I was searching through ebay and came across this FB from Quebec with an asking price of $16k. Either it's the low mileage (72 000kms) or the unique rotative 5 cylinder engine.

It sounds funny ... 5 cylinder... I could go take a look, it's only 15 minutes from where I am...

 

You should. It could be your only chance to see a $16K first gen car. Definitely ask the seller about the engine! I'd love to hear what they say about it.

 

For $16,000, everything in the photo better be included as well. I could use a new lawn and a couple trees.

 

LOL, and take some pictures of the engine while your at it, maybe you will find tri turbos in there

 

hahahaha rotative pistons. lol.

 

It's a nice, clean looking FB, but at that price I think I'd be expecting 2 or 3 of the same car - I think I'll send the seller a question to that effect

 

Maybe by cylinders he means apex seals and by 5 he means one of the 6 are blown

thewird

 

In that case, I think I'd expect 5 or 6 cars for the price.

 

I did send the seller a question asking if the price was in fact for 3 cars. In addition to being a smart ***, I also made a couple suggestions on fixing the ad for accuracy and better effect - I got no reply, and the ad is still a mess of grammar and factual errors. Maybe he told his wife he'd try to sell the car, but doesn't want to, and this is his way of meeting the letter of her law
