One owner, low mileage '73

Price: $30000

Location: Hood River, OR

Description:

I'm curious to hear comments regarding the price.  Certainly we have seen base 02s going in this range on BAT.

Forgot to say, NMNA

Based on what I've seen on this forum this last year, $30k seems reasonable. It's not a restomod with questionable pedigree. It's not a driver thrashed around in snow. It's not a track slut. If it truly is a well cared for surviver roundie, why not $30k, or at least $25k?

As a Iowa sate graduate I’m wondering if the owner was one of my professors. ?

That is a great price if you consider what would it take to recreate one to similar shape and to boot a one owner car? Thats almost non existence in the 2002 world with a very few exceptions. 

Besides, like you said we have seen them go in that range and perhaps more on BAT

Completely worth the money.  100%.  Why can this not be listed at the end of December...grrrrrrrrrr......

[LindrelT]

This is EXACTLY the kind of car that does very well on BaT...  don’t understand using CL for it...

[esty]

what is wrong with selling through any outlet?...i would do the same to avoid and deprive the crap tossers on BAT

Good luck.  As others have said, it's hard to find one like this at any price.

Good luck, change out those original front strut bearings if you get it.

My thoughts exactly, those are pretty crispy.

i suppose in some minds you are a good reason for using craiglist and not BAT...you bought it faster and avoid any fees that may be associated with buying a car on BAT....and without having to see it nitpicked down to the gravel in the tire treads before you moved on it

 

good job...congratz...enjoy

The price is very fair considering that the car is a Roundie. If you pay cash you might be able to bring the price down. You don’t see them that nice for that price: BAT will educate you but the fees are 5% of the final price...

Hi you faqqers, long time no see.  I'm the Inka pimp (not the owner, as noted in the CL ad). 

 

The car was accepted for auction by BaT in August, but they were glacially slow in getting back to me with ad copy, and then could not provide a photographer, but would not accept the pictures I originally offered.  Then we got bombed with 3 weeks of smoke, making new pictures difficult.

 

I finally borrowed a DSLR and submitted new pictures 3 weeks ago.  Again, glacially slow response, so the owner asked me to list the car on CL to get it sold before winter arrived with the need to find long term storage.  BaT finally emailed me Monday, and by then I had 8 interested, serious buyers in contact.

 

The car may have brought more on BaT, maybe not.  TBH I'm not disappointed with skipping the parade of instant experts talking sh*t in the BaT comments.

 

Cheers,

Tony
