for 5 months, I suppose

you never know what kind of stories sellers use to sell a car.

I'm just sayin'

16,500$ is a pretty good deal for the sti

You can verify where a car has been registered through car proof/car fax. If you have that kind of mentality why ever buy a car at all.

Not exactly a "good buy", but definitely a rare car

1997 Volvo 850 R - rare 5 speed manual

thats a unicorn right there!

Always wanted one of these CROWN VICTORIA 2008
since its police owned I'm pretty sure they're well maintained since its for the safety of the officers

It's funny, it wasn't just 4 years ago in Ottawa, a friend of mine had a red 5 speed 850R wagon. Blew the head gasket, had it repaired and sold it for $3000. Mind you it had 300,000km. I still think it was a steal.

Something's weird about that. They dump the cars after 165,000kms as a general rule. To me that says something had to of been majorly wrong to dump it at 120,000kms.

165,000kms or 10 years for non-operational (this one)... 7 years for operational... the regular patrol cars hit that in less than 2 years time... this car was definitely an admin vehicle of some sort as it indicates.

Something was wrong with this one that wasn't worth fixing or else they wouldn't have auctioned it off. That said, it must be fixed now.

Just saw one of these in person at the bryne meet, its a great looking car

If Bellingham counts as local, I found a '93 Dodge Omni GLH (goes like hell)

!!!RARE 1985 dodge omni GLH TURBO!!!

Good price for low kms and clean title.

1997 BMW 328i 4 door, 5 sp manual, sunroof,Air Care
hmmm looks too good to be true. any thoughts?:suspicious:

^ looks like a "fair" buy to me...GO FOR IT!

^^seller was Craigslist scum..I made every effort to arrange a viewing ASAP (saw the ad minutes within posting) and he said earliest available time was this afternoon. Made sure he knew I was genuinely interested and I text him at the tick of noon to find out its sold.

Edit: to make it clear, I was annoyed at the fact that we had agreed to meet and it was pretty much a done deal. I did ask him if there was anyone else interested or any showings prior, which is why I was under the impression I would be the first to see it before earlier today.

Then again, maybe someone offered him 3k over the phone and he couldn't refuse. All in the past now..lets keep hunting.

Maybe you weren't the first person to contact him.

Good deals get snatched up quick. You gotta be willing to go at a moment's notice.

first come first serve. can't blame the seller

so he's scum cause he didn't back out of his scheduled showings to sell to you.... sounds reasonable........

Here is an 800 dollar Cressida in case anyone needs a beater.
