Default Good Deals and Interesting Cars For Sale Thread

I find myself wanting to share these "finds" every now and then. This is a thread that we can all post these to!

Here's the first one. Nothing terribly special. Just a good deal waiting to happen. Sounds like a grandchild is selling for their grandmother. This tells me the price is quite negotiable.

Won't be allowed to start it? Does that seem reasonable?

Here's one:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/2699527152.html
"1983 Porsche 944 - $500 (aptos)"

"Bronze/Gold in color. Very good Galvanized body has no rust. Good Transmission. Engine runs strong but needs a balance belt.Timing Belt is fine. Windshield intact but cracked.Old tires. Gonna need a radiator but the one in it doesn't leak. Non working speedo says 89K. Needs electrical attention. Bad interior. Starter stopped working but pretty sure it is just a weathered connection. The car will push start very easily. Bring a battery and drive it on to your trailer. I bought this car for $800. 5 years ago. When I got it, I paid Fastlane Auto $1100. to get it running, then bought another 944 soon after. The car has sat awhile, but I started it to move it 2 weeks ago. This car pretty rough. Would make a good racecar or buy it for parts. 1st $500. takes it."

i know where you are coming from, its a toss up depending on what wing is on it. the one in that pic is pretty close to looking right. i am planning on doing the 924 GTS fenders front and back but keep my fiber glass bumper and going with a old turbo valance top and bottom i think the hatch would look good with that set up and make the car look less like i am missing the scoop and front bumper to the GTS kit. although no one in my area would even know what the car should look like or what a GTS is.....lol

Keep wondering why this car hasn't sold yet. I've been watching it on craigslist a few months now... 1991 S2 Cabriolet. 41k original miles. Rare cobalt blue color... BBS rims... $9000.

It's a nice car. Kevin(the owner) is on RL but I don't see him post much. I'm surprised it hasn't sold as well. I'm thinking it has something to do with the side panels. They just don't do it for me.

Here's another. Isn't getting fuel so it could be something simple. Looks nice otherwise...
