I wouldn't trust Craigslist. I'm pretty sure if somebody went to go buy that car, it could turn out like this one horror story video I watched on YouTube that had one involving a Toyota Camry on Craigslist. Plot twist, there was no Camry. Best case scenario, the car is real, but it's probably a lemon. I ain't the only one who likes the 2017 Alpine A110 am I?
And what would be the alternative to craigslist when buying a used car, the trusty used car salesman? Craigslist is fine, just be smart about it and you most likely won't get scammed.
I've actually bought all of my cars on Craigslist minus the Infiniti. The Infiniti was just a stroke of luck an hour from home.
By the way, do you have any other site for buying/selling cars in US? Craigslist seems to be a mess. Not only there are horror stories about scams, but it is difficult to find a certain car model there. I've seen a couple of others, but they had a limited choice of cars and they were so expensive.
Craigslist, Ebay, Facebook Groups, Pennswoods (at least for PA)... there are a few... just not many (that I know of... if anyone knows of more... tell me... I will use it)
I second this. Once drove 4 hours up to Michigan for a supposedly perfect 1985 convertible FoxBody GT Mustang, and the thing was a basket case when I got there. Needless to say, I borderline wanted to stab the guy, who blatantly lied about how the interior "looked like it had never been sat in" when there were drywall screws holding the door panels on and the once blue carpet was actually brown.
This. There are horror stories about all classified sales, be it ebay, craigslist or just the newspaper. Best way to avoid it is to not be dumb if it doesn't look like described then walk away.
I think you could on special order, but that wouldn't be cheap considering if that's a "current built" Century, and they never really sold outside of Japan as "new". But, there's also a black one that was roaming around New York a while back. Rumors say it's a diplomat/embassy car, but I'm not too sure.
That's probably a pretty good explanation for the existence of most, if not all of the left hand drive ones. Made to order for Japanese diplomats and such working overseas. --- Post updated --- https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks...co/1330032275?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true It boggles my mind how incapable some people are at taking photos for classified ads. Seriously, hold the camera straight, take more than just a couple front 3/4 shots, and get your damn Skyline out of the way. I have literally zero interest in a lifted truck but after seeing the image below as the thumbnail of an ad for a Bronco, I had to rant about it. There is literally a fence and another car obscuring the one for sale.
Yes it is a specially ordered car. If my memory serves me right, Toyota Dealership in Saudi Arabia had a some for sale each year and only offered to certain people, don't know if they still do this today. Used ones can be found hidden in used cars lot or in a collection and their prices are approximately from 40-70K USD in (Don't know their values over here) I'll try to go back to the car to take some interior shots of the car.
So i'm a junior in high school, and looking to get a job to buy a car. I was thinking of buying a 1968 Volvo 122 Coupe off of my grandfather for 1000 USD. Any ideas? should i go for it? It's a nice little car. It's got a big trunk and everything. The only problems it has are some rust (surprisingly little for the age of the car, and the fact i live in New York state), an exhaust leak (doesn't matter, as any car older than 1995 doesn't need a catalytic converter, so emissions aren't a problem), and we had to saw the gas cap off because we lost the key. I'm obviously going to fix the gas tank if i buy it. It's a true 4 on the floor. It also does good burnouts. really good burnouts. It lays patch for a good 20-30 feet. It also needs a new battery strap. And the door panels need to be... well... not falling apart. It runs really well, and because it's an old Volvo, it's built like a damn tank.
If you're willing to live with the fact that it's not as safe or nimble as a modern car, absolutely go for it You americans have no idea how much of a privilege it is to have access so such good cars, and have cheap ass fuel so you can actually run them too
Yeah. Although guys over in Europe have pretty sweet cars too. You guys had the first few generations of the Focus RS. But yeah, gas here is pretty cheap. Plus the fact that the Volvo i'm planning on buying is a tiny 4 cylinder will make it extremely cheap to run.
