The problem with being out here in the southwest is that there's never any rust on cars, so even beat up Fieros or other cars I'm interested in have pretty stiff prices.
Couple of years ago I saw a 1st gen Eagle Talon with the pop-up headlights, beat up, but it still had the original, unmodded engine. Muhfucka wanted $4000 for that shit. Beat to shit '87 Supra Turbo, raggedy seats, faded paint, dirty as hell, but the engine and trans were in good shape was hittin for a bit north of $3000. Same car in Detroit prolly woulda been $500.
But them sometimes you find a gem. Some nigga had a purple, kitted up, Mercedes CLK 55 AMG going for $2000, and the price kept dropping until it finally sold at $1300. Nothing wrong with it mechanically and the interior was clean, it was just ugly as fuck from the color and kit.
