Too bad the video doesn't show more of the car. Just shows it runs & drives, to bad it doesn't get into the details. The more I see 5 speed cars, the more I want one..... Every 3rd gen I have ever owned was a automatic.

 

Don parts out better cars than they sell at that place.

 

The fact that it's a 5 speed is what makes it cool.

 

This one is a bit rough around the edges, no question.

 

They also have this 5 speed 1989 Formula.

At least the dealer is honest that the car is rusty. Sucks about that sunroof, I like the car being a stripped down 5 speed otherwise

 

Would be kind of nice.

 

Extreme Undercarriage Rust On That Baby,Under Dash Wiring Has Been Butchered.

 

They certainly provide ample pictures.

 

Would be fun changing the fuel pump with all that corroded suspension.

 

Use the blue tipped wrench to take out those bolts.

 

I wouldn't call that extreme rust. Certainly not for a serious collector tho.

 

Def a smoke wrench vehicle for changing the fuel pump.

 

"Go ahead and upload them all!"

 

That rust ain't so bad, some parts of the country are just a bit more spoiled than others.. Tho I do prefer, the southern and western style rust..

 

For a third gen, that's rusty even for here!

 

This looks like a good example of where that dealer undercoating should have been purchased.

 

Not bad rust? The floor pan on side has already lost an entire "layer". This car is a mess underneath.

 

I've seen worse get saved. It's definitely a good car for someone, but not me lol.

 

Not me LOL...too funny.

 

You must be new to the car hobby! Nothing wrong with that.

 

Over $1600 and the reserve still isn't met. I wonder what the seller thinks a rusty, hacked base iroc is worth?

 

Oh, I think it's worth a good bit more than $1600. People are buying parts cars for nearly that.

 

If it was a g92 or something special I would agree but an average mileage, rusty, needing a roof( sunroof is very bad IMO) base iroc I don't see it. It'll be interesting g to see, I'd say they want over 3k since they have a formula with ripped up seats and paint issues listed for 8 or 9k

 

I agree. The only thing it's really got going for it is that it's a stick. If I had unlimited space, I'd pay $2500 or so for it.

 

2001 $ and unsold...,

 

Still needs saving and relisted.

 

Relisted again!

 

That car has been on eBay for a year. I put an offer in today because I somehow feel sorry for it. Thank heaven they didn't accept it!

 

Someone just needs to man up and crush that POS. No heat shield between the exhaust and fuel tank, and compression fittings on the fuel lines? Forget that.

 

I offered $1750. I drove home from work worrying they'd accept it. I was relieved when they countered with $5,499.

 

$5,499???? Whoa. Hopefully someday for the rest of us. Because if it sells for that most nice cars will be going for $20k +

 

I just laughed out-loud at that comment - only because I've been there and know the feeling. LOL

Last year I drove 4 hours out into PA to look at a car that was somewhat misrepresented in it's on-line ad & I was sick as a dog! Dragged my trailer out there in the slush with cash in an envelope ready to buy it at the price he had posted. I was unhappy and a little angry when I saw it and certainly did not feel up to laying in the slush in his driveway strapping it onto my trailer so I low balled him....really low. He said no, I thanked him & left relieved until he called me 5 minutes later and said he would take it. I told him I was already on the highway heading home. Whew!

 

That car is only slightly better then the last Iroc I parted out. And $5K is a insane price. Hell I think 1K is to high. But if I recall they do a ton of consignment sales so the owner/seller must have a high price before the place tacks on their fee.

The one I parted had rot in the floors, firewall, rockers, A & B pillars, quarters, trunk. Enough that the car bent when I put blocks under it to remove the diff. Yup I did that removal with a torch without getting under the car.
