More Detroit CL Gold! Why am I between jobs? :-(

Today's featured marque is Porsche. None are mine, I have no affiliation and will receive no kickback unless you're so happy with your purchase that you want to throw me a little something, you know, for the effort. unga galunga.

first up is an '86 944, white over burgundy, dude broke the transaxle in August and it's been sitting since. has 15" phone dials and is supposed to run good. $800 OBO. http://detroit.craigslist.org/cto/994495671.html

next we've got an early '85 944, red over unknown interior color, has $750 worth of Fuchs on it, asking $2000 OBO. http://detroit.craigslist.org/ctd/996793963.html

and last on the hit parade today is a late '85 944 in silver over burgundy, under 120k miles and had clutch replaced recently, is apparently missing the sunroof panel, wearing 15" phone dials, $1800 OBO. http://detroit.craigslist.org/cto/997623247.html

for any prospective buyer here on the GRM board, for $50 (per car) i'll go take a close look and provide my semi-expert inspection report with photos, but that's where my involvement will end. you do the negotiation, you handle transport. unless you want to pay me more, and then i'll be happy to be more involved.

i could make a bunch of money on each of them, but my wife would probably freak out if i bought a car with my unemployment check. hey, it's not crack, or lap dances, but that's little consolation to her.

this was pretty funny. i am employed (as of this morning) and my wife would freak out too. I am limited to what beaters I can drag home.

Wow are those wheels worth that much? I could have bought a set for $300 last week.

and while we're on the subject of Detroit CL gold:

"if you would like more information feel free to contact me." OK, i'd like more information: why the berkeley did you paint the car that way?

Here you go...

"restoration started" is a phrase with many meanings. to that guy, apparently it means "removed windshield, filled car with crap, and put it in a really narrow storage space."
