I keep track of Capris on Craigs list, and seems no sales at all in the past few months... some nice, some dogs, a xr2 waiting rebuild, tonneau models, just no one is buying... which sucks cause I wanted to put the 94 automatic in my front yard up for sale, so maybe I'll use it as a trade-in...

So, lower gas causing folks not to guy gas sippers, or the word is out that maintenance can be challenging, or???

I bought a capri from Florida in January.. Had to drive 650 miles to get it, too!

But, I found my needle in a haystack and I really needed one, lol!

Was that the black one in Deltona?

nope, red xr2 in Sarasota.

Sadly, I emailed 11 people within 700 miles in December that had current ads, they were the ONLY one that responded. turns out was the best car for me, anyways, so I'm really glad I got it from them.

Matches my car perfectly, so I won't lose out on all the thousands of dollars of new parts I put on it (alternator, battery, cat, muffler, front axles, calipers, rotors, tires, etc. Plus, I can move over my hardtop without it looking stupid (wrong color). AND it had 100k less miles on it than mine did, plus NO rust. I couldn't believe my luck! I'm probably the 4th owner. A guy from Ohio bought it at a dealer, did $1k worth of 'tune up stuff' at a shop (fuel system flush, fluids, alignment, belts, filler neck repair, tires, etc). It must have been his Florida winter home car... He had it 2 years, drove it 700 miles, then died. They bought it, put 20k on it and a new rear strut. Now it's mine, all mine!
