[Alias Is Apac]

[Atrosity]

all other platforms suck.

/thread!

[Alias Is Apac]

lol, this is true, and i really am just seeing what i can get for my car, i doubt that i will actually be able to trade it, just because i think i'd get cold feet... :/

[FeaRpb]

[1stStealthN/A]

Trade? I've only been addicted for 4 years and still think they're cool cars.

[TT4ME]

Your SL was 45,000 in '98? Wow.

[mb7050]

buy a vr4.

I would never buy a 240... however any of these I wouldnt mind to have

Nissa Skyline GT-R any modelyear, Mazda RX-7 (FD3S), Supra MKIV turbo and Honda NSX

[Amphiron]

Yeah, use it for a down payment on a NSX. You can get them for 25 grandish. I think that and a viper is the only other sports car i'd consider owning, i'm keeping my stealth forever tho, can't just sell a car you've put 100's of hours into.

[GTOJOE]

Buy an EVO or an NSX. Only 2 cars I would sell my GTO for.

[Alias Is Apac]

Your SL was 45,000 in '98? Wow.

it's fucking craigslist... and i rounded up b/c i am trying to come out on top on this deal...

hence the reason i did not post a 3s for sale/trade thread on 3sgto or 3si.org...

i am not looking to get lowballed on the forum that the car's platform enthusiasts reside...

/thread derailing.

[R/T93]

Get a 07 CTS-V

Nice ass cars, 4 door, V-8 6 SPEED!

Oh, so because you posted on craigslist only, it's ok to straight out lie about your car for your financial gain?

You're fckin twisted.

aye, it's called capitalism.

[WestAusGTO]

Yup those or a new GTR..

[Fakepower]

Your SL was 45,000 in '98? Wow.

Not true ..
Edit... already established.

[terrets]

Please dont get a 240. Unless your planning at least an RB25 or 26. :p. Thats the ONLY way to roll in a 240 :)

[GTOJOE]

is the USDM 240 a 2.4L 4 banger? we only ever had the 180 and the 200 here. Don't know about the 240 but the SR20DET in the 200SX was awesome. And the CA18DET in the early silvia and 180 SX wasn't bad either. Lots of support for them.

[terrets]

Yes they are 2.4L.....I guess the SR20s are alright but a little weak :p And really common in the states it seems.

[Amphiron]

aye, it's called capitalism.

Well in that case, I wouldn't give you more then $2500. You failed to mention anything about having the car serviced for it's 60k tune up. But I guess that don't matter because anyone that is interested in buying a car like this, most likely knows what it is and is just going to see the $45,000 comment, laugh and close your add.

i assumed rb26 was a given... :P

[Atrosity]

Get a Toyota Previa

[CoopKill]

Get a Toyota Prius

Fixed, outright lying to sell is pretty low!

[SupraMKIII]

Stick a 2JZ in a Datsun.

[nogreatloss]

He lied about the car being $45,000 12 years ago. Its not like he told everyone it had a full engine rebuild. Whoopdi fuckin doo.

[Atrosity]

[yellowbeast94]

i think you should part out your car and buy a mustang...lmao

+1 thank you...

if i cared about being completely right about the value of a car 12 years ago, i'd have become an appraiser...

and those who have replied, telling me i'm a horrible person for embellishing the initial value of a car, back when it was new, can lick my dick, as i am not trying to sell/trade on this forum, or any other forum for that matter...

once again... it's craigslist...


















one final time... it's craigslist...

[Atrosity]

Well you started a thread on a platform that you currently belong to asking us "hey i am leaving you guys for something else, where should i go?" when in fact all of us love our cars for a reason, all of us are going to say stick with a 3S obviously and if you want a new car most people upgrade to a vr4. So if you aren't really a 3S enthusiast then I highly recommend finding another platform so we don't have to deal with your childish attitude.

To answer your question in the orginal post, go buy a supra mk4.

i've been in and around a 3K since i was nine years old... there is nothing about the platform that i haven't explored or appreciated, save the few unsavory forum trolls found on the platform's many forums, just like every other forum...

the platform is stale, aftermarket support is very little, and the cost to maintain to leave a bitter taste in any owner's mouth.

my 3k has been the best car and longest running car i have owned thus far.

and the topic of the thread was to ask what other 3s owners bought after they retired their 3k, not to troll my ad and tell me the initial value of my car was not what i stated in my ad...

explain how I, ME, Alias Is Apac, am being childish...



your logic is flawed my friend, and your posts are not welcome...

[Alias Is Apac]

aye, i'd love to get an r34, but they are about fucking impossible to get registered as they are not DOT approved due to them never being crash tested... :/

[terrets]

lol, well of course dude...

i assumed rb26 was a given... :P

Bitchin!

[Alias Is Apac]

Bitchin!

bahaha, but i believe rb25 would be easier, and just as much fun!

[mcshooter]

please dont leave 3s , please,please, now you got what you wanted so gtfo

[TT4ME]

please dont leave 3s , please,please, now you got what you wanted so gtfo


Lol, BRB I have to post some BS on craigslist so I can screw somebody.

IT'S OK.. IT'S ONLY CRAIGSLIST!!!








I'll say it again. It's Only Craigslist!





Fuckin idiot.

[terrets]

I love how everyone is pulling the "rebuilt" crap on there.....

Ya an RB25 would be wayyyy easier :D

[reallyxxxxxxloud]

TT4ME shut up for god's sake. Your bitching is a bore.

What was the true price of the 3S in 98?
Id probably get a 3 Series Coupe in black. Drop it on its ass and tub the fuck out of it.

[terrets]

Ooohhh that is sexyyyy

[reallyxxxxxxloud]

Id like the V8 but they limited the series here in Australia to 100 units :(
Price will be high to. A V6 is $70ish thou...

[GTOJOE]

V6 or inline 6? I thought the beamers only used inline 6. The twin turbo 6 from the M3 is just fucking amazing.

[Alias Is Apac]

aye, i'm looking at an e36 m3 right now, a guy saw my ad and is interested...

and i've always wanted an e36, so i'm crossing my fingers!

[Alias Is Apac]

Fuckin idiot.

lol god damn dude... i'm really getting to you, aren't i?

1998 Mitsubishi 3000 GT
MSRP: $27,770 - $46,230
Invoice: $24,152 - $38,829
Miles Per Gallon
City: 18 MPG - 19 MPG
Highway: 24 MPG - 25 MPG

[TT4ME]

1 lie leads me to believe your whole ad is BS.

Besides all of that, any year SL (& any car 12 years old) with 200k is lucky to pull $500 in any market. GL with your sale/trade.

[Atrosity]

:stupid:

except a spyder!

[Alias Is Apac]

well it's a good thing you aren't interested in my car then...

believe what you want, i'm not trying to sell it to anyone here.

/your bitching.

[CoopKill]

I think people get upset with ads that are less than accurate trying to take advantage of ignorance to make a profit. It happens a lot on Craig's List.

I just looked at a 1st gen RT that was supposed to have 40k on a rebuild with nothing wrong with it from CL. Blown head gasket, water overflow full of oil, milkshake dripping down the front of the block.

It was a trade for my Toyota 4x4. While he was test driving his girl blindly told me everything without a clue. He got back and lied his way back home without a deal...

The fact that you misstated the original value is not that big of an offense (and really won't make a difference if not there), but it still shows intent to a certain degree.


P.S. Those that chose to come over here to this site are not necessarily "Nut Swingers" as you put it over there. Some have came over for just the very reason you are catching grief about this. :suspect:

[CoreyB]

I personally would never lie about my car just because its craigslist. Thats just morally wrong. I may not list every little detail but thats just because I wouldnt want to make the car sound worse than it is. All know issues would be disclosed prior to the sale.

[Atrosity]

:smartie:

Yeah I do agree with coreyB.It comes down to it that it is just not right and it makes you look bad.

[Alias Is Apac]

guys, ya'll are making this sound like something it is not...

the $45,000 value remark was a rounded up "guesstimate" as to how much the window sticker was, on the lot.

it is not a meticulously crafty way to screw someone over, as the last 5 pages of this thread have been trolled to make others believe.

quit making it into something it's not... i do not have the intention of screwing someone over, and i am not hiding anything in the ad...


i don't understand why we are even discussing this issue... this thread is NOT ABOUT MY AD... i caught ZERO bullshit about my ad on 3si....

i thought this site would be better... but it's clear the argumentative people migrated here as a whole...











Moderators, feel free to close this thread at anytime.

[CoreyB]

I have no problem with you bumping up the original price of the car, it means nothing. But you did point out many times that it craigslist as if that made it ok. I was just saying that people shouldnt view craigslist as an anything goes thing. There are some very shady people on craigslist no doubt.

As for your thread, I am finding few good choices to move from our platform to another. If I was to go to a different car it would be to get good performance with few things to break. And easily obtainable inexpensive parts.

So a honda?!

[CoreyB]

LOL, HELL NO. Thats not my idea of performance. I am thinking more like a Firebird Formula, late 90's V8, 6 speed.

i have a dude interested in trading his ws6 for the 3k... so very tempting, but i'm itching to get behind the wheel of an e36 so bad.

[CoreyB]

I would be all over that deal, but my car needs an engine which changes things. If my VR4 was healthy I dont think I would trade it or sell it.

[AdamVR4]

I didn't make it through the whole thread, but after seeing the first ~4 pages...

Please leave this community by buying whatever shit box you please. Thanks.

[Unknownvr4]

The only thing i would leave this platform for would be a R33 skyline. A supras interior is downright atrocious. Anything else wouldnt be worth it IMO
