I was at the junk yard this week and just as I was getting ready to leave and this guy pulls up in this little yellow car on the scales, and as he pulls in the gate I ask if he's junking the car? "yes I need money he says", I told him at the current prices he was only going to get about $250 for it, I turned to the guy running the yard and asked if I could deal with the owner of the car to buy it, he said "go for it", I turned back and offered $300 cash, he said it's yours, handed me the title and was on his way, I found out the junk yard would have only paid $238 for it scrap, the guy bought it in sept.this year 2011 and paid $1450 for it, I don't understand people, anyway I was looking for a car for my 16 year old Daughter, her dream car is a Yellow Cobalt SS but no way can I afford that for her, well needless to say she is pretty happy with this one for a first car, now she has to learn to drive a stick shift, I drove it home and it's pretty quick, not sure she needs this as a first car but we will see, it's a 98 Cavalier Z24 with a quad 4 twin cam/ 5 speed, has a chip in the computer, header, cold air intake, lowering kit with springs, 17" wheels, short throw shifter, and lots of other add ons, it needs exh. work it's loud and dragging the ground, has a check eng. light on but runs well so it's probably minor, one rim is bent and shakes at road speeds above 50mph, but not bad, even the after market CD stereo is nice, remote start with alarm, only real rust is on the hood I'll find a used hood and probably just paint it satin black, it's been painted and the clear is peeling but hey what do you want for $300 now days, here it is dirty needs a bath and the inside cleaned, it's been to cold to mess with it much.
