C4s -- I was digging into this possibility myself some months ago, and yes, they are a lot of car for the money, but when you read up on build quality and reliability, you wonder if it's also a lot of money for the car. My overall impression after sifting through the evidence is that yes you can go fast for cheap but plan on breaking down a lot. On the other hand, you can get most of your parts at Autozone.

Jeepster Ad
 
Though I learned a little something about craigslist ... it seems they won't let me post the same ad to the Wyoming cl site as well.
 
S'ok; I figure more people will see it in the Denver edition. All it takes is one, I suppose.
 
Any other thoughts as to where I should post this .. I'm not quite ready to go the Ebay route yet.

Just modify a few sentences and the CL system will let you post multiple ads.
 
You could use autotrader too.

Just register with a new name for craiglist WYO or change the wording of your ad, especially the header.
 
Put an ad in Hemmings Motor News (www.hemmings.com) for as little as $15, and in www.autotraderclassics.com, for $49 for a month with a photo.
 
If those 3 don't work, then you are priced too high for sure.

qbrozen....If you need info on Boxsters, go to the Stories from the Sales Frontlines column, and ask "madmanmoo" about them. He sells new and used Porsches. I'm sure he can tell you about reliability and issues on them.

Thanks, boom. I may be mistaking him for another, but I believe he may be relatively new to the Porsche selling game.
 
In any case, if I do get serious about it (or, should say, if I'm allowed to), I will be sure to do my homework.

Reliant: "great collector's item" except it has no collector value as it doesn't even come with original running gear. Then he gives a writeup of a model 9 years newer that describes engine choices his doesn't even come with.
 
I like the Maverick... but I think it's a bit overpriced for what it is.
 
The Olds Aurora.. "all emblems removed"... there were a grand total of 2 or 3 emblems on the Aurora. I remember when the car came out there was no "Oldsmobile" emblem anywhere on the car. I always liked the shape of the Auroras though, and the Intrigues for that matter.

I think the Reliant is actually a 1983...bit it can't be worth more than the change in my pocket, especially in that condition.
 
The Aurora was a good last gasp for Olds.

I did a tune up on one of these. Once. Told the guy never to call me again. You almost have to pull the engine to change the 3rd plug on the drivers side. My hands looked like hamburger by the time I got through.
 
Just cause you can make it fit, doesn't mean you should.
