Invested
That’s not an investment, that’s a waste of money.

I’ll argue with the results... they are poor.

So what happens when you buy a car like this? Do people give you shit for buying a built car? Does the PO keep tabs on you?

But why?

Also, looking at the ad: I can appreciate the aesthetics of some mildly stanced/bagged cars, but the only thing that looks worse than the broken-axle look is when the rear wheels are cambered significantly more than the fronts. Why would you do that?

should have capitalized ‘Big Time Magazines’
and left out Automatic.

$70k invested. I can only assume he screwed up the first few times, and had to throw the car away and get a new one. That’s the only way to get to that number.
Also, turning 70k into 10k is not an ‘investment’, it’s a bonfire.

He’d be so much better just taking his money and lighting it up.
That’d be fun, too.

Not arguing with you, either.

I can’t even justify it by saying “because he could.”
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

No pictures of interior or the bed.

Does 10k include in the trailer and the two-wheeled thing? Even then, it still seems like a bad deal. This the kind of thing that takes a car and makes it appeal to exactly one person, which never helps resale value.

you can build your own for only $3500 plus paint:

I couldn’t tell you. All I know is that the guy is whack.
Like you said, it appeals to exactly one person. I would never expect someone to buy my project and after that investment I’d be buried with it.

i also find it humorous how we are trashing on someone who understands completely money in=/= money out. the dude is asking for a very reasonable figure for his unique car and we are making fun of him for it. give him a break hes at least realistic about market value

INTERNET FAME!
I’m here to collect my Internet money.

Oh yeah. I’m not reacting to him acknowledging that fact just the fact that he’s actually selling after that investment. I’d be buried with that car at that point.

He knows shops. The best shops. Huge shops. Shops with people. The best people. People you never have heard of. Professionals.

Apparently it doesn’t even appeal to that one person anymore..
![]() 10/26/2016 at 16:54 |

That’s what I was thinking. At that point in a project, just bury me in the car.

I dont hate it and I suppose we all waste a fortune on our hobbies. If he enjoyed the car I guess its worth it but 70k is completely mental.

Fuck off with that ‘invested’ shit, craigslist. Unless you are selling stocks, bonds, mutual funds or a business, you can quit listing all the cash you’ve burned on whatever pile of scrap you’re hawking, because you are noooooooot gonna see a return on it. That money has been for all intents and purposes set on fire. Deal with it.

There are small ‘Hot Import Nights’ style shows that happen all over the country. I suppose you could take this thing to one of those and get a lot of likes on your facebook page or something.
110% not at all worth $70k + a new Golf, trailer and Honda ruckus to make all that happen, though.

Ah, no need for pictures then, the workmanship and taste must be top notch. I’m sure I’ll be pleasantly surprised in both categories when I go to purchase this vehicle.

That’s only 20 minutes (who am I kidding, hour minimum in traffic here) from me. How has it not made it to Katie’s C&C to get laughed at?

With that much put into it, it should be twin charged and have AWD.
