She thinks with insurance it would be 1500 bucks a month. So half the insurance would be like $150... Wants $1350/month to SHARE a lease. I bet you can lease the thing yourself for ~$1500 a month easily...

If she did get a car she can’t afford, someone should email her and tell her about Turo

I priced a 2021 model out and look like she has just the standard options so I went with that and the website defaulted to a 3 year lease. I choose $0 down and tax included and the monthly payment is just under $1500/month LOL

2002 IS300 with:
1) body/paint issues
2) transmission issues
3) bent rear subframe
4) missing interior trim (trunk)
5) heated seat that doesn't work
etc etc

Still wants $10,000 for it, and "fairly firm on price".

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rch...260138849.html

Is this the current price for a manual IS300???

You're forgetting the insane manual tax on these cars.

He's not going to get $10k... but $4-5k I wouldn't be surprised. I have a minty one and tuned down $12k USD offers (cuz I like the car) which is, in my opinion, way way more than it should be worth... but they seem to sell for more than twice what an automatic does.

I like how he doesn't even try to hide the fact he's flipping it, admitted he's only driven it 1 day lol

I know there's a "manual/nostalgic tax" on the first gen IS, but 10g's for a 300,000km clapped out example is just insane (if it sold).

I have one myself as well, that's why once in a while I check the market. I've never been offered that kind of money for mine, but I wouldn't sell mine for 12K USD either.

Yah I know, that's why I said $4-5k is probably not crazy... but $2k is too low, heck I would buy it for $2k without a second thought

I actually put mine up for sale in the USA for awhile hence the offers... but it is a Sport Design + manual + LSD so it's a bit of a unicorn

Not my car and not my taste, but that brake kit alone is $5,000 USD! There's at least $25,000+cdn of parts on that thing.

25k for brakes, seats and a body kit? Ouch. It looks like they're normally around 30k for a stock one so if he's expecting to lose only 5k on the mods that seems unlikely.

^ I see more like $40k for other V8 ones?

There’s full suspension and wheels and exhaust too... I don’t know that people should expect to get their mods back but I wouldn’t put this car in the fail thread.

I agree that Mustang is a Craigslist fail, $50K for a base Mustang with some mods. While some of the mods are good choices, this person has overspent on modding their car and is trying to recoup their money.

If I were in the market for an S550 Mustang (not that I need another one) I could get a GT350 for the same money that he is asking:

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...249344398.html

Buy a GT350 for the same $ as he's asking you get the 5.2L flat plane crank Voodoo engine, a way nicer interior and a car that will hold value better than a modded base S550.

I may be missing details of add on packages and stuff (I'm limited to mobile atm) but searching CL for Mustang GTs has a bunch for 29-36k at dealers, I'd expect to see the low end of that or less for a private sale.

That being said, don’t buy a ‘16. At least go 17+ since they come factory with track pack/oil coolers etc. There’s a reason why for the last year every gt350 on CL has been 2016

one of my dream college cars when i was in high school lol

pretty disappointed when i tried it though..how can a car smaller than a corolla weigh as much as a m3 but with a 120hp deficit

in retrospect the kinda awful fuel economy is probably worth it for the yamaha tuned motor, and i'm still envious of the chrono cluster

I've got a couple of them... auto and manual... when you have stuff apart you realize why, even taking the door handles apart is a chore. Everything is doubled up, screws, fasteners, crash beams... it's the same size as a Corolla but with thicker metal and sound deadening and redundancy everywhere. Super well built cars.

I wouldn't say the manual is great stock either, for some reason they didn't use the transmission from the NA Supra and went with a truck based one with a massively heavy flywheel, it took a lot of massaging and creativity to get it to a point where it feels useable and even then you gotta wait for it to warm up as it can feel super notchy otherwise. That said, I do wish the automatic was a manual more often than I wish the manual was an automatic lol
