Gold CSVT Champcar

Buy a car for less than $5000 and try and sell it for $8500. No wonder hes had these vehicles for 3 years.

he got them for less than $5k?!??! he got them at a steal! and nothing wrong with making a buck off it. im surprised nobody here has bought it for $8k. a one of a kind, CLEAN, low mileage csvt for $8k? people pay near that much for cars with a 3L and 80k on the clock. (and when i say "near" i mean like $6k or so..). id pay $8k for this car before i would for the saleen car (not thats a bad car at all, i just like this one).
 
So you can transpond to a co driver or ppl on walkies around the track.

I understand. When I think of a transponder I think of it's use in aviation. I didn't know they were used in race cars. I also didn't realize the word "transponder" was short for "Transmitter-responder".

Rara may have the official prices he paid. I think he posted them a while back. I think the other 2 he paid in the $4K range.

I would rather pay $8K for a low mileage stock SVT but thats just me.
 
Are they really going for 8k with low mileage? If so, I guess my car selling for $10k 5 years ago didn't seem like such a steal then:shrug:

Jim, I hope you never sell that green CSVT....well unless I come into some money and then I'd expect you to sell that to me:cool:

I'm not planning on selling it for a long time. As long as it keeps on running, I'm going to keep on driving it. It's got 165K on it now. I'd be happy to get 300K out of it.
 
Holy crap Jim you have been driving the hell out of that car. I remember you bought it with 102k

Yup. 50 miles round trip every day to and from work. I travel a lot on the weekends since my fiance lives an hour and half away and my parents and brother are 3.5 hours away.
