Sprite with 1.8 Miata motor in it...nice
#2
The guy is out of his ******* mind, if he thinks that is worth $10,000. P.O.S.
I might be tempted to buy it for $1K or 1.2K - You would have to go through the whole thing to find out what all is fucked up with it...

Funny aside: my gf asked me the other day out of the blue (and she didn't really know because I haven't ever discussed it) if I had spent more money fixing up my miata than I paid for it (I bought it new--which she did know).
I told her I'd honestly have to sit down and calculate it because chances are it's at least close to that number. She didn't flinch.

It is still a shitbox though, that car is rough. I'd like to have one as a toy someday, but I would not pay $10K for a shitbox that needs a massive rebuild as soon as you get her home.

Did you hear about the Lucas three-position switch? Off, dim, and flicker.
Why do the British drink warm beer? Lucas refrigerators.
Lucas, inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
Lucas, inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.
Lucas ignitions: the original anti-theft device.
Did you ever use a Lucas vacuum cleaner? It didn't suck.
etc.

RPM's are 4300 with the engine off - Just think how fast it goes with the engine on. And what happened to the trunk?

A sprite is a beautiful car, as are most sporting british cars, but they are just too unreliable to do anything useful with. But someday I will own an all-original mini cooper.....anyone who's been in one will tell you that its the closest thing to a go-kart you will find on-road, classic and new Loti included.

You are paying a premium for someone elses project that is not near completion, it just doesn't make sense, kind of like buying a half-assed boosted Miata. Only god knows what all you will have to change out after you buy it.

I'd rather buy this and swap a 1.6 miata engine in.

A platform that is in much better shape than the sprite
Plus, you would save yourself around 16,000 Bones
