Ok so who is it

http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/1528453843.html

He wants $1500 for a rather clean looking S5 with a motor that needs a rebuild...
Says he has 12 other 7's.

I wouldnt pay more then MAYBE 800 for it, if it was super super clean.
$300 fix does not compute....

he is the guy who has been posting "want to buy rx7" ads on craigslist for the last few months.. He is a 7 flipper, sells them for a pretty penny and gets them for cheap.. I saw that ad a few hours ago and wondered how the logic there works too... I doubt that most who would get it could fix it, so a rebuild would have to happen and thats more than the 3k he is saying its worth when fixed... lol

Wow that is not worth it... It sounds like it has the same issue my car does with the smokey... and I paid under $1000 for my car... ugh.

If someone pays $1,500 for that - I feel sorry for them. lol

Is he on the forum? I saw these CL posting a few days ago and laughed a bit inside. A lot of people lately are trying to sell a 7 that need a "$30" part to be fine again. To bad that part is a coolent o ring! Haha, the misleadings of scandalous people... always trying to find a sucker to take advantage of.

i have been tumbling over the idea of throwing up a post on craiglist saying what it takes to have a rebuilt engine done, right next to his ad.... Tempting, and might help some poor kid who wants a 7 get it to find they dont have deep enough pockets and then give up on it entirely...

agreed. i was lookin into one a couple months back. the guy wanted 3k and he said it has some mystery coolant leak and that it blew a lil white smoke when it started. also going into limp mode "easy fix, only a new omp for 50$" i called him and told him his motor is toast due to the coolant seal and his omp that went out and id give him 300$ for the car. he said hes been running it in limp mode for the last year or so. he claimed he could still sell it for 3k and i laughed then hung up.

Sun roofs usually sell between 150-180, so asking 200 isn't redic. same with the GSl rearend. i've seen them sell as high as 350, so 150 isn't bad at all.

IMO I thought those prices were about right. $80 for a fender is about what some wrecking yards charge.
