My new toy

Postby rx8ghost » Mon Feb 01, 2010 9:14

So I've been entertaining the idea of possibly getting a project car as I love the 8 but it's expensive to mod sometimes and it's my DD plus I still owe money on it. Browsing through Craigslist bored one night I came across a 1999 3000GT VR4 w/ 35k miles for the unbelievable price of $3200. I thought this was sketchy so I emailed the person and it turns out it was her husband's who passed away and she just wanted to get rid of it. The whole deals going through Ebay so if it's a scam I'll be covered. It seems like this might be a once in a lifetime find. Definitely got some work done to it as you can tell the intercooler, exhaust, and rims are aftermarket and she doesn't really know much about cars. Even if this isn't as good as advertised it's still a great deal as KBB for this car in fair condition is 12k.

I'd still be wary, but that looks to be a fun car. You back in town?

Yea trust me I'll sweat until I actually see it in a week or so. Luckily she never sees the money until the car arrives and I check it out and say its good. I'm not back in town but it's being sent to the parents where I'll be on leave here in a week or so. I'll post up some pictures when the parents send them to me.

So wait....it's on Craiglist, but it's not local? Sounds fishy, but good luck.
