LOL this is like when people talk about spending 10k to wrap a car and wrap it flat black. Who gives a fuck about 1/1 other grey.

whitev70r 08-29-2023 11:02 AM

Damn straight .. put this up against any car in the $160K range :lol

transparency: affiliated. this is a buddy of mine (and westopher)

this is a very well maintained 996.1. The right stuff has been done. It's a really nice body combo w the aerokit bumper and skirts - but a ducktail.

he's playing around w the pricing but to cut through the BS he wants 39k CAD or best offer.

The car is here in Vancouver.

Can someone explain the taking offers thing to me? In case someone bumps their head on it and offers 5kg of gold?

Does that actually work? The internet is full of nothing but low-balls, seems like a great way to get a fuck ton of messages and no results.

The Producer 08-29-2023 11:14 AM

it's dumb and i don't agree w the terminology he's using to sell this car. Like I say - it's 39k CAD OBO.

He's really hoping for a US buyer I think - 29k USD

This looks like something GS8 would be interested in:

1976 Jeep 1976 amc hornet sportabout station wagon - $7,500

Rare 1976 AMC Hornet Sportabout Station Wagon 2 wheel drive
If you have always wanted to be “Trendy” now is your one chance
This is a very nice model with the exterior chrome (rare)
There are just 118,400 km on its original engine, and that's barely broken in for the legendary 258-cubic-inch (4.2 Liter) inline-six,
It's an engine with a long proven reputation for durability and power that AMC used for decades in their Jeeps.
The car is in good condition overall with a only a few minor cosmetic repairs to make it perfect or for Collector Plates
This car has to be seen If you are an AMC fan.
With its low milage and simplicity this car will be around for a long time still.
Engine runs great New fuel pump and filter , new ignition module , rebuilt carb , transmission works great ,brakes work great .
Not currently insured but arrangements can be made for serious buyers
I purchased this car from the original 85 year old lady owner many years ago. Drive it away

Either he is serious about selling the car, and will sell to the highest bid within time frame X

Or he has an idea in his mind, realistic or not, and is waiting for someone to offer that amount

Or lastly, the inbred people that are "feeling" the market and not sure, kind of like LGBTQ people, even they don't know what they want

Traum 08-29-2023 05:30 PM

Oh man~!!! If I could only pull the trigger on this!

A good friend had a del Sol VTEC that looked basically identical to this -- red, wings, wheels, and all, and we were both young and stupid enough to have him teach me driving stick in this -- the clutch's bite point was totally not newbie friendly, but we did a LOT of shenanigans in it together.

I need an extra garage spot to park the car, and I have no aptitude in fixing cars. So I don't see how this can happen. But I basically feel like I am kissing my 18 yrs old memories goodbye to just watch this one go away... :tears:

I remember test driving one of those VTEC del sols not super fast and lacks torque of the b18. And it was floppy back then with the top up. Not sure if it's worth the premium over a b18 Integra or swapped ek. Unless you really want that leaky top and only 2 seats.

No one cares my guy.

Completely misses the point, again.

The del Sol had a pile of wet noodles for its chassis, the top gets leaky once it ages a bit, and the B16 is slower and less torquey than the B18, but I also feel like the B16 was the more responsive engine. And the feeling you get from either just lowering the rear window, or pulling off the top altogether...

It's a totally different feeling, man...

p.s. Oh and the gigantic B pillar blind spot was "fun"... not LOL~

donk. 08-29-2023 08:21 PM

The delslow may not be JDMdreams cup of tea, or many others, but me n Traum seem to have the same epic memories of the car.

Spoiler!


I feel like this forum is missing a past time "car review" thread.

red kryptonite 08-29-2023 08:40 PM

wow, blast from the past.... havent been on honda tech in ages

tofu1413 08-29-2023 09:30 PM

Having a GSR swapped 1.6EL right now…

B16A / B18C5 is hell of a lot more responsive. Probably because of the intake runner and more aggressive cam profiles from factory…

whitev70r 08-29-2023 09:59 PM

Spectrum !! 2018, $44K, Viper Green, manual, ... Cowichan area. Yah super high mileage.

Send out the Troll signal!

EDIT: Jesus those are high KMs. 2018 so dude drives like 30k km a year.

trollface 08-30-2023 05:47 AM

Guy has untreated head injuries.

68style 08-30-2023 07:30 AM

Agreed, that was the price the turquoise one was trying to sell for with like 1/3rd the mileage.

donk. 08-30-2023 08:34 AM

But it's 1/1 color so it's worth 2x........... 4x if on the inbred BAT comment section

The Producer 08-30-2023 08:40 AM

the one trolly should have bought only had 24k kms on it (asking 43k) 15% of the mileage of this viper green car.

but he thought the market would come to him

still can't/won't accept that Spektrums are not the same.

44k is pretty bold, but this one will go for 40+. it's the only Spektrum for sale in north america as of this moment, has some nice mods, and the car is well known in the community.

just go flog around a rebuilt car. save a bunch of cash

trollface 08-30-2023 08:59 AM

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

I said I have no interest in cars that look like highlighters or a Tiffany handbag. It doesn't matter to me if it's 44k or 39k, I don't want it.

I've said like 4-6 times the purple one was a great deal.

westopher 08-30-2023 09:30 AM

Drop it to 9k, take off half the milage and add a warranty and trollface is there.

Only thing I miss about the Del Slow was the powered roll down rear window. That was awesome. Everything else about the car was meh......

my comments pertain to your constant disparagement of sellers that are pricing their cars at the market level for them. you've been wrong for a year about what these cars trade for, and how they have (not) depreciated. What's he supposed to do? post it for 10k less and watch it get flipped?

i think you've been waiting all year to dunk on somebody - but actually you missed easy layups this whole time. you could have driven a Mk7.5 R for free for the past 2 years if you weren't hung up on what you think the market should be doing.
