^ yeah that's the plan. There's an absolutely beautiful laguna blue AP2 in Victoria with <30k km, but it is slightly out of my budget.

I plan on keeping it for 3-5 years, although I did say that for the Miata I just sold (after owning it for 1 year).

Great buy for a skyline!
1996 skyline R33

Spoiler!

Rather pick up a s2k in the states, save a couple thousand..

I've taken a look at the nearby states, and a low mileage one costs the same, if not more than here after you factor in the duties, exchange rate, and import fees/etc. There's a lot more for sale though.

That dealership price is a joke.

1961 Valiant Baby Blue Fucking Pimp!!!!!!!!
$7500 boo

1961 Valiant

unbelievable. Perfect summer ride and by all accounts the car is built right. Looks mint

Damn thats cheap for a rebuilt car

1986 Chevy C-10 reg cab. long box 2wd- only 205,600kms

Not a bad deal. I'd bet he'd drop the price a bit, too. Drive out with a carb to change out the one on the truck and drive it home.

This was great in the description
1996 Acura Integra RS

1996 Acura Intergra RS
Drivetrain: Front Wheel Drive
Interior Color: Tan
Transmission: 5 Speed Manual

280,000 kms
Aircared until May 18, 2015

If you like to drive fast this car's for you. Extremely reliable and handles like a dream. Every 16 year old in the neighbourhood wants to buy it but sadly none of them have jobs and can afford it.
My 18 year kid has bumps, bruises and broken bones and he doesn't haul around a family on his back so if you're looking for something perfect you should not be looking at an 18 year old car.
It no longer has a stereo because some thieving low life stole it. Think of it as a clean slate that you can customize to your own taste.
The only reason I'm selling it is to save my poor children from a concussion every time I go over a speed bump. This little sports car just wasn't built to shove 6 foot plus tall teenagers into the back seat without serious bodily harm.
Let's be honest this beauty is a Surrey girl after all and she has addiction issues. Her drug of choice is 10W30. She'll need a fix every month or so. She doesn't have withdrawl symptom like the shakes or anything. There's no drips leaks or puddles. She just consumes it. She is mechanically sound.
Don't expect her to start and go for you like some twinkie you bought drinks for at the bar either. She's a sophisticated lady who needs time to warm up to you before she puts out.
It only has insurance on it for the next week so if you want to test drive it you better get off the computer and hustle on over.
ICBC book price is $3900.00 so it's a good deal at the price I'm offering. I'm not here to blow smoke up your ass but I am serious on my price and I expect that those who are making inquiries are just as serious.
She's all cleaned and detailed inside. I figured it's better to smell like cleaning products then the rotting sports equipment and smelly teenagers we transport around.

If yes, I'm told there are issues with it. Another Miata.net member looked at it and said it was trouble.

2008 honda S2000 64500Km

I went to view it in person a few weeks ago, car looks to be in excellent shape, however 1 thing threw me off. It is missing the VIN stickers on the underside of the hood and on the front driver's side fender. I also noticed in the pictures I took that the driver's side fender is slightly mismatched in colour.

The suspicious part about all this is that the 3 insurance claims/repairs do not pertain to the hood or the driver's side front. Carproof states "Right Front Corner" and the other 2 are rear. Is it even worth it to bring it to a shop for a PPI or should I just skip this one?

I would not touch that one unless you are able to get a smashing deal. It has been posted many years in a row and did not sell. I believe the previous owner was moving and was advertising it for ~$23-24k.

Not that I remember. It was completely bone stock with 2 minor scratches/dings, 1 on the front bumper and 1 on the rear.

Nope. Cops drive past me all the time, never had a problem. I even live next door to a undercover K9 unit officer...he approached me after I got it all done and said "good job kid, car looks great"
