Gentlemen, we have arrived...

At the next level of values of excellent condition X19s...

May the speculation begin....

PS - I have an almost mint condition rust free 87 with 36k miles for $10k....

Not from what I see...

...I show it as being relisted. Oh...now I see it. Looks like the listing ended, was re-listed and then marked as sold.

That makes me feel better about all the money I will be spending restoring my 86 red/charcoal 54K mile Bertone.

But mine has windshield rust.

But wait!! So did this one. Look at the re-listed version of the ad, last pic.

Looks about like my windshield frame does!

All ribbing aside, I'm glad to see a nice X sell for a decent dollar figure. :dance2:

Ot oh..I never checked out that 2nd set of photos...huge subtraction in my book :nod:

LOL,,,I hear ya, Greg...BUT...

...as you can see in the listing below...just about ANY old car with low mileage can sell for good money.

When the average condition X1/9's cannot be found for under $4000 I will be willing to change my opinion. I can go on Craigslist right now and buy one of about 20 X's for under $4000, most being $2500 or less.

We'll see the red/charcoal X up again...

I'm betting on it. As soon as the new owner discovers the decay rate around the windshield area, it'll be re-posted.

Though the car is sold, no one really knows what the new buyer actually paid for it.
Looks like it was taken down as a private sale. IMHO.

Nope proper BIN was used by someone...not a private sale. Rust never sleeps...

Along with this pic added to the 2nd listing was the line "Small amount of rust on driver's side windshield." in the copy.

Maybe a quick full disclosure made in haste to cover his rear end in case of an impending sale?

This seriously detracts from the credibility of the original ad.

That Yugo .....

....has been for sale for over a year now. Our Service Manager at Midwest-Bayless has an even nicer, lower mileage Yugo...but he will never sell it. :whistle:

This is why I don't bet anymore

Just like that brown one that went for over 10K this one did in fact sell for $8500 with great Feedback left pretty much seals it for me :thumbsup:
