Nope. The seller has it backwards. You pay to have that think hauled away in chunks.

That’s not a restoration project. That’s a parts car.

The moment you load it on the trailer.

That’s where I am with it. It’s an ok price only because of the inventory shortages. 

Unfortunately, in today’s market it is NP.

Much as I hate to admit it that's a good price in the current market.

I hear ya, but $28,500 with the options and in today’s market doesn’t sound terrible, necessarily. Maybe it should be more like $26k, but it does still have some warranty and the mileage is very low.

Yeah, NY doesn’t give a shit where I buy the car. 8% please.

A new one would be about 35k I believe

That sales tax lure only works for in-state AZ transactions. Or, to put it another way, if I were to actually want to register that GTI in MA where we live, the MA RMV would enforce me paying the MA sales tax on the vehicle - 6%.
So....yeah.....ND.

I’ve visited NYC several times. It’s a city like any other. Rules are simple:

If you’re looking to buy a race car, bring along someone who knows the rules for building cars that race in your class.

No Dice! Sure it’s clean and has lowish miles but not at that price. In todays market, maybe $15K on a good day.

I truly want one of these. The price point has come down dramatically — especially in comparison with the later, supercharged models.

I don’t think I could pay over 20K for anything that had a cold-air intake. It screams “my teenage son drove this car and was hanging around an auto parts store and...”

Just no. If you must indulge in such nonsense, at least put the factory bits back on when you sell it.

Nice car, but the seller’s starting bid is already at dealer retail value. The buy it now price is a joke. 

Fun, flawed cars.  There’s no way I would want to look at that interior every day.  You know what else I can get for $21k that has a LS6 and a stick?  A Z06 Corvette.  ND. 

Agree, though I was in HS in the early 00s and nobody had these, I don’t think. Lots of Grand Prix/Am, Tempos, and K-cars, but I can’t recall any Luminas. Maybe they’d all have rotted away by then…

Welcome to having an old house. I have the same in an apartment in Manhattan, combined with extremely crowded spectrum utilization because all the other apartments are the same. The solution: wired Ethernet everywhere. I ran Cat 5E everywhere and have plugged in multiple high priority devices and it has made a world…

A friend of mine has a big problem. The walls of his house is plaster, not sheet rock. That in itself is not bad, but the origial owner used a wire mess so the plaster would adhere to the walls. His rooms are effectively faraday cages with the exception of the windows and doors. This sucks for wifi, but his…
