$6000 for a 1998 318i!?  Book on this is 3600 in EXCELLENT condition!  3400 in very good.  I mean, it looks clean, but not "nearly twice book value" clean.

Yeah, that car up here with 150,000 kms is no more than $3000.

Granted, that's in real nice condition: but still, not worth more than $20,000 on its best day.

Yeah, low miles but that means little in this case. Mis-matched paint, unoriginal top, undesirable year and colour. I wouldn't pay more than $15,000.

Someone would have to pay me $1,500 to take it.

Yeah, come to think of it, I wouldn't even bother at $5000.

Yeah, buddy... I'm going to give you $1500 for a POS Civic so I can spend another $2000 putting a transmission in it and still be stuck with a crap car that has 340,000 kms on it.  :face palm:

Just call a fucking wrecker and be grateful for the $250 they'll give you.

[Soup DeVille]

$10-15,000 is about where these are selling right now though: a great example might bring $20k. This is not as good as that though. Its also not badly thougth of as far as the year goes. '76 was the last convertible for a long time from Cadillac. It was also Boss Hogg's caddy, so there's that too.

A co-worker is looking for a beater/autox car and will periodically tell me about some of the cars he's checked out as candidates.  He found an early 90s Civic hatch with ~200K miles on it for sale.  Some body damage.  Driver's seat belt latch non-functional.  The owner had apparently dropped the ECU from a VTEC-equipped Integra into the car (which was running the non-VTEC 1.6L), and as a result the CEL was on and it didn't run right.  During the test drive, he noted a loud grinding sound which was likely one or more wheel bearings in need of replacement.  IIRC, the owner was asking $1500 for it.  Of course, around here people think that anything that can move under its own power is worth at least a grand.

Browsing the local craigslist, I found a 20 year old Del Sol with 150K miles on it with an asking price of $4500. (Blue book value for a flawless car is like $1600).

Holy shit. This dude must have been on that TV show "Hoarders". Why would anybody take pictures of a garbage dump in/on/around a car... 

[93JC]

D:

You'd think the seller would have the common sense to unbury the car from the mound of shit on top of it before taking pictures and trying to sell the thing.

$3,500 for a Toyota Crown like that probably isn't out of line but being that we've all seen how it was stored its valued has immediately plummeted. I'd offer the guy a $1500 tops if I was interested, simply because of the pictures.

[Payman]

Agreed.

Just rust-proofed = all the rust has been painted over; no rust showing = it's all under the new paint.
