#16383 of 19346 Re: 5 things you never knew about MR2s [qbrozen] by guss Jan 09, 2009 (11:22 am)
Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 09, 2009 6:02 am) I like what's behind door # 2 much better. Seems to be unmolested and the original interior looks to be in excellent shape. Being the original owner is a huge plus, if he has all the receipts you better start bidding it is not going to stay at $2500.   Door # 1 is looking for the right buyer because this is a "feeler sale only". Sounds like the kids at the park should be nervous. Replies to this message: qbrozen (Jan 09, 2009 1:03 pm)

Replying to: guss (Jan 09, 2009 11:22 am) with no turbo and bad bearings and questionable AC, I'm not sure door #2 SHOULD go that high.

Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 09, 2009 10:25 am) just write the seller that you would want to do the same thing for insurance coverage and what company is that?

This in no way, shape, or form, can be considered a "luxury car".   Aside from the vinyl, I think this is the same interior.   I wonder if the surfboard has the wreath & crest on it.   Last of the andremobiles.   A fitting end for malaise-era luxury.   Let's complete the trifecta.   I forget, was the turbo a portent of doom in these?

True, the '99 LeSabre isn't a luxury car, but unless I missed it, the seller makes no claim regarding luxury.   The Dodge Dart sedan, on the other hand, is clearly not a classic, as the seller claims it is.

Replying to: bumpy (Jan 10, 2009 5:34 am) Luxury Le Sabre..... I think what you mean is that if Buick is supposed to represent luxury, it's either not a Buick or Buick doesn't represent luxury. A sad use of the Le Sabre name.   As for the rest, you've certainly reminded me of what a sad time the end of the 70's were.   I do have to say, though, that I always kind of liked the Nova based Seville.... at least it wasn't FWD and looked (to my eyes) a lot better than the rest of the Caddy family in those days.   And on the Dart, I think by 76 they'd stripped out all the things that made a slant six such a great engine.... like most of the bearings. Is it not so, Andre? Replies to this message: andre1969 (Jan 12, 2009 8:54 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 12, 2009 9:14 am) fintail (Jan 12, 2009 12:37 pm)

Replying to: bumpy (Jan 10, 2009 5:34 am) 90 volvo turbo -- like all turbo cars of that era, they were more fragile than their NA counterparts. I think higher engine temperatures caused by turbo power were not as well dealt with as they are today.   79 Seville -- well at least we know that 30 years doesn't make one of these valuable. Maybe 50?   Ah, the late 70s. Now you know why wrecking yards don't want to keep these cars for people---no profit in them.

Replying to: bumpy (Jan 10, 2009 5:34 am) That Dodge is the same as the one used in the movie Duel. I've been starting to like them recently. Thye're cheap and simple. Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Jan 10, 2009 1:05 pm)
