1988 Firebird LO3/Auto $1,895 SOLD!!

This one followed me home today - great starter or project car for somebody.

1988 Firebird 305 cid Automatic PW/PL, A/C, Power Hatch, aftermarket custom stereo with kicker subs, amps and 10 disc changer. Interior is in immaculate condition with new carpet & headliner, outside could use paint on hood & roof - NO RUST AT ALL. Starts, runs, drives, stops, good tires & wheels, alarm that works, new exhaust and old enough that it's exempt from smog test. First $1,895 cash gets it! Send PM with phone number & I will call you back.

Thanks Dave, turns out it's got 4th gen seats - I should probably note that.

Got a bunch of calls this weekend, probably won't last long.

People are unicorn shopping - for $1,800 they expect a Ferrari.

I can't believe that you haven't sold this car 10 times over already!

Re: 1988 Firebird LO3/Auto $1,895

Thanks but I'm not on Facebook.

Some examples - guy e-mails me, has no car was wondering if I could drive the car down to him (35 miles one way) for him to check it out. If he liked it could we then bring it to his mechanic.

Another guy e-mails me his phone number & I call him back. Has a whole list of legitimate questions (no problem there) then asks if I would take $1,000 and he would pay me $100/week. He would need to be using it during that time too....

Another guy I spoke with on the phone asked me why the hood and roof would need paint and when I explained the condition became enraged and started yelling at me, I finally hung up. He called back twice before I could block his number out.

Craigslist is a wonderful place to advertise a car.

The weirdest one I got from CL on my white car was, someone who wanted me to come to his bank and help him get a loan for it. I finally had to block his email address.

Oh, and I never put my phone number on CL....

I think it is the low price Boss. That is a fantastic car for the price. at the 2K down price point the nutjobs come out of the wood work.
