Maybe a dumb post, but here goes... I just bought this 98 Spyder GS on eBay for $3,050. Beautiful, only one minor cosmetic problem and no mechanical problems.

Now, I'm pretty happy...KBB private party value is close to 6k if I remember correctly, and I ran a background check and the car is clean. Aside from the fact that this car was in PA, I see no reason why it shouldn't have gotten more bids (only 5) and unique bidders (3 including me).

What do you think? I almost **** myself when I saw that I won that car for $3,050, but was there something I'm missing that everyone else saw?

 

well 128000 miles eclipse with a patched roof seems abt right for 3050

 

Yeah...fortunately, the patch does look pretty damn small, though at first glance new tops on eBay seem to be more than I remembered. But as long as it's patched correctly and won't rip more, it will be fine for now.

 

Yeah thats not a bad deal.

On a side note, what kind of a spoiled ***** would turn away a car she was given? *slap*

 

time to play smack-a-hoe

 

Yeah, I was so surprised by that explanation that at first it made me leery of the car...I got tons of action in my old Spyder a few years ago, women love those cars. Who would turn one down? Anyway, I talked to her dad, apparently she's like 5'1" and can't see to drive it. That's believable.

 

Oh... thats a reason though.

Well, i think the price you got from KBB was for a GST spyder.. this is the GS. So the price you paid was on the low end... but maybe not as good of a deal as you once thought... but still a decent deal : )

The car should serve you well.

 

I'm getting $5,410 for 'good condition' KBB private party value on the 98 Spyder GS...only options I added were premium wheels and mp3 player.

I'm already looking at several mods on ebay, I'm gonna have fun with this one. I think it will look really great with 20% tint too.

 

I agree with the tint!

I would hit up a junk yard and get that top replaced

 

Good idea....got any ideas for nice mods to this car? I've already picked out white/glow gauges, HVAC panel, euro tail lights, and trim kit, trying to think of anything else I can do.
