Title: 14k suzuki
Post by: davipu on December 06, 2007, 11:28:19 AM
14.5k for a sammi  seriously, i don't know what these go for in the rest of the country but around here they are 2000 for a decent one and 4000 for a really good one.

I had one of those when I was about 6.  Mine was painted yellow and had a "TONKA" tag on the front.

I think mom paid about $20 for it.

An example of the greater fool theory in action.   :laugh:

What a ridiculous car, or rather 4x4. To quote Fast and the Furious, it looks like it came from a cereal box.

How does he expect to sell it when his advert requires you to turn up to just VIEW it with the entire cost of the vehicle in cash. I think people will more than likely think hes going to rob them out back in his garage.

To me that sounds like a guy thats trying to rob you in his garage.    that 4x4 looks like a mini yuppie  H2 to me.  if it had normal looking rims on it, I'd be into that, but yeah.

Guess he forgot that aftermarket upgrades doesn't necessarily triple your cars value. I think it looks kinda cool, in a joke kind of way- like a 4x4 clown car  :laugh:

I love Suzuki Samuris! It's hard to find them in good shape. Yeah, even with all the mods that thing shouldn't be anymore than like 8k. That guy is retarded if he thinks he can get 14.5k for it.

This is in a fight with the video of a guy that cut a powercord from a lamp into and placed one end in his pants and the other in a socket as being the stupidest thing I have ever seen. :cookoo:

That is one of the most hideous creations I have ever seen!  And believe me there are some bad ones around here!

They may look ugly...but man oh man are they competent little buggers...Drove one out in the desert (mostly stock, just some more aggressive tires) and it did amazingly well.

I think they are cool when they are built for off road.  But that one with huge chrome wheels is just stupid!  This is much better!

There's enough beer there that we know they tried it again.  Funny....  There's no video of the second go-round.   :laugh:
