Cars in Portland, OR area Craigslist

Post by MrMazda92 »

I think this is the right place to post this, but I was checking craigslist as I often do for Mx-3 gems... I found 1 that looks amazingly maintained, and was wondering if the owner is on the forums?

Here's the link:

http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/1705637126.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I wish I had the money... if I did I'd gladly go and take a look at it. Maybe 1 of you guys will be able to? Good luck.

Yeah, that car is really nice.
However, if I had $5,000...... *Daydreaming*

I would wait a month, or so, and see if he still has it, and make an offer. No one is going to buy it for $5K.

Laguna blue. When I first wanted a MX3 wayyy back when I wanted that color.. Only made in 92-93. The 94+ ones are creek mica blue, the dark purple/blue color which is a sharp color.

I drove a Laguna SE here in Vancouver a few years back before I bought my second black car.. Never bought it though

I would pay $5,000 for an MX-3 if it had everything done to it that mine does, and it ran as good. If I didn't buy all of my parts used, I'd have well over $10K into it.

Mine did surprisingly well in the snow. I passed alot of cars, and felt pretty safe. I even did some dumb stuff to scare Sarah. It handled very predictably. Of course, I went into a big parking lot to push the boundaries. I was impressed. I think the ZRi tires helped.
Dd you have the Whiteline swaybar on?

I haven't driven mine in the snow yet, but I've driven it on a road buried 3 inches thick with hail... that was a weird day.

I watched an older woman in her prius trying to pass all the 4 wheel drive trucks on that road.

I was with the trucks, driving slow and hoping for the best... the intellectually challenged woman in the prius slid off the road and sure enough, someone with a much bigger car and way more sense stopped to help her. She was climbing a hill and trying to pass other people in that mess... I can't understand how someone can honestly be that lacking in common sense.
