I have one that may work. Let me look the car over a little bit first though.

99 mits mirage 4 cyl, auto, around 115k, needs hubcaps, new alternator, basic car. Let me look at it and decide if I want to sell it to a member first. Should be around $2600.


Or I even have that Jetta for $450 in the classified section.

body is in very good shape with no dent and barely a spot of rust next to the right rear wheel well. It is black and was recently professional detailed and buffed. The car looks really good and drives very nice. It has a small ex manifold leak, I have the gaskets for it but havent had the time. It would need an ac condensor for it to work but other than that, there is NOTHING wrong with this car. It is my current dd and I would only sell it to fund mods for the bird.

1993 Chevrolet Lumina, 170k on it, newer engine and trans, runs perfectly, no "real" rust, just lower rocker panel stuff. Brakes are good. 3-speed auto, shifts perfectly. Car has no real problems.

I've noticed over the winter that it's got a slight radiator leak, just add coolant every month to top off and it's in great shape. great tires, it's a 4-door, dr. outer door handle broke a few weeks ago, easy fix. Just passed emissions with flying colors in November. Black in color. Everything works on it just fine.

I'd like to get $1250 for it, but will entertain offers. I think thats fair for a good daily driver. Been my DD since the fall.

Otherwise we have a '87 ElDorado. 85k, PERFECT SHAPE. Perfect paint, no rust, perfect leather interior, BRAND NEW 4.1 V8, rebuilt 4 speed auto. Gets a combined 24mpg. Awesome cruiser, awesome DDer. Blue w/ pimp blue interior and top. Brand new windshield and wiper blades. Car is so perfect, quiet and clean, it's like it's been in a time warp. DOES NOT LOOK 21 years old in any way.
$2500. -- Retailed new @ around 35k

Can supply pix of both, or you can drive over.

ElDorado's have been FWD forever, and we paid $3000, and just put a new windshield on it less than two weeks ago.

Also comes w/ antenna for XM radio already integrated and installed. You should check it out though. Everything works, no rust, it's v8, but a dog (good for kid) Even has a factory alarm.

There is no way you are ever going to sell the caddy for that much. It took me 4 months to sell my 94 eldo (newer body style) for less then that. Mine was baller too, all black, every option, 32v n*, crome rims, 105k miles. Yours would sell for around $1500 IF it is really nice. There is no demand for these cars at all.

You've never seen Dan's Eldo, it's REAL REAL NICE!! It still looks to be in showroom condition...

Plus on yours northstar engines are junk, and everyone knows that... Engine oil leak = $4000 fix... FTL!

Good buy on the Maxima Coop! :thumbsup

I'm sure the Eldo could fetch that $$ in the hood no problem. This car is like it's been in a time capsule, it's so clean

but anyway, congrats on the new whip, coop.

Good call.
I have had a 1992, 1995, and 1998 Maxima, and they were all solid.
The engine is an early VQ series, and are uber-reliable.
Plus, we can visit Yoo with a tube sock full of wood screws if the car turns out to be a lemon.
