I paid 5000 for my 95 gst but it was bone stock besides wheels.It had 80,000miles on it.It was not even for sale I just worked with this kid and he had a kid so I was like hey I'll buy your car you should get something more conveinient for a baby.LOL He said yeah I'll sell it and I bought it a couple of days later.I didnt mind paying this much because I knew the motor was bone stock and he drove the car like a 80year old woman.So I go on to build my first car.

DUDE you gutta be more specific...if you mean an 80 year old FLORIDIAN women then i am scared for your car LOL.
 
my silver avatar dsm, i gave a near mint 91 firbired gta for it, why would i do that v8 guys would ask, well i hated the firbird ever since i got it and i have always wanted a awd talon since all my other ones were turbo fwd, just last week i got offered a drift ready 240sx i told his ass get lost and keep dreaming.
 
$8,000 for my 97 AWD bone stock, 1 owner, 52k miles. I was happy, now I've already replaced the turbo, tranny and now engine :confused:
 
Paid 2500 for my 92 gsx. Was listed for 3700 originally with a new alt, new tires, and new speedo cable. Put an alt on in the parking lot, got the tires thrown in. He put it in the shop and fixed a ton of things, blown top end being one of them, and didn't have the money to pay for it. That's where I stepped in :D car is in great shape, evoIII 16g w/supporting mods, agx suspension.

Holy crap dude, since I've been alive, I don't think my parents, my sister, and myself have gone through that many cars. Nice work.
 
My friend was selling mine for $4000 told me if I bought it he'd sell it to me for $3500 (friend discount) It was in perfect condition and had a brand new paint job and many aftermarket parts, I couldn't turn it down :D
 
$500. I got what I paid for too. Car had been wrecked(only found this out when I went to change the actual bumper[not the cover] and found it bent in slightly), the bottom end had crankwalked(on a 6-Bolt...Automatic. I seriously thought that was absolutely impossible, but I guess not.) the head was screwed, and it had the wrong year bumpers, and he installed a 1.8l eclipse hatch(meaning no rear wiper, or the right spoiler on it.) and the tranny was missing OD, and the body looked like absolute crap.


Fast forward a couple of years...and the car still looks like crap, but at least runs halfway decent. When I get the money, or have had this job long enough, I'm going to take out a loan and drop in a brand new block + head, Holset HX35, and DSMLink.

That's the dream anyway..
 
$500 with a blown 7bolt and the tranny was in three different boxes! But the car had a eprom, and no rust.
