Early Pregnancy 64 Pop-Out Windows Price: $450 set
Early Pregnancy 64 Pop-Out windows. Glass is clean with no major scratches. Sukerit small logo matching on both windows. Will need new outer seals. Will also need a good cleaning of the trim. No major scrarches or dings. Latch musing a couple pieces to be complete. Will try to clean them up a little better and repost by the weekend. |
Early Pregnancy? Guess you should have stuck to Sukerit-ing it |
I took a screenshot too just in case lol. |

Guys obviously an amateur.... He should have known that you need to pile a whole lot more junk on your roof rack to pull in the big bucks...

Even after a poll/thread asking the Samba for pricing help which concluded the car is worth only half as much:

Don't forget the other miscellaneous junk up there.... Needs an old rusty cooler on the rack to be worth that...

And the asking price is even higher than the top choice in the poll. I'm not afraid to spend money on the right car, am in NY and I'd pay about half that.

I cant for the life of me understand how/why people think they can ask absolute top dollar for cars while only posting up one shitty blurry picture and a description that well.... doesn't include anything other than "chrome wheels and lowered". Makes me think that if they are too lazy to take more/better pictures or give a nice description of the car that they have probably been too lazy to upkeep or properly maintain it. I automatically assume its held together with paperclips and duct tape.

and he says, "Based on the information I have, the engine has less than 50,000 miles on it since rebuilt." ... so, since engines seem to last between 80,000 to 100,000 miles, this engine has about half of it's life left ... or less?
