I drove by a shop in Richmond that had 5+ CRX’ lying around...these cars are worth saving and restoring.

I was going to post this in the Good Buys thread till I saw one line:

Quote:

It doesn't have a timing belt It has a timing chain( double chained timing chain which will never fail, last a lifetime)
Newsflash: The car has a timing BELT. Does this mean the car never had its belt changed in 28 years?

If you're going to sell something, at least know what it has especially if it relates to driveability

:derp:

EDIT: Maybe speaking with the owner can add clarity and make the car a good buy I don't know

trollface 05-15-2021 09:37 PM

Can you actually get parts for that thing?

Yes. The only thing that was an issue were shocks but with all the JDM models in North America now, you can use parts from Cedrics / Glorias.

I'm glad mine is a base model and, therefore, does not have 4WS. Those parts are unob.

I would hard pass just based on the H2 Hummer in the background :fullofwin:

J30 owner also says, "I dont really know what else to say this car in beyond Perfect and will only increase in value"

The car has to be desirable to be able to say something like this.

yes, prices are been super high on Eblock last couple months.

I've been getting more on Eblock than selling retail.

68style 05-18-2021 01:00 AM

I have no idea what's going on here... lol... posting it in fails cuz I think it might not be real and the ad is bizarre... but if it's real, its actually a good buy???

320icar 05-18-2021 08:08 AM

Holy fuck that might be real

bcrdukes 05-18-2021 08:33 AM

Those pics look like 1999 Vanocuer...Look at her other listings, it makes no sense. Is this some kind of weird code for escort service or drugs lol?

What does this mean: "@[110270041150213:274:Luxe Paws]"

underscore 05-18-2021 09:52 AM

That does look like a BC temp in the front window, but the pictures look ancient and they're all different sizes which is weird.

Also lol at "-and pls do not msg me to harass me am a published model"

If you dig further down, it says, "-and pls do not msg me to harass me am a published model, I am married
But do not post about that hence why it says I am single on here...I have now had a few guys from this group make rude remarks to me and I find that wrong- "

Even better - Take a look at the photos on this website and see if they are the same ones from the ad: https://rs200.com/110.htm

@trollface - you were off by a year if you read the link I posted carefully lol

bcedhk 05-18-2021 10:29 AM

according to that site, the car was owned by Murray H. de Weerdt. A quick google shows an obituary for an individual with the same name in 2015.

Sugar daddy will gift?

GIZZ 05-18-2021 10:46 AM

Anybody contact her? Why didn't she take new pics? Just for that reason I'd think its a scam.

You need to consign something like that at a place like August Motorcars.

trollface 05-18-2021 10:47 AM

Looks super sus.

Someone message her and see what the scam is.

trollface 05-19-2021 10:36 PM

Friend messaged the RS 200.

Can't show the car because husband got into a car accident. Keep saying she's a published modle so it's legit and sends her IG with a only fans link.

I think the scam is baiting dudes with rare car ad. Mentions she's a modle for no reason. Guys go googling her name, finds her only fans. Guys end up signing up and pulling their worms.

Profit.

snowfarmer 05-20-2021 10:15 AM

didn't get an RS200 out of the deal but it was a happy ending nonetheless! :fappery:

Gotta love it when a guy is selling a car and uses pictures of a computer screen showing the for sale ad he probably bought the car from only 1,000kms before and with a price $1,000 or $1,500 less???
