Should a $32,000 tii be perfect?

[robspeed]

I bet you all can name a few flaws on this one,,, not including the hate-red interior!

Is anything really perfect? I'm sure with enough time and close enough inspection, I could find some flaws to Scarlett Johansen (or at least I'd die trying), but regardless, I'm sure she doesn't have a snorkle where she shouldn't.

definitely worth about 6k at most to me.

Could at least make it complete...missing rubber seals in engine compartment, side mirrors don't match (rectangular on left, trapezoidal on right??), besides interior, maybe $80K?

The engine bat is telling me that the car use to be red, lots of nicks and scrapes.

No offense to the owners, but, no, I would not be proud to own or drive this machine.

Missing the driver's shock tower cap and when they repainted the engine compartment they just sprayed the hood hold-down rod at the same time. One could go on-and-on, but I know it's not a $32.5K ' 02, unless you work on Wall Street or have property in the oil-rich area of Saudi Arabia.

I'd certainly be proud to drive it, it is a pretty nice car overall. I would not, however, be proud to have spent $32,000 on it.

Maybe the Sony stereo is $26K and the car is $6K. Sticker says Malaga, it has the flywheel viewing notch on the firewall so it's had a nose job for sure. Hyman Ltd. only sells mega buck cars so don't know how they ended up with this one.

YES! Ask Bill W.

Definitely not worth the price but man that interior is amazing.

Looks nice - meaning no holes or wear, but what a horrible color.

If I was going to spend that much on a car at once (since I will spend that much on my car in a bunch of little pieces) - it better look like it just came off of the showroom floor in 1972. Otherwise, I'll buy an $11K car (like I did) with good paint, and spend the other $12K on parts.

Hemmings tends to be on the high side from what I've seen. Otherwise, between the mini and the 2002, I've got around $50K worth of cars in my garage!!!!!

Hyman Ltd doesn't always have mega buck cars for sale, they simply ask top dollar for the cars they sell! I've seen them advertise many a questionable quality car before. Being in the Midwest they many times get cars that are not restored well and ask over market prices for them. At least that's what I think.

On this car there are so many warning signs..... I hope any prospective buyer sees them. The biggie is a non original color on this car for the $, nope ain't gonna happen for anywhere near 1/2 that asking price.

Also you'd think they'd throw in a front bumper for $32,000! The car looks strange without one, also the wheels I don't dig either. A $32K car this isn't, maybe a $12K at the best. Whore house red interior is not doing this car any favors. I wonder if the interior was just sprayed red or did someone actually pay to have the vinyl replaced and picked that color? Either way the owner could have done better.

I'd not want to own that car.

You make spill my wine again! Perfection is just one click of photoshop away!

Back to subject: car is hideous in my opinion, but then again some people like skinny chicks.

At least we agree on the car being hideous.

Now, mind you skinny chicks rule!
