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.
