seats and carpet will have to be removed. Once the carpet and underlay are soaked it would have to be replaced. OEM carpets will cost an arm and a leg.

So this is what one costs

These are the times where I wish I had a big barn to keep random cheap fun cars. Would be sweet to slam this thing and try drifting it... :fullofwin:

2005 Acura NSX for $89,500 in CALGARY | autoTRADER.ca

http://azr.cdnmedia.autotrader.ca/1/...pg?w=800&h=600

Bargain considering the exchange rate, if I hadn't of already bought the black on this is the car I would have picked up 100%.

cdizzle_996 01-16-2016 08:29 AM

So simple and clean

68style 01-16-2016 08:38 AM

Haha, fuck, I saved a for sale ad for that NSX from 3 years ago when it was up for $62,000.

TouringTeg 01-16-2016 11:45 AM

I like how so many people have listed their sports cars in USD that he specifically says price is in Canadian dollars.

Supposedly the targa top revision did not reduce rigidity but did increase weight due to the added aluminum to maintain said rigidity.

Targa top = 1 roof panel
T-Top = two roof panels

FYI

Anybody know Company of Cars? never heard of them. Quite a few premium cars on the "lot"

Used 2007 Porsche Cayman S For Sale | Burnaby BC

Not a great price, but I'm thinking of going to take a look anyway.

I think that's a good price given our dollar right now. The k's are alittle high but it has some very nice options on it. If it has a clean history and checks out I would go for it. I love my Cayman!

I actually swung by there today but only had a couple of minutes. Sales guys was nice, opened it up and took a look around. Said he'd be happy to let me drive it when I had more time. Car was straight, no overspray anywhere, interior was good except for some peeling of the soft touch around the window switches. I said it needed tires, he said they were going on this week.

I got the impression they would do a deal on it. I'd get my own ppi including scoping the cylinders for scoring.

1991 Toyota Corolla GTS . AE-92 . Twin Cam . Clean In/Out

is this a good buy?

MPTness 01-17-2016 10:39 AM

rare cars indeed

2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS, Rare 6-Spd Manual in Nordic Gold 62km

1985 AE86 Hatch GTS Conversion 20v 4AGE

1972 Datsun 240z

bcuzracecarz 01-17-2016 11:10 AM

That's so wicked, didn't even know they made the cayenne in manual

SpartanAir 01-17-2016 11:32 AM

^ Seems like a great deal if you wanted to get in to the AE86 scene. Lots of issues but lots of extra parts. In another life where I have time and space to work, I would be down for this.

And the manual Cayenne is awesome. Shame about the gold paint tho... :heckno:

flagella 01-17-2016 12:42 PM

But....but... It's nordic gold!

Friend bought a rebuilt status R class that was brand new.
Dealership forgot to close the sunroof one night and it rained all night.

I thought that was pretty funny.

Renthal 01-17-2016 01:39 PM
