<@jeepinmatt MOD EDIT because the software put the moved posts ABOVE the original post in the thread: Since we all like to comment on for sale threads, but no chit chat is allowed, I'm starting this thread for good natured conversation about various for sale threads. If you want to heckle someone or bust their balls, there's another thread for that. Keep this cordial and GenChitChat friendly. OR ELSE!>

Considering the sale is pending I’ll “chat in a f/s thread”. Damn this seems REALLY CHEAP!! No??

Every time a good amount of healthy, forum promoting banter goes into a for sale thread it gets split/moved/killed/banned

Sorry, didn't know you were so sensitive. :flipoff2: As you've probably observed, I generally turn a blind eye, but when people start talking about price in an active thread it changes the nature.

There was a time where $7500 for a 25 year old vehicle with a quarter million miles would have been higher than giraffe....ears. But in this post Covid world, being a desirable vehicle in good condition, I suppose that's a good price. I paid that much for an XJ with rust. 🤷‍♂️

Those were peak Toyota, they had more creature comforts but still simple and sewing machine reliable, with care it could easily break 500k. Early 90s to 2000 cars will continue to grow in vslue as those of us that pined for them as teens can now afford a second vehicle. 70s and 80s cars were mostly crap save some trucks like c10 and f150 and ugly too. 60s and earlier are not pleasant to drive unless you want that clunky feel. Anything past mid 2000s is planned obsolescence in action

I'm of the opinion that late 90's-early 2000's was a peak in the automotive world, where reliability was good, creature comforts were sufficient, computerization was minimal, emissions standards were minimal, and aesthetics were solid. And you could still get a manual in most things.

Mid 90s Toyotas perfect example.

I kinda want to buy Jody’s SRT when it’s done, but if a rusty XJ brings that kind of money, then I’m scared to find out what a great condition SRT GC will bring after Jody has touched it. :laughing:

To be honest- I want a certain profit from my total cost. It'll be under market value.
