The price reflects the condition.

I've got this listed on Saskatchewan craigslist, but in case there are some lurkers looking for a car saftied and ready to roll I'll post here!

Some of the main details:

177,000miles (means nothing on this car)
Manual transmission
Air conditioning (can't verify if it works, haven't owned it in summer months)
Cruise
CD player
Power sunroof/mirrors/windows
Heated seats

Some history. This car was owned by a dentist in wisconson for many years, the car was very well kept and dealer maintaned. The car was then sold to a gentleman in St.Paul, MN for the last 4 years (approx) who parked the car inside and maintained the same upkeep.

I imported this car late October 2007 and got it saftied for Saskatchewan in November.
Reason for sale: Two weeks after I bought the 744 I found a 740 wagon which is more suiting to my needs.

Pretty sure yours does too, Kat. No? I don't get under the hood of Roberta's car nearly as often as I should.

Gorgeous car, Geoff. I wonder if Beth would like driving a red sedan?

By the way, did you ever get my PM about the Eikers?

Beth would love to drive a red sedan. I don't know where $3500 would come from at the moment...

Hey guys.. the C70 is NOT pink! :P I miss that car, and won't stand for that abuse!

Matt.. I did recieve that PM. It was one of those read quick in the AM and think *i'll reply later to this since I don't have time now*, and like always I forget. I do this all the time, Ian probably knows... I'm just bad for it. I'll send you one here right away.

Thanks for the great comments guys/gals. I pretty much assumed none of the members I know would need it, but I thought it didn't hurt to post. I've had 3 or 4 people PM from Saskatchewan on turbobricks interested in the 244, that surprised me even more!

Vik.. what's the "new one"? The 745 basket case? or which one are you talking about... Oh, and I started the beater up today.. it has been months, doesn't skip a beat. Do you still want that thing come spring (just checking)?

ciao

Well I can included spare PS stuff with it to!

I'll get some better pictures of the 745 if it actually passes inspection.
I just welded in some patch pannels in the passenger and driver footwell *gleams with pride*. My first time doing something like that.

It's a total basket case.. bondo on the roof :shock: and other odd pannels. 338,000km, engine knock, some bio-degradable wiring and more. Fortunately the interior is quite nice and if you're not that close to it, the car doesn't look like a $250 car. However, it will be treated as one.

I have an aeroflow body kit waiting for some sort of 745.. I think I need to find a minty 745 for that though. So in time I'll lose all my 240s expect for the 242 and use a 745 for year round use. This is the plan for now, that will probably changed tomorrow, or I'll wuss out in getting rid of the 244 like always.

how about a shiny black 945? Would your aero kit fit on that? :wink:

Uhm... are you saying you're selling Darth? My aero kit won't all fit on that.. and I do like the early 89- cars in looks better.. but a newer 940 might be a smarter move!

Are you actually selling Darth?
