!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Found these for sale on Kijiji in Alberta...other side of the country from me, but very surprised to see them as they are FAR from a common ‘classic’ here in Canada! This guy has TWO! I contacted him for fun and he isn’t really open to selling them one at a time right now, which is a shame....it’s more of a ‘feeler’ ad. I would say he’ll have far less chance selling them together as who is out there looking for TWO ‘weekend’ cars at once?
He said if he ever sold them separately, he’d do $5500 for the teal one (a newer car from 1996, but unrestored and in slightly worse shape) and $10,000 for the fully restored white one. I would want the later teal EL model car, but he also wouldn’t tell me what options were on either car, which I thought was odd...”for options wouldn’t matter as price would be firm”...he said. Not sure how the price make any difference on what options the cars have. Pretty sure anybody who knows the cars will DEFINITELY want to know the options on them regardless of price (myself included!).
$5500 is not a bad price, but that’s excluding the shipping I would pay to get it here from Alberta. All told, I could probably import a near-mint one from Poland for something like $6000 CAD including shipping, etc. Will definitely be keeping an eye on the ad though! :D

Jerky sellers make me leery. The options thing doesn’t bode well. This seems like the kind of ad posted because an unsympathetic spouse wants the cars to vanish, so he prices high and then claims he can’t sell.
“Peaks my interest” also grinds my gears, you should ask him if the cars have new breaks.

I don’t know, it’s an odd one....parts of his reply seem genuine, but that part somewhat turned me off...

Not a serious seller, at the very least, more like a guy with unique cars who likes attention.
Your own private import may be the best - you can choose from a larger selection, actually know the options, and maybe make it a holiday at the same time.

The teal one has the optional XXL velocity stacks on the carburetor...
As for the options comment, he might just be trying to avoid haggling over some obscure detail. Now that you know the price is firm, you can acknowledge this in your reply and reiterate your interest in having more information. Maybe he’ll open up.
Or, maybe he really just doesn’t want to sell them separately so he’s trying to get you to buzz off...

Except the 126 is rear-engined! :P
