    I don't think it's in good condition. I notice that term is being used very loosely these days.

    This one may be a $500 car at best!

    I love his comment:

    "i do not really expect 2000 out of it. but im just throwing a number out there and saying OBO"

    Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot right off the bat. On the other hand, at least he's honest.

    I'd say it's a 4-500 car myself.

    It's fortunate that he says his Impala is in good condition otherwise I'd have never known...

    With its weight it can fetch 450-500 (maybe more) for scrap right now...I don't think he'll take less than that but to me that is a $500 wagon at best if it starts, runs, moves, turns, and stops well enough to get on a trailer.

    This is why I haven't bought anything lately. All the $200-$500 cars are getting scrapped right now even if they don't run so I don't have a chance at anything. I'll keep saving. That way I can look at wagons that are nicer than scrap price. Who knows, by spring break I could have $2000 and I can always find lots of nice wagons for $2000-$2500 on various CL's.

    Your right occupant, you can still buy a pretty nice wagon for that kind of money and have something you can work. Can't say that about the newer stuff.

    Occ does have a point, $3-500 GOOD beaters are all but long gone, where I live anyways. I know of alot of people who have scrapped a perfectly good car for the $ because it's rite now $ rather than putting it up for sale, waiting for a phone call, waiting for a possible buyer to show up etc...:(....but sorry, just looking at that wagon, it would have to have some impresive new parts etc, or be the doner I really need to pay more than $200.... and I would not pay that.

    I missed a 1992 Camry wagon by 10 minutes this morning. Guy threw it up on CL for $200 WITH title, was running last month, won't crank, battery tested OK, guy gave up. The buyer came by, checked over it, paid him, signed the title, wiggled the battery cable down by the starter, and DROVE IT AWAY.

    I missed it by >.< THAT MUCH!!!

    They may still be out there but they disappear FAST!!!
