Once common, now uncommon, priced very high for condition
Kramer would probably approve
Great spec and colors, and the price they carry these days
Ditch those headlights stat, terrible trend
Mullets are coming back
So that's how they did the Ghia window
Lots of flash for the cash
Pretty bizarre condition for age and mileage
You used to be able to find these all day for 1/10th this price
Might be reasonable
These exist
Luba Potamkin would approve
Seems fair

The '79 Cadillac coupe could be a nice car. Too bad the front seat upholstery appears stretched to within a millimeter of its life. Perhaps the seat foam has turned to dust.

Four of us rented a sedan to drive to Naples, one year. (17 hours, each way). Even though they looked downsized, they were huge inside. The back seat area was enormous.

Spokane CL is pretty slow, I check it once or twice a day at most, and keep a mental list of what I have seen.
Not sure why, hoping to happen across some weird oldie that I need as much as a hole in my head. Local FB Marketplace is a gongshow, so many misdescribed cars and terrible ads
This is marketplace for you. Same exact pics listed in two locations w crazy low price. Scam scam scam

Parked on one of Spokane's endless amount of time warp streets that appear untouched by time, a few more period cars in the background and one could say this is 1963 (or maybe 1923 with older cars):
And as this is a project car thread, the car decided it wants attention. The driver's side rear brake is leaking. I usually check for leaks/spots before and after every drive, and when I got back today, I noticed a spot under the car. I looked under the car and could see fluid on the inside sidewall of the rear tire. Fun! Brake reservoir didn't look lower than normal, so for now a minor leak, but it'll need attention asap.

We drove into town (about twenty minutes) and shut it off at the university. When we came back about a half-hour later, it again started somewhat difficultly, which caught my attention. However, we had a schedule to keep, so off we went to Anchorage! In Healy, about two hours south, we again shut off the car for a quick rest break, and it almost didn't start up again! Temperatures were still in the -20F range.
I had my son call down to O'Reilly in Eagle River to make sure they had a new battery on hand for us when we arrived, and we stopped in at about noon to get it. Shockingly, the new battery was $270 (I think I spent about $140 on the old one in 2012).
All told, the battery lasted us a little over eleven years across two cars and one substantial collision. Not to shabby.

I first installed it in the 2010 Forester with about 30,000 miles on it back around March 01, 2012, and used it in that car until its fatal crash on March 01, 2017 with 107,500 on the ticker. Then, I installed it in the 2013 Forester in June of 2017 where it stayed until Friday. I don't recall the mileage on the newer Forester, but I'll say it was right at 60,000 after driving it home from the dealer in Illinois. The car had a tick over 113,000 miles at O'Reilly. So, what's that... about 130,000 miles total on the battery?
The truck gathered maybe 500 miles during that same timeline.

Nothing to do with the batteries themselves, but more the way that the car uses it over time. Battery drain while off will definitely shorten the life of any battery, and it is the primary reason why batteries *tend* to not last as long in a modern vehicle as in something like my plow truck (all factors being equal). So, if the car drains more than it must, you're in for a frustrating time!
If you drive the car daily, you may never notice the extra strain (until the battery quits from old age 2-3 years later!), but let it sit for a week or two, and you'll be lucky if it starts when you try it.
I know this well with my Audi Q7.

ON the bright side got a killer deal by negotiating well on the windshield; he tried to get me to blurt out Safelite's quote, but I knew that was a recipe to get $200 off or less... ended up costing $399.99 for aftermarket glass which was $250 less than Safelites' quote.
Amazing condition, and those miles
Odd. uneven
Same one as before?
Ah so it does have hood damage, I wonder about the rest of it
The sword
Seems steep for the needs
Seldom seen, switch the wheels back stat
Period piece
EX - manual - moonroof - something must be wrong as this seller usually prices optimistically to put it nicely
Those seats don't work in this application
Might be fair
At one time all of this JDM import flipper stuff would have entertained me, but it's becoming more common with time

the Accord looks very clean. that would likely be a rotted out mess around here.

That generation of Accord is just such a great design. All business.
International would be an awesome sleeper/cruiser project.
The Chevy pickup is interesting with that color combo.
Wheels on the Z are just awful, also I usually love white but not on that car.
Flame suit on …. I don’t hate those Mopar mid 80s convertibles. That one isn’t a great color.. but in the right colors and wheels they aren’t that bad.

No. Engine bay gives me an idea of how little care went into the details. Maybe $6500, give or take a nickel.

$9500 may be a bit high but the condition seems pretty good. Engine compartment looks about like what I’d expect.

plus you are only talking about a few $1,000 here. Not like a car that normally doesn't crack $20K selling for $50k. and not like they are making any more!

Looks well cared for, rare in this trim, probably fair in today's money
Still for sale, I love the color combo, probably fair as these are crossing into special interest car territory
Ambitious rear stripe

Future obscure car
Getting thin on the ground
I imagine it acts like a sail in crosswinds and then there's the price (local CL seems overrun with this JDM stuff all of a sudden, at least ship over some cars)
"Sweeten the deal" with a functional exhaust please
I like the list of what it doesn't have, also no mention of the whiskey dent
Not many left so untouched, price seems to reflect the trend
Admirable preservation, but I am not sure the author knows what "boho" means, this is more like "frugal grandpa"
Lasts forever in this climate, cool on those wheels/caps (period Celica/Supra would be cool too), seems fair
parts, you might have more trouble finding an electronic module for a 15 YO car.

The lack of ability to be scanned and the fault told will make old cars harder to take to shops as time goes on.
Just watched a Rainman Ray video last night. Had to replace the mechanical distributer on a 1985 Chevy. And set the timing by ear because he said he hasn't owned a timing light in 10 years. Or worked on a car with a carb in ages either.
