Would You Buy This Car...

Stag · 04-14-2004, 09:30 PM

Okay, here is the deal...I have been shopping around for an old car to drive for the summer, fix up and basically have some fun with. The first one I lost out on was this one:

Catalina

Now I am looking at this. the only problem is that it is based in Vancouver so i would have to drive or ship it back. Take a look:

Firebird

Also, looking at this...

LeMans

What do you think?

Personally I like the Firebird. I'd definitely take it over the Lemans. Of course, both of them are nicer than the Sunfore I'm driving now...

Though I've never heard of nor seen theese cars before, I'd go with the Firebird. Looks so fucking cool. Worth the extra hassle.

Firebird is my choice! Always liked those cars...

So my question is this and it is directed to the resident Candians on the board -- Do you have any idea what sort of Customs issues I may have to deal with in buying it in Canada and bringing it across the border?

Cymro · 04-15-2004, 04:47 PM

The guy said the shipping is free.

Stag · 04-15-2004, 04:59 PM

He has now dropped the price but will not pay for shipping
