Low mileage 80.

Feel like just calling that a “low mileage 80” is doing it a total disservice!!

Right, this thing is RAD!

If it sold for more than 30,000usd, that would be an impressive price.

Good luck selling your vehicle. Looks nice.

That was a weird auction.

 

[ja3aliy]

Just curious. What was weird? I def think it is worth more but the market priced it.

The initial wheel discussion. Where the seller (who sold a ton of LCs) apparently didn't understand what 2 piece rims are.
Not much action for an unusual 80 that's on the ground, legally in the US.
Bizarre accusatory comment from an active site bidder/seller after the auction was complete.
Low (IMO) winning bid. I was surprised it met reserve.
Winner was a brand-new account.
Seller saying that they hoped the buyer didn't complete the deal.


I dunno. It had a weird vibe to me.

Heavy duty tire on split rim completely aired out.

 

[ja3aliy]

Right now there is a sweet diesel on BAT. The bidders have new accounts. I think that is pretty normal. Someone sees a truck they are interested in and creates an account to bid. I wish this would come up during the auction. Give the new bidder a chance to respond.

Also, found an Australian forum validating comment about airing out heavy duty tires on split rims.

Arent you the seller... why would you wish yourself good luck?

Good luck to Tears. I saw he had an 80 for sale. Not sure if it is still available.

Still available, but don't worry, it will be sold one day. Because its automatic transmission isn't a favorite.

 

[ja3aliy]

I think there are people stateside who would rather have an automatic. Especially if it is used for a family car.

 

[Tears]

Stateside?

I think it's too old to be used as a family car.

Whats the meaning of stateside?

 

[ja3aliy]

I mean in the United States. Lots of people use them instead of vans. Unfortunately, a lot of wives can't drive a manual.

 

[ja3aliy]

To end the conspiracy theories. Purchaser is in fact a real person. I was waiting on confirmation because he is in California and I guess he didn't realize the car wouldn't pass emissions. I guess he figured it out. I think he probably bought the cheapest 80 that has 40k miles on it. Congrats to him. Thanks to all for their comments. I already regret selling it.

Carb, split rims, manual, base everything....small buying pool.

Decent buy.

Love to see prices normalizing.

 

[ja3aliy]

Market is definitely down. Eventually, you will probably see less imports.
