Too bad it's an automatic. The price is probably reasonable given the work involved, but it's really hard to justify when you can get an older corvette for the same money.

Still, the FD was my dream car in high school so maybe when I have disposable $$$ I can pick one up.

That yellow 993 cab has been for sale for years with an equally crappy craigslist ad.

Like I posted earlier, then you've got a LOT of alerts because you post such a wide variety of them. :considered:

What are you using for alerts? I use IFTTT and use up my allocation when I'm running recipes on things that get a lot of action.

I would say quite abit. I know of one car that was first posted on here the first time which got bought. And the second time it got posted was sold too.

fliptuner 05-05-2017 12:51 PM

I'd say at least a couple dozen. People just don't post that they did.

This thread helped with my s2k purchase but I did find the car posted on autotrader first.

I have bought a car from a member and have also sold one to a member a few years back.

Car is in great shape, 1 owner only and with a box full of maintenance records.
There isn't even a door ding on the car. I knew if I didn't pull the trigger someone else would immediately. Only managed to knock down the price by $200, but I thought it was worth it.

It looks cool, but it is a HUGE red flag when the only info about an aftermarket turbocharged vehicle is "top mount".... No brand, km, is it tuned, what brand IC or manifolds etc etc.

Low KM for the price and being a 98, it has a heavy duty transmission.

Brings me back to the good old days of car shopping when not every good deal was sniped by some shitbag car flipper.

LOL ya I would. emailed

I bought my first GTI from the buy n sell (and sold it there), and helped my buddy buy a corrado (that I eventually bought from him) from the province classys.

This whole hobby started by going through the papers with car dudes in the break room.

thumper 05-05-2017 08:17 PM

still remember going to the library after school to take out the copy of the buysell only to find out half of everything i wanted has already been circled or cut out by someone else :(
