is this guy serious?

[Koozer]

95 Ecipse GSX (obo)

is this guy on crack or am I the one on drugs?

Ive been searching for about 4 months now for a "project"... specifically looking for a white gsx... this one seems to be recipe for what im looking for but is this guy seriously asking 7 grand... i see fully built ones go for that

 

[AllShallPerish]

He is high...

 

[1gdsmftw]

pass it up...

 

[thomcasey]

Guess he paid way too much for it and is trying to get his money back. Maybe if he goes down to about $3000, he might have a shot

 

[Calan]

Ehhh... let's see.

1) When you start to drive it for awhile, when going into 3rd gear it will grind.

2) At high speeds around 70 the car will sometimes shift side to side, iv been told it might be a axle

3) He just invested in new suspension components 4 weeks ago, and now he's trying to unload the car.

Yep...crack seems reasonable.

Gotta love people who think their stuff is worth more then it really is

[concept4g63]

I wonder what hes actually thinking. Tsk tsk tsk

 

[Calan]

Gotta give the guy props now. He knew better than to price it the same here as he did on Craigslist.

I'd give him 2500 cash for it if it had no rust. Because I am going to have to yank that transmission out and send it to shep. Probably will need a new t-case as well.

 

[Calan]

MAYBE $2500 if I was in a good mood and feeling generous. Those issues and 200k miles is a tough sell. Given the ad wording, you can almost bet that the t-belt and other stuff needs to be done also.

If he fixed the 3rd gear problem (could be something as simple as a shifter adjustment, but doubtful) and whatever is up with the suspension, he'd have a lot more luck getting at least 3500 or maybe 4K out of it, if the right buyer comes along. Of course he may get $7k out of it...apparently the previous owner was able to dump it.

 

[EclipticalGS]

hes the guy thats buying a new evo, hes going to need that 7000...

True...but I wouldn't be leaving that -one-piece bearing motor in there. My 98 block from my GST would go in.

Everyone thinks their crap is worth too much. I found a clean shell somewhere near me, no engine or transmission. I offered $1,000.00 for it without the wheels. He said the lowest he would go is $1,500.00 without the wheels. I said if it is as clean as he said it is, I will buy, have cash-in-hand. Then he had 3 other interested parties overnight. Even though he had none for months.

whobbling eh? i bet its the ball joint XD

 

[91stocker]

Everyone thinks their shit is made of gold. The worst is used parts on the classified. Used parts going for near new prices. Yea like i wouldn't just spend the extra $10 and get a brand new part with possible warranty and customer service.

Theres a guy near me with a very base model 1g with 170k on it. He wont budge off 2700. He laughed when i offered him 1k which was pretty reasonable. Not kidding either he says "dude, its an eclipse". WTF

[2GbTalonGuy]

seems shady to me.

 

[throwedgsx]

I would look that guy square in the eye and tell him here's a thousand bucks

 

[rommel rojasgsx]

wonder if he will find somone on a stronger drug to dump it to. or read this and cut price more than half of what is now

 

[dsm03]

Wobbling side - side... Could be rear spindle knuckle..

"98%" rust free! Ha Ha how does he come up with that percentage...


Either way.. thats a douche bag price!

You have to calculate the total amount of iron-based alloys in the car, compare current weight to factory weight, consider the material loss due to oxidation, etc.

It's all very complicated and technical; you just need to trust him.

This MOFO is crazy asking $5,500 for that no doubt.

Thats what I figured.. !!

@ 200,000 body miles his car sways side to side because he probably doent have the Rear upper Bushings anymore which are either gone or completely coroded. There somewhat hard to find but I know 2 vendors that sell em'.
