Craigslist Flippers... GRR!

If I'd been on top of things two days ago, I could have had a '95 SVX LSi with 118k and a bad diff for $499, or less. Today it's for sale again, different seller, different phone #, very little information, same pics exactly for $795. I guess everyone's entitled to make a buck, but talk about money for nothing!

Re: Craigslist Flippers... GRR!

Here's a link to the ad. Looks like it's pretty clean. Probably worth $700 anyway.

Re: Craigslist Flippers... GRR!

Almost the exact same deal I got. I paid $800 for my 97 Ebony with a bad tranny with 156k miles

Yes. How dare someone try to make a profit on something. The nerve of some people.

Re: Craigslist Flippers... GRR!

I didn't say it was wrong to profit, but I do have a right to be annoyed that I didn't get to it first. There's nothing "wrong" about people that maim good svx's for Vanagon engine transplants either, but it sure makes a lot of people mad here, including me.

I thought this thread was going to be about power folding mirrors. That's 30 seconds of my life I won't get back.

Re: Craigslist Flippers... GRR!

Haha yeah, I missed it the first time as well. but they were threatening to part it.

Turns out its a front diff thats bad. It drove up on the trailer, but it hurt to do so. binding every rotation of gears.
