1990 Suzuki Alto Works RSR. Turbo, AWD Kei car, according to the tag in the window. Neat little thing, and for sale, too, if anyone is really interested.

That car has been for sale for quite some time. Over a year at this point, I believe.

The price has dropped a fair bit over time (I think it used to be around $8k), but I’m guessing there’s got to be something else that’s causing people not to buy.

Yeah, it’s about a mile from my house, and I’ve seen it off on and on for at least 6 months with a sign in the window. A post the other day (from the twingo tamer) of a similar car prompted me to finally take some pictures of it. Down to $6,850 now, and it does seem odd to me that it’s been for sale that long- although the seller is clearly driving it.

I have $3 that isn’t already dedicated to my car or bills

Well, it’s been for sale for quite some time, but probably not that long. :) It’s not something that excites me personally all that much - especially when you start to think about parts availability here in the States. If I’m going to get a car that parts aren’t available for, it’ll be early 60's Detroit iron.

This car has been for sale for a LONG time. Probably about a year and a half. I thought about it last April (04/12, I just found the text from the number in your photo), and I was concerned because the ad was expiring and there was snow in the pictures. I wonder if there just isn’t much of a market, or what? I remember seeing it at maybe $8k, and now it sure looks like that window tag says $6950...

$6,850, actually. I took a closer shot of the tag, but didn’t post it - the phone number is on there, although you might be able to zoom in and read it anyways. Someone else posted that it was $8k some time ago. It’s pretty odd that no one has bitten on it - but the owner *does* drive it, because sometimes I see it, sometimes I don’t. I presume they work at the martial arts studio I always see it at.

Isn’t there a guy on here who’s been frothing over these? Seems like a match made in heaven

I ’ m guessing that you ’ re referring to Car Guy, Twingo Tamer - About to Conquer Europe in the Name of Twingo - he ’ s actually the one who prompted me to take pix of this —
