Thats it!

woohoo!

time to tear out the motor and rebuild it!!!

hey can we drop a CSB in it?

Well I just bought the beretta

Wasnt planning on this expense. THis is vacation week and I got a speeding ticket

But for $200 I got it, got to pick it up tomorrow 2 hours away :)

We are fandangling E Bay a bit, I put up to $1,000 on it so I dont get outbid. But if someone wants to pay that much or more for it good for him.

Black, V6 GT all digital dash. Not all beat to hell, has some running issues but runs...

Basstronics, I reasearched those 4" Extended drivers after you posted that link and bought 15 of them for myself today. Thinkin about doin a nice budget line array for my room. I wish they still had those cheap PE tweeters available. Instead I bought one of these: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl ... er=275-035

Should be fun messin around with these little drivers. I'm thikin about pickin up a couple of different plate amps for home too in the near future. We just finished adding a new room to my house and it's mine, so i'm excited about adding some kind of audio in there asap.

yeah I was just thinking aloud. It takes me some work to get used to inflation sometimes myself.. looking at what cars cost these days and what even used cars sell for.. heck my 94 JGC even with some rust lists for about $3500.. and that's over 10 years old now. I just don't expect to get any car in good running condition for under about $400-500. I mean for a motor and trans in good shape, and a body that isn't rusted through, it's worth that regardless of the car's make. That's just current market for ya.
I realize the ricer market screws with ya too though.. people thinking they actually have a sportcar because it looks a little flashy.
that's what ya get with GM owners who have a GT type beretta, or a grand am/prix with any body moulding or a wing. they think its a TA or vette.. hahaha I guess ya just need to find someone sensible and be willing to barter a bit to reach an agreement on a fair price for a car that's been taken care of.

you'll always find a mix of the bottom feeders too.. the ones who want more than a car is worth and stick to it firmly, or try to sell you a car that might look ok at a glance, but has a lot of problems as soon as you look twice. I hate people who try to pass off a pile of crap and do it as a quick sale and run.

I understand that.

Classic cars with maintain a certain value or even appreciated depending on the car.

But a 80-early 90's beretta is neither. It is a depreciable asset just like my current car, and any newer car.

Just for hell of it I tried Kbb.com. With a guesstimated mileage of 180K(Auction said 801563?) and a condition of "fair" (Eventhough motor is dead) it gave a value of $400.

It also needs new tires, head liner is gone. Really dirty also.

Just dont know why some of these people think their POS is worth so damned much?

I guess its worth $800 if you want the car.. hell I wouldn't sell my parts car for under $500, and when I'm done it won't have a good piece of metal on it.. but the scrap alone is worth that much.

You have to remember that cars are still valuable items, and if tehy run and they're in decent shape, you won't get them for much below fair book value, and that's going to be at least $500.
Nothing is as cheap as it was five or ten years ago. You have to adjust your mind to cope with inflation more so than your wallet sometimes I guess.
Hell, I thought it was steep paying $5k for my Charger when I bought it, but looking back, that was fair since the body was totally rust free, straight, and it ran without any motor or tranny damage.. had god rims, fair interior, etc. I could find one cheaper but it'd have things to fix. I guess it's a matter of your priorities.
If you want a pile of junk, you'll find it for $200.
If you want a reliable car, spend more.

Trying to get a beretta is the tuff part.

Everyone that has one thinks they are worth lots of money?

over 5 years ago I sold my 91 V6 GT beretta with 175,000 on it for $50 less than blue book, so I got $800 out of it.

People today are trying to get $800-1,000 for 89 4Cyl. autos...lol One that has a BAD motor in it at that!

I offered $150 and they turned me down said $800 firm. Told them its not worth $800 even if it had $600 in the glove box :excited:

This sounds like alot of fun, keep us informed.... And yeah audio, I'll let you know about that show in the next couple of days....

$.50 for 1 of those pups? jesus thats cheap.
