Sounds too good to be true. Would be Hella fun to own one though!!!

You have a 50/50 chance. It could be a nice car or it could be a piece of crap. Just my .02

Dr_Kyle · 02-24-2004, 04:52 PM

Looks like it was a kids car... probably been run pretty hard (I know I would've if it were mine

)

How much do you think it would cost to get it shipped to CA from Long Island?

close to $1500

the interior on that car looks disusting

LukeD · 02-24-2004, 05:09 PM

I agree I dont think they put much effort into cleaning the interior to take pics. At least take out that ugly NOS floor mat, its got mud all over it.

I live very close to Long Island and I'm going to visit my sister in California pretty soon. I bet we could cut a lil deal if I personally deliver it to you

cavingman · 02-24-2004, 05:13 PM

floor mats are what brought the price down

Awesome!

I'm still not sure if I want to bid on it though. And even if I do bid on it I'm not sure if I'll actually win. I guess we'll find out in a couple days though.

LukeD · 02-24-2004, 07:32 PM

If someone actually lives in Long Island I'd paypal them $20 to go testdrive/ inspect the car. It would have to be in the next day or 2 though but if you can, don't just go do it. Tell me first so I can arrange with the owner. Thanks.

Dude theres still 3 days left on that auction. A lot can happen in 3 days. I'm sure it will be up to at least 6-7 G's at the end of auction. The majority of experienced Ebays will bid on the Auction at the last 10 to 5 seconds.

He's right. I watched a digital camera go from $351 to $440 in the last 10 minutes. A lot of people are geeks and have enough time on their hands to keep refreshing the page during the final moments of an auction.

02PONtiac! · 02-24-2004, 08:25 PM

Hell ya RAZE I noticed that to. Thats how I bid on stuff now. Why raise the price early on in teh auction. I guess that makes me a geek then? Hey wait a minute you just called me Geek. Why I outta.....!!!

I'm talking about people bidding on the final moments of multiple auctions. I don't bid early either. Make people think nobody is interested and then bid at the last minute hoping that the other people aren't around to have a bidding war against you. I never win though.

lucky13rme · 02-24-2004, 09:14 PM

Or you could be like me, wait to the last minute and then completely forget to go back and bid. I've done that more than once.

But the price will probably got up quite a bit the last day or couple of hours. Of all the things I sold, that how it was for most of them.

Panacea · 02-24-2004, 09:47 PM

He put Sony audio products in the car... automatically drops the value by $7000...

LukeD · 02-24-2004, 10:47 PM

Yeah I wasn't going to bid any earlier than the last few minutes anyway. I may not even bid at all cause I'd need my parents to advance me the money till I sold the GA to pay them back and I doubt they'd give me money to buy a car on ebay (it is after all a risk) let alone entrust the car I just bought to someone I don't really know over the internet (no offence RAZE). I'm pretty trusting of established GAGT members but I couldn't see how I would explain it to my parents.

But its still not out of the question I guess.

Silver02EX · 02-25-2004, 01:12 AM

I'm surprise no one mention anything about the Japanese stickers on that car. Unless I missed it

BLEE · 02-25-2004, 02:17 AM

do you know where in long island it is? im from queens.... im in school right now (maine) but i might be able to get someone reliable to test drive it...
