Hilarious. Those low mileage one are bringing some insane money.
 
A few years ago an old co-worker of mine bought a 99 Metro sedan, the highline model, with 30K on it. She paid something around 5 grand for it, and I kind of smirked. Looks like she could get that money back now.

That's so crazy---you'll spend hundreds just keeping that junk on the road. You gotta drive a LONG way to justify spending $7,000 on a $2,000 car.

How do I do that "completed listings" search on eBay Motors?

Do you have an Ebay ID? It's worth having just for this. Then you do a vehicle search, click the 'competed items' box and click 'show items'. That said, I can't get BR's link to work.

Strange...it works for me. It takes me to a login page, I log in, and then I can view the completed results.

Like texas said just login under your ebay name and then hit the complete listings link. The completed listings button is usually in the tip right of the listings and on the bottom left of the search options box.
 
Another thing ebay has added is price research.
 
That is the price research link for the Honda Magnas I am looking at.
 
Those are the active listings
 
Those are completed listings

...a 1979 or 1980 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue in that same beige-yellow color as andre1969's ride. This one had the Chrysler wire wheel covers but must've had some problem with the rear suspension as the back of the car was crouching on its axle.

Lemko, you'd be proud of me. Tonight I started replacing those aging Firestone Firehawk raised white letter tires that are on my 5th Ave. For anybody who hasn't yet seen pics of that unholy matrimony of police cruiser and luxo-barge, here ya go.
 
Now, I refuse to put its OEM wire hubcaps back on, but I still have the old deep-dish turbine style hubcaps that my '79 Newport had. And I'm going back to whitewalls. Just put a pair of tires on the front that I had sitting around the house. They're about 6 years old, with barely any wear on them, and my mechanic deemed them safe. Eventually I'll have new whitewalls mounted on the back, to complete the look. In the end, it'll look sorta like the cars in this St. Regis brochure.
 
Just out of curiosity, is the plural of "St. Regis" "St. Regises" or "St. Regi?"
