Personally, a tastefully modded car loses some of its coolness factor if it only has 2 pedals.

Probably has to do with the fact that the slushbox versions of both my past car(08 Accord Coupe V6) and my current car(09 RX-8) are very disappointing compared to the manual versions. I understand that some 2-pedal are faster than 3-pedal nowadays, but really, how many people buy AT cars because they are faster, not because they can't drive a stick?

It's just hard for me to really like CVT. Yeah, it can do nice MPG and optimize every RPM and speed combination, but if I feel sleepy and bored in a stepped AT already, I think I will need 2 big cups of coffee in the cup holder to stay awake in a CVT.

Just wanted to see what ridiculous crap they'd say. The email is simply too good.

They didn't disappoint.

Some of them, maybe.

And same could be said for RX-8 AT.

Gosh... I hate dealing with ridiculous lowballers.

I've had a dealership offer me $4k on a trade in. Accounting for the money saved from taxes, that's worth ~$4.5k. So I listed my car for $6.5k, expecting some room to negotiate. And this guy has the guts to tell me via email that he'll give me $2k cash and take the car right away.

Yeah fxxking right...

Ended up trading the car in (at $4k) because I didn't want to bother with these fxxkers anymore...

Just send the lowballers on a wild goose chase. Meet location Chilliwack or some absurd believable location.

Of course there are exceptions, like in your case. Sorry I am a bit biased. Just got no love for AT nowadays.

I raced my automatic corolla at AutoX, people wondered why would I bring a AT to autox. My main goal was just to learn how to be a better driver and the corolla was the only vehicle I had and could afford. I'm sure some of the novice drivers snickered at first.. But when I was beating their time not including PAX, I think they realized it really wasn't about what car you drove, but how you drive it.

Autocross is meant for anyone with any car, so I wouldn't laugh at anyone with a cheaper car. If you can drive it well, great job!

Selling iconic 1985 Hyundai Pony with automatic. Well preserved and everything is original.
Hyundai Pony is sold in Korea for $20000 ~$60000 as it is an iconic vehicle for Korean automobile history. Also demand for Hyundai Pony in the movie industries are huge but there aren't many available anymore. Thus the value of Hyundai Pony will get sky rocketing over years. Buy it for investment, I unfortunately have to sell it due to moving.

1997 Nissan 240SX - 676 orig miles! YES 676! - $100000

Spoiler!


That all sounds really neat, until you realize it's a base model. There's no way in hell the "specially built" car for auto shows would be a base model with only a few options, and the S14 with a KA24 was only sold in North America so why would it have been used at international auto shows? Apparently the CarFax checks out as a 1 owner, 676 mile car, but the story behind it is b/s.

When I buy something off CL or even RS buy/sell I always just pay what they ask. If I feel is too high I just won't even contact them. Is a waste of both parties time.

When I meet up unless the items is really different than the pictures I usually just paid and leave. That being said I am buying CL/ RS buy/sell less and less. Is just too risky these days.

1999 S15 Silvia (Spec R) - $12500
https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/bnc/...355959609.html

Quote:
Description: 2000 Honda S2000. This is the car that allows true drivers to step into a completely new level of driving pleasure. Legends in the racing world made their names from these beasts that cut down the competition year after year.

The thrill of driving such an outstanding car like this can be fully appreciated in the magnificent mountain roads that make up most of Canada. With suspension upgrades and an astonishingly healthy motor you will have little trouble making a believer out of yourself and your passengers.

This is a very rare and sought after rhd Silvia Spec R. Has some goodies like the coilovers, camber played, strut bar and exhaust.

Priced to move very quickly as space is at a premium.

Price is $12500 obo.

Call/text (778)322-6560

I also hate all the irrelevant tags. If I was looking for an M3, I'm definitely not looking for a S15.

Semi-related, I haven't posted anything on CL for a while.
I put up my wife's iPhone and within 2 hours I got 15 texts/emails.
14 out of 15 o them felt like a scam.

They all go along the lines of:
"Hi there I'm interested in your phone, I'll need you to ship it out to (insert random city) because it's for my wife/son/gerbil/donkey. I'll give you an extra $200 for your troubles. I can do Moneygram/Paypal."

I just copy/pasted my reply to all of them "Thanks for your interest however I do prefer selling locally, if I don't get it sold I'll let you know"

I didn't even want to waste my time. However I am curious, if I did follow up on the text, how would it work? Wouldn't I ask for the paypal transaction first, then ship it out?
Or do these people already have a systematic way of asking you to ship first then don't pay?

It's amazing (and pretty sad) how well received my emails are, when they don't sound like they're sent by a 17 year old crackhead, that can't form a proper sentence.

Still got it?
I want to see it send me you're number.
I'll buy it right now for :lowball:

Fuck off.
