Re: unbelievable deal
dang...im scared to ask how much you paid for it since ive seen sealed in box versions just like yours go for 1-2k to the right buyers. nice find...always gonna have that delema open or keep sealed an original freshy.
do you think its a bad twilight zone episode for team associated to be re producing a buggy from yesteryear that is capable of beating their latest and greatest production buggy?

Re: unbelievable deal
There hasn't been any sealed cars that have sold for those prices in 3 years or so, there are people that list them for that however...GoldRush wrote:dang...im scared to ask how much you paid for it since ive seen sealed in box versions just like yours go for 1-2k to the right buyers. nice find...always gonna have that delema open or keep sealed an original freshy.

Re: unbelievable deal
I don't plan on selling the thing any time soon so i don't suppose it will matter if i let it slip how much i paid since i know what it's worth. So here it goes.... he wanted $150 for the car, radio, charger and some other odds and ends. All nib sealed. Lets just say i paid less than half that.

Re: unbelievable deal
That's a nice score my guess was 100. You did even better. I'm a mailman and I'm all over the place different towns and routes. I always look at the garage sales and man it's always way expensive go. Buy it new prices or just crap that should have been thrown away years ago. I second the garage filled with bad words. But good score better than being in a landfill or at goodwill.
