Black Edition RMs. They sold pretty quick. Plus engine, trans, diff and all kinds of stuff. Worked out to be a pretty darn good buy ;)

bring back this thread!!
'86 Integra from a buddy of mine.. the car was free, but he wanted $500 for the stereo in it.. ran great, but the CEL was on since I bought it and never bothered to find out why so I couldn't smog it.. one day I walked out of my apartment to find an empty spot where my car was.. it was towed because of expired tags and I told the guy at the junkyard he could keep it..

Got a VW MKII Jetta for $5 ( they were gonna junk it ) ran for 2 years did a little work to it and sold for $2500 put like 1000 into it.. 250k miles.

Picked up my current 89 325is 5 speed For FREE, Friends aunt was gonna donate it and was done with it since she just dumped 2500 into it in maint and it wouldnt start..

Towed it home and found it to be a bad fusible link to the ECU in the trunk.

Runs like a champ just needs a good cleaning, Had a paint job 2 years ago but by students so its a 5 footer paint job but im aiming to clean it up..

Lady bought in 98 w/89k miles now has 120k miles has some rust but ive seen way worse cars on here.

do you still have "Slayin The Dragon"????



let's see, I bought a '68 Buick Deuce & a quarter for $150.. Thing was as big as a ocean liner, and the tranny slipped, but with a 455, it could peel one wheel for blocks. Also bought a '79 Caddy for $200 that the drivers seat had one bracket missing, so you always had a gangsta lean going (might be why my back is still fubar.) Bought a '78 Chevy Monza, with the factory 305 V-8 for $300 when I lived in Phoenix, it had zero interior, except a drivers seat and the dash cluster, but it was fast as hell! Also while in Arizona, bought a Lime Green 69 Dodge Dart for $300 with a 318, and a big ass sixpack hood (it was only a two barrel carb.)
