I've always wanted a beater... Best $400 I've ever spent
I've been eyeing this car parked in a driveway near home for a few months now, and finally decided to show some interest. It's a 1985 Porsche 944 NA. He was asking $3250, and somehow I got him down to $400. It runs GREAT and only needed a new battery! Handles very well and is fairly powerful given the age (very similar to a stock FRS). Easily the best $400 I've ever spent.

Well that may be a low-balling record.

Check local papers to confirm that it wasn't used in a recent robbery or homicide.
But on the serious, that's an epic transaction. |

Another great find! Is it 944 week or something at the forums?
It always help if you see an older car on a driveway to go up to the owner and ask if it's for sale. I always find that the best deals are met that way...

Are you seriously not going to tell us how you got from $3250 to $400?! My money is on you either giving the best hanjo in the state, or persuading him in true mafioso fashion. So which was it?
...Also, congrats on the new ride.
