Good lord. That thing is a time capsule.

 

effing autobox. What a bummer. Beautiful car.

 

Very nice.

 

For what it's worth, that car is an 89. 88 base cars were all 8 valves and "S" were NA 16 valve. It also has the coil mounted on the pass fender that was 89 only. And the pink emissions sticker on the pass fender says 89

 

I have a MY88 US-spec 900S 4dr with the coil mounted there. But the tag indicates built 03/88 so maybe it was a late-88 into 89 thing.

 

weird, 89 No passive restraint belts? It looks like it had a good seat belt swap. Correct head liner etc.

 

mileage?
assume everything works - no surprises or idiot lights?
since seller neglected to price it, whats errbodys opinion?

 

That dash is a rare bird!!! No cutout in the underside of it for a console to slide up into.

That's awesome seeing a car like that. As vanilla as you could ever hope to get in a C900.

 

Thanks, Moonracer. I wasn't really looking that closely, and relaying what the guy told me.

 

You should buy it Jim and keep it for the twins to share for when they are old enough to drive Nice example of a base C900 too.

 

Wow, that's clean!!

 

Wow, really nice car. Reminds me of my 85 when I first got it.

 

Does it come with a spare jetronic?

She's pretty, GLWS

 

Wow - this is what I was looking for when I upgraded from my Geo Metro... even with the auto I would have seriously considered this. GLWS

 

rules require a price, no?

 

Yeah, the guy doesn't know what to price it at. Name your (fair) price and I'll relay it to the owner.

 

So no one bitches about it lets just say its $1m OBO

 

ROFL...

The car is obviously well kept, but I'm curious about whether that's the original paint. If so, I'm guessing the car was garaged for most of its life, as the gray cars of that vintage tended to fade on the hood and roof....

This one looks like it just rolled off the boat!

 

although the sun is a little stronger in DC, the winters are much milder.
Every time I go down to visit the g/f , I notice how many cars are on the road there that died years ago up here. (think 80's jap stele, and V240 rear fender rot)

Awesome find, for sure, and would be a great car to put-around in on the weekends. I wish I had the space for another car!

 

I'll start the bidding at $156.00.

 

i'll throw $1,000 at it.

 

I am glad this is not a manual - because I would have been down this weekend to buy it. lol If this was closer I'd still have a hard time not buying it - but I must avoid picking up any cars I don't "need" right now.

Bump for a sweet looking classic in great shape!

 

Okay, so far we've got $1000. Relayed to the owner.

 

Bump

So, just for the sake of trying to stick somewhere close to the typical classified rules here, did the owner reject the $1,000 offer? Is there any range or ballpark he's shooting for?

This sounds like it should find its way over to Saabnet if it hasn't already. Might be worth the $35 or whatever it is now for the owner to find the right next owner for the car

 

Bump

 

nice car, shame it's an auto... that really kills it for me as it would need to be converted to a 5 speed to be a fun car to drive, those 3 speed autos take all the fun away.

 

Just got an update from the owner. He's looking for $1600.

 

I would pay that, gladly! Does he take paypal? Could he continue to store it for a week or two?

Thanks!

 

That's a wicked price......


That little car would carry someone's ass until they were downright sick of riding in it. $1,600 won't get you a rusted out Civic with a fart can these days.....
