It comes with like ten other Metros for parts though, right?

Isn’t that about what it cost new?

Was thinking the same thing.

Apparently these don’t depreciate.

And not even a full tank of gas!

The MSRP for the cheapest ‘91 was $7,060 which is around $13,000 in today’s money, so either way a good deal more . Though you can make a case it was only worth $4,500 in ‘ 93 dollars.

Looks pretty clean, but I think spending the extra $100 for the convertible is well worth it:

(sure there’s another one that’s cheaper, and from a dealer instead of some guy who posts one picture and no VIN, but its striping is uglier)

Did anyone actually pay MSRP for them when they were new, though?

I would not at all be surprised if many people drove home brand new Metros for $4500 or less.

I’d assume there were strong discounts, but there can’t have been much margin on these to discount.

Why would you ever need parts for such  a high quality Japanese car? I mean obviously all the parts on yours are working perfectly even despite the harsh rallying.

Twin falls, high and dry. Probably in pristine condition other than some dry rot.

I want to know how the gauge cluster screws managed to rust

I... huh, that is an excellent question.

And to add insult to injury, it’s a manual, so you have to change your own gears like an animal!

I remember in in 2008 when gas was like $4 a gallon and these were going for obscene prices. Apparently this dealership is stuck in last decade.

Did they cost that much when they were new?

They didn’t specify that 73k reflected the CURRENT mileage, amirite?

I wouldn’t say all the parts are working anymore ... But the mosquito abatement equipment is working great!

Which they could fill up for like $18.
