That's funny, because the $33.50 that it's at right now is about what a 17 year old VW with no clutch is worth.

The shiping would cost you more than the metal, but you might make some money if you dismantle it and sell the parts.

It says you are to go to NY and drive off with it. I wonder if it really is ready to drive off LOL.

I emailed him and asked if I could have the snow with it.

BTW- It needs a clutch, so who know how far you could actually drive it.

Strange thing is that this seller has 161 positive feedbacks, so he must be a reputable buyer/seller.

So, I really don't understand how or why he/she would sell a car in a such manner.:confused:

hahah yep! I thought it would be funny and interesting to see if anyone would bid on it without being able to see it.

A joke but not really ...I will sell it to the high bidder.

This is at $127.50 with only 23 hours, 45 mins +...proves that some one will always buy it, no matter how stupid the sale is.
