How do I access where I would post my car for sale?
When I go to the cars for sale, I don't see anywhere to start a listing.
Of course I'll do that for ya! No problemo!

Hmmm.

We have a system in place which prevents people from creating "for sale" ads until they have some minimum number of posts on the forum. This was put in place many years ago, because we had a rash of new folks showing up, selling ****, and then disappearing without a trace. I can't recall what the postcount limit it, but it's fairly low. Like 10-20 posts.

Since we implemented that system, a number of folks have spammed their way up to the limit with BS, and we usually reward that sort of activity with a ban, hence the posts above this one.

It's not common that we have a member who joined ten years ago, has been lurking silently, ever since, and suddenly wants to make his very first post, after 87,000 hours of inactivity, in the classifieds.

Given your rather unusual status, I'd be inclined to look the other way if you were to go and make ten posts of genuinely funny cat pictures in the Kitten & Cat thread. That having been said, your $7k ask is hilariously inflated for a 1.6 NA, regardless of mileage, and I can guarantee you're not going to find a buyer here.

The 7k price isn't an ask. It's an actual offer. Someone bid that much. I think the seller should count their blessings and hope that the person pays up.

I deleted his dumb spam post yesterday
he's obviously too dumb to take the hint
the threshold for dumb n00bs has been met for the week, and this isn't ebay/craigslist

I would have done the same if he wasn't dumb enough to do this for the 2nd time in 2 days.
not amusing, not creative, not worthy to stay

I don't understand how someone can lurk for a decade without posting even once. I guess the odds are on him creating an account and forgetting about it.

I'm sure his car will end up selling for like 8k, which is pretty astronomical... That's BaT for ya though!

Anyway, I think the car in the OP is awesome and someone should get it and do bewsty things. It's weird how I have mini ragrets errytime I see what's basically my car in a slightly nicer trim for less monay. Oh wellz.

I seriously wish it were closer. Although I am holding out for a 2002 NB2, it would be hard to overlook such a deal in the NE.

You should just get it lol. You can always get a VVT head later if you want that. The NB1 intake manifold is better anyway and folks still pay a decent amount for the NB1 head so you'd likely break even.

Unfortunately it's the exterior that I'm not very fond of. I know it can be easily replaced but I'm patiently waiting for the Ti 02 SE. Long story short, I'm looking to purchase a car that I already had - lol.
