No. Once a year someone around the country will find something like that but I wouldn't count on it being you.Fifteen years ago i used to be able to pick up complete titled awd 1g's for 500 bucks. Do they exist anymore?
Nope, not these days.Fifteen years ago i used to be able to pick up complete titled awd 1g's for 500 bucks. Do they exist anymore?
I can't even find an N/T for $500.
We were talking about this topic over in this thread recently. And it's funny you mention "15 years ago" cause that's the time frame I used too.
I too remember when you could fire up the old Craigslist and there would be a dozen 1g and 2g DSMs listed every week. Plenty of fair condition examples for $900-4000 and always a few as low as $500 that were broken or were no-title-parts cars. I bought and sold a few DSMs over the last 15 years or so and never paid more than $2500 for a running good condition car. They were "cheap speed" and so disposable.
Those days are gone now. Like I said in that last thread, availability reached an apex around 2010-12 and then dropped sharply IMO. Vendor base is drying up and the online pickings for even crappy examples are getting slim. People are asking $4000-7000 for cars that need a good amount of work, are trashed cosmetically, or don't even run.
But, doesn't mean you can't still find a hidden gem or someone that doesn't know what they have or a person that needs to sell cause they need cash asap. Just keep your eyes open and check online listings a couple times per day.
