Car for sale...

[RAV_AIR]

I know this isn't the right area, but I really want to get the word out. I've got my Corsa up on eBay. I also posted this in my ad in the Cars for Sale section.

I wish I still had the money, I have more than that in my car and I still can't drive it.

Are you still going to have a 'Vair?

[RAV_AIR]

not for a while most likely. The car really needs a teardown and a repaint but mechanically the thing is practically restored. I'm selling my vair and my truck and buying something "normal". All of the old coots on CC are trying to talk me out of it, but I'm not having it. I need a "normal" late nineties 4 door with a V6. yep yep. Toyota Camry, Subaru Outback, Bonneville, Taurus...one of those.

Well it will be sad for you not to have a Vair, but you do what you need to. I have always liked Toyota's, (Subarus too), nice and reliable.

FYI: There is only one "normal" thing in this world...it's a setting on your dryer!!

Hey Ry. Good luck with the sale.

I understand. When I had the Impreza wagon, it was great! Could throw the kids in, load it with whatever as it was an older car and didn't care if it got scratched and such. Heat worked great. Quiet going down the road. 33ish MPG. I had it for about 10 months, put about 12,000 miles on it. The guy I bought it from had issues with it running. He had replaced the MAF, full tune-up, new front tires, new exhaust, etc.. And still couldn't get it to run right, yea, tires/exhuast had nothing to do with the running issue. $20 later for a used MAF and it didn't give me a stitch of trouble. Changed the oil and put gas in it. Apparently the reman MAF he got from Napa was bad.... I sold it 10 months later, with all the extra mileage for a few hundred less than I had into it. It served well. Sold it to finance getting my Jeep back on the road. I was pretty much brought up riding in the back of the Jeep.

No longer for sale....unless someone wants to offer me a few grand! lol!

No longer for sale ? Huh ? I was just getting ready to bid the big bucks .

Ravvy - straight up and IMHO. Get yourself a decent driver for now and be happy. You can always get another Vair when the time is right. Heck - I've even been Vairless a few times myself

Don't buy some junker with a blown head gasket and expect some stop leak to fix it. I can usually tell with about 30 minutes of seat time whether a car is roadworthy or not. The Japs do make good vehicles. I've had lots of Japanese cars in my life and it's been Toyotas exclusively for the last 16 years. Never one failure - did have an O2 sensor trigger the check engine light on my 2001 Tundra but it did not effect how it ran. The wifes 4 Runner is ten years old without any failures and is still using the original battery.

I did drive my old blue 67 Vair daily for almost 10 years and it never left me walking but it is totally different up here. If it had broken down I could have just pulled over and parked it and easily walked or hitchhiked for help.

I really would't like to break down on the roads and highways/freeways that you have to drive on. It's almost a phobia for me !

Now the humor -- if you do try Ebay again ----- let me help you write the ad
