I sure hope you're out of town whenver I sell one of my cars

paa502

Classic.

And likewise.

Quadcammer

not quite sure what the problem is, he admits himself that the car was in a minor accident. body paintwork tends to lower the price. Based on what I've seen, the price is fair, if maybe a thousand low. I simply don't see $28k for the car.

goofballdeluxe

Nope, you see oil leaks and body repair. And he's asking $23,500, not $28K, FYI.

I'm sure the seller must be happy to have had you chime in here

Quadcammer

Well, do you think the typical buyer won't see the leak or body repair? Its not like a quick search on rennlist wouldn't turn this up anyway. Not to mention the OP has freely admitted to it anyway, so its not like some secret.

I know what he's asking, but others said the price could be low by as much as $5k, which I don't think is accurate.

I don't think the OP will care as he has posted his entire ownership experience on this forum, including the leak, the body damages, etc.

Your contribution to this thread is just wrong!

Well in quadcammers defense I'm not trying to hide anytthing so it doesn't really bother me But are you actually interested in the car Mr. Quadcammer or are you here just to bust my *****.

goofballdeluxe

No, Quad is just here to bust your *****. He's the resident board curmudgeon

So Moffman, why the sale of such a pretty car? And what will you replace it with?

Moffman

As I've said before, insanity but no really I just want something to tinker on and toss around. I'm thinking maybe a TR6 or a spitfire (I love how much room you have to work on the car with the hood up) at the moment. I certainly will miss this car. You'll be happy to know the car is about to get a PPI.

there is plenty of room in the engine bay on a 964, once you take half of it apart and out

And you've owned either a TR6 or Spitfire before? If not, go search "clutch job"........................... I could see moving back to an older German (even Japanese or American) "tinkerable" car. But British? It's been nearly 30 years and I've still broken out into a sweat with bad memories of what was brought into the shop I worked at back then.

Is this car still available? If so please call me at 303-886-1075.

Thanks,

Gotta go with Ken on the Triumph advice. I have owned a Spitfire, TR6 and GT6. Fun cars to drive when sorted, but the electrical systems will drive you to drink and the handling will leave you wanting compared to a Porsche.

I traded my last TR6 for a 1968 912 and have been very pleasently surprised with the car. Early 911 SWB looks, pretty nimble even on skinny tires and easy to work on. Might be worth a look.

Good luck with your search and let us know what you decide on.


P.S. Whatever you do, don't change that avatar.

The worst car I ever owned was a '74 Spitfire (purchased new). Multiple clutch/throwout bearing failures, multiple rear suspension u-joint failures, electrical fire under the dash, and in need of a valve job after four trouble-plagued years of ownership. My happiest day of Spitfire ownership was the day I traded it in on a 280Z.
