45 hours of work needed for this car - probably more like the new owner will spend 40 hours just trying to figure out what *%$@! the previous owner was doing and whether it's all there or not.

I predict it will languish for a year, and ultimately be quietly sold for $7500, with a case of beer thrown in by the seller

 

Completely ruined the rims could have gotten nice grand or more for those rims in oem finish

 

Can someone who lives out that way make an appointment to go see the car please? I'd hate to think this is just a scam, I'd much rather think someone is just that ridiculous.


Also - because no one has said it yet - Because race car

 

He's in North Van, house prices there average $1.43 million. Maybe he just figures everyone is made of money out there, rather than the more likely answer that most are house-poor.

 

"Has been sold"


.....[received a lot of hatemail]

 

Errmmmm.... thats no race car. Its a parking lot poseur.

I bought it... wish I saw this thread...

 

I wish I had thought to save pictures

 

The Autotrader ad link you posted at the top still works, so why couldn't you grab the pics? Reports of its sale appear to be greatly exaggerated. I assume the "has been sold" was a response of the seller to an email reply you sent to the ad? That, or it really is a scam, because a reputable seller should remove the ad when it's sold. Did you make him an offer? $5900?

This "race car" hasn't gathered nearly enough dust yet for a seller asking that kind of money to have realized he's going to be lucky to get a fraction of what he's asking.

 

Oh, I checked it last week and it came up dead - car sold

 

Well i ll give him props for being unique but, wrong car, wrong colours,wrong price

 

Wow, the RE-A rims turned into that

 

FINALLY, some RE-A goods that no one wants lol.

 

Strange, no one's signed up for this $150,000 value at the low, low price of $59,000. That's like making $91,000 (!!!) for buying "an insanely fast, unique, craftsman built show-winning sports car that will stand out wherever you go and turn heads..." (some assembly required)

I did have some question about how a car that hasn't been assembled can be either insanely fast, or show-winning -? Like the asking price (and alleged value), subject to extreme hyperbole?
