Yea get the Camaro.

blah_ha · 07-24-2009, 05:42 PM

well how much could i get out of the prelude?

Kronn 98SH · 07-24-2009, 05:49 PM

92 automatic in average condition? 2k if you're lucky.

blah_ha · 07-24-2009, 06:02 PM

its not average it has 194k miles and needs a sunroof and a new engine so its a rolling chassis

Kronn 98SH · 07-24-2009, 06:53 PM

ok. $200.

Given the choice between the beat to death prelude vs. running '79 camaro...camaro gets it. Why are you limited to those 2 options? Neither one is all that appealing. Will it be your daily driver?

blah_ha · 07-24-2009, 09:38 PM

yeah it will be daily driver but i just found a 93 rx7 twin turbo everything stock for 3500 it has 75k miles and runs great

darkbluelude · 07-24-2009, 10:29 PM

93 rx-7 TT with 75K miles for $3,500?? where are you finding these cars?? That would easily sell for $15,000 in chicago.

thats the link to the rx7

darkstar67 · 07-24-2009, 10:52 PM

The guy with the rx-7tt is a dumbass. I live close to nashville and ive never seen a rx7tt, people down here would **** a brick to see one for 3500.

blah_ha · 07-24-2009, 10:57 PM

so try to follow up on the 93 rx7 instead of the 79 camaro?

darkbluelude · 07-24-2009, 11:22 PM

haha, sure.

I knew it had to be an AD off a craigslist type website. You'll find all sorts of scams for cars there. They keep getting better and better. Have you actually talked to the seller of the Rx7 on the phone and do you live within driving distance to actually see the car in person and buy it face to face?

blah_ha · 07-24-2009, 11:30 PM

we both live in jacksonville and i will see the car before buying it also take it to a shop and get it tested. i have emailed him my number so i can set up a date and time to see the car.

spin_r_g · 07-24-2009, 11:34 PM

There's no way that rx7 is $3500. Those things go for 10k plus. That's either a scam or something is seriously wrong with that car. That or the seller is an idiot.

1992 to 2010 Mazda RX-7 Cars for Sale in Jacksonville FL
this is where i found the car

darkstar67 · 07-24-2009, 11:47 PM

Yeah, full coverage Insurance on that beast would be 3500 a year in florida lol.

blah_ha · 07-24-2009, 11:50 PM
