Ok, we have a two stall garage full of crap and 3 cars that all deserve a space in it. You do the math. 1990 Mazda Miata - 83k - auto (love/hate kind of thing) - recently repainted just before my dad bought it a few years ago; Chevy red to match the guy's truck and chopper - newer top with glass rear window - black interior (cloth), power windows (pass. side was replaced last week) & locks - totally stock Mechanically, the car is in great shape but could probably use new rear struts. Otherwise, it's solid -- my dad babied the hell out of it (2k oil changes, lol) and the original owner was a Mazda mechanic. Visually, the car looks awesome when you consider the fact that it's almost 18 years old now. I'd probably give it an 8.5 or 9 out of 10 (there's like two door dings on it and that's it). Yeah, I'm aware of what NADA, KBB and all the other official sites value the car at, but I have yet to see one of these ever come close to selling at book value. I've seen similar cars with more miles go for upwards of $8k. So don't even bother with so-called warranted lowball offers. $4500 I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow.
Well let me know if/when you decide. FYI, I think I'm going to put the car on both Craigslist and Carsoup in the next couple of days after I get a response from a wanted ad on cl.
Well the shoddy salesmen inside of me says that I should wash, polish & wax the car before I take pics. But the lazy side of me says to just take some damn pics tomorrow. I'll take some after work tomorrow, hehehe.
But in the meantime, here's the only one I could find of the car to tide anyone over. lol. http://www.t3hw00t.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=483&start=30
Yeah, scroll down about halfway and then there's a better pic of it towards the bottom. lol. Just pretend that the mx bike isn't there. :laugh:
Yeah, I kind of forgot about the hotlink "suprise" if you will. Sorry 'bout that. Upon further inspection, I guess they are similar shades of red. :laugh:
lmfao, yeah i kind of was thinking the same thing, i LOLd when i clicked the link, seeing t3hw00t i should've known going into it
Yeah, I've decided to sell it. 3 sweet cars + 2 stall garage + townhouse = a lot of musical cars. It sucks having to leave one of them outside at night. If we had the room, there's no way in hell I'd want to sell this car.
PS: Exact what I want in vehicle. I would like to pay want western credit union check may I submit paper to you with email address I send over internets? Also, You have won Scotish lottery. Please send amount $4500 to account 80081ES and check amount to $5,000,000 sent your postal box within 14 day of submission. Please send dollars american for payment proper. Happy winner you are!
legit bump. And that email address was actually real - it was some crazy old lady who sucked at the internets (and buying my car). Still for sale!!!
if it's not sold.. what kind of gas mileage does it get? My mom's in the market for a small 2 seater. Red is her color (to match her red jeep she has right now).
The car is still for sale, I guess, however I haven't put it officially back up on craigslist since I've been kind of wishy-washy about selling it. It gets about 30mpg or so. Right now the car is up in Hibbing at my mother in law's house since we don't have room for it down here. (2 cars + 4 bikes + 1 trailer) / 2 stall garage = lmao.
I doubt it, if he's been seeing cars with more miles go for more money. Not to mention the fact that with the current gas prices being what they are a fuel efficient car will get more money.
Post Deletion deleted all posts that were not conducive to selling toms car. If you're serious about buying it OR can keep the feedback constructive then by all means post. If you have no value in your comments or just want to spew crap then don't do it in someones else thread. Tom, good luck with the sale.
