Yeah, that's pretty bad.
On the plus side, you know there's no lipstick on it, and the seller has done a decent job in showing the rust. And he doesn't even claim the old "ran when parked" con.
There's also a "Make Offer" option on the eBay site, so it will be interesting to see what it finally sells for.
Every time I see one of these on auction, I feel so lucky to have purchased Chloe when I did.

I'm just gonna whine about this video real quick  Is it just me, or did they replace a perfectly fine panel that could have been patched? Like when they cut it out, it looked fine from the back and front. Not knocking their work, it looks fine, just their choice of replacing the whole panel on both sides.

I just came in here to see if this had been posted. I'd love to study the minds of sellers like this. I'd love to know the "real" story and what the seller has into that thing.

Maybe to show that it can actually drive around? It would be funny if it was broken down though?

Now the price is okay... a little high IMHO, but okay. I just can't stand things like this-

$8000 obo
If you know these things you know what they go for |
If you say something like that... I fell like you are trying to justify your price... which makes me think that you think it isn't worth that. That's all.

In my experience people who say that DON'T know what things actually go for.
Usually they are crack head high but sometimes they are super low too. |
Just like he said if you know what they go for, well maybe if it's running and driving. If you want 8k get it running and driving first.

| Does every part supplier online have horrible shipping fees? I’m looking for small items that only cost a few dollars, but the shipping is sometimes triple the price. I don’t want to pay $20 for a spark plug. |
Ive got a business idea
I buy stuff at wholesale, then sell it in a store where people can come in and look at it, make sure they get what they want, and then buy it.
Shipping is free, too!

I guess it could mean he doesn’t know what it’s worth. Last on the road 6 years ago and needs throttle cable... so it needs all the lines, brakes, and cables. I still don’t like it when they say that... puts me off a bit.
