Selling my Speedster.

Too bad you're selling it. But it sounds like you've got another car in the works?

Let us know, Jim.

Indeed, another 4 wheeled project that begins with a P and sounds like the place you sit in a rocking chair and watch the world go past.  That being said, even though I have two nice sized garages, and I just sold one of my favorite vintage motorcycles, I still do not have enough room for all the toys and tools... So, I will keep you posted on the outcome of the sale and what comes next if everything works out. 

You may want to put something in the Classified section.

I imagine this won't be around long. I haven't seen a sub 20k running speedster in quite a while.  I would be interested but I have far too many cars at this moment.

It is priced right - unfortunately after driving season is over in upstate NY so slower to sell. Need someone with garage stall and time to personalize it over winter.

I'd put it on I'd list on SAMBA and ReinCARnation too.  Add engine and interior photo. All are free.

Thanks for the sales tips guys.  After just returning from a European vacation and anniversary celebration with my wife, I read the post, "Is this the future of car repairs?"  And, am seriously considering keeping my completely wrenchable, non-computerized, non-OBD ll, non-electronic, non-emission control loaded, VW based Speedster!  Yikes, my daily driver Mazda CX3 just went to the dealer for it's 60K service.  I drive a lot for work!  It is under 2 years old and still in warranty for major stuff.  The cost for the service you ask?  $375.00 and I skipped a $125.00 "cabin air filter!"  Yikes!  

   Next week my BMW K1600GTL Exclusive, (motorcycle) is going to my closest dealer, (600 mile round trip) for it's 36,000 mile service. It is a complete service with valve clearance adjustments, spark plugs, coils and such.  Estimated cost if "nothing major is discovered,"  $950.00.   I just bought the special code reader and reset computer thingy for my bike and my friend Pete has the same bike. $400.00.  Ugh!!!!! The future of car repairs is already here!!!! 

Why a lot of us are spending real money on a clown-car with huge limitations baked right in the cake: Exhibit A.

Exhibit B is no rust, ever. 

All right now... Here is some more of the story.  My Mazda CX3 goes in for 60K service. They keep it overnight to replace all the fluids.  My wife takes the Mazda this morning to go to work and I am readying her car today to trade in on a new Hyundai Kona. All good, right?  This is from the same dealership....

   Then, I walk out to where my Mazda was parked and there is a pool of Motor Oil, (full synthetic" on my driveway.)  I try to get hold of her at work, but she is out of her office and so I drive over to look under the Mazda..... You guessed it, another nice pool of oil!  I called the dealer and said that they should come and tow the car, call me when they get it, explain how and why their "technician" could not screw in a plug and crush washer to the proper specs.  And, if it is damaged, cross threaded, stripped or worse, we will proceed with legal action. Ugh!!!! Dealerships! Ugh!!!!  Should I cancel the order for the Kona?  Ugh!!

Exhibit C: we're cool like dat.

I'm not cool like dat.... More cool like Winston Churchill! ;-0
