Back on topic, I'm surprised these haven't skyrocketed in price yet.
Plus this one has 550hp with upgraded turbos, etc. It should be a fun car to drive. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...763693064.html Quote:

That yellow Lotus Esprit should win an award for length of time posted on CL. That thing has been listed on CL Vancouver for literally years.

She’s like a hot girl half your age (legal) tho... you know going in she won’t love ya and will empty your wallet, but you can’t help taking a dip, just pucker your arsehole and dive in headfirst, hope it doesn’t cost you quite enough to wipe the bigass grin off your face before you pass it on to some other chump looking for a bag of troubles!

Hey RS'ers,
Hoping RS Detective Club could help me out. Would anyone know this car? https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...757598630.html
A friend of mine in Seattle is interested, but the owner is asking for him to wire him $20K without seeing the car. A bit weird, but hoping someone could shed some light on this car if anyone knows it. Thanks in advance.

Sent you a message. I know a lot about the car. The owner has spent a TON on it. Lots of maintenance done.

why would the seller not let your friend see the car 1st? I really don't know, but I wouldn't wired money to someone locally if I weren't allow to see it 1st and I don't care how good of a deal it is or what car it is (even if a jaguar e type for 1k lol)

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

That way if anything is hinky you can just wire it back.

He even won't let me see the car without verifying funds first, so I don't think it's helpful that my friend wires me any money

Nice looking 350z, just needs a fender $5500 https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...770680558.html
