[MisterMiniS]

I am looking for a cheap car I can buy real quick to race, then sell.

Haha, I like that thought process!

Not to mention that rally absolutely ruins the inside of your car.

So to all you Sallys whining about your cars: here is what I am doing, I am buying a cheap CL car for sub-$500, I will rally it, then sell it and break even.

[Roland H]

hokay.

Speaking as someone who has done this many times, it can certainly be done (I made $1000 on a $500 Merc Mountaineer once). The trick is to snap up a ridiculous deal within an hour of it being listed on CL, then take your time when you sell it to get the maximum amount possible for it.

[Bimmerman325i]

I might.

I am looking to buy this car for the rally, he is asking $800.

Yeah, except they run GTIs and stuff, with like 50 more hp stock...

This one will be fun, I just want to be able to re-sell it afterwards.

85hp is plenty! Just shed the doors (~50 lbs per), hatch (60 lbs), bumpers and bracing (100 lbs), hood (30 lbs), and all the seats but the driver (60 lbs) and you'll be down to ~1500 lbs. Doesn't take much to sling that around.
