He could've posted that car for sale for $500 and it would've sat there for months with every other response in his thread as "save 'em, don't crush 'em" blah blah blah. Who cares? I think a rust free roller is certianly worth 500, and i think a lot of other people would agree. But some people think there sitting on gold with these cars... LOL i laugh when i see people asking 2000 for a rusty car that dosent run and then get mad that no one wants their junk... That car looked much better than many out here on the east coast.

"Restore 'em, don't crush 'em." Everyone talks all this sheeeeeat, but nobody steps the frak up an does anything about it. So I say again. Who cares?

This happens to be a site for broke car enthusiasts, it is not a supra forum. People might not be able to save cars, but we can try and convince others to do so. There's nothing wrong with that. If a car sits for a long time, lower the price, that's the seller's fault. Either that or advertise in more than one place, duh! Spoken Truth. Someone deleted my hilarious comment here.

Either that or advertise in more than one place, duh! Having been involved with SQ forums for about a decade, I think i'd know all about that. It's not the forum that's broke, it's simply just the class of car that lures broke people due to its minimal cost. Some stick with it and over time drop ten times what the car is worth into it, others play the game for a bit and either break it or lose interest. Either way, who gives two flyin craps about what they decide to do with their property? Would you have bought it? Everyone says yes, but it simply doesn't happen with any frequency. The only reason anyone here cares is because of the type of car it was. If I didn't give a crap about a car for whatever reason, why would I devalue what I could put in my pocket to appease people on the internet? I'd part it out as far as possible and crush it.

I've restored 3 of my own that were originally non-running when purchased. Not to mention having helped others on several occasions. There's alot of people who have dedicated some serious time and money trying to keep these on the road and to see another "car guy" send a restorable car to the crusher is ridiculous to me. You would think someone who was into Dodge Omni's (of all the cars in the world) would realize this.... I can guarantee they would be up in arms if we were posting pic.s showing how we sent one of their gaudy turbo chevettes to the junker. He said he tried to find a home for it.... I've run into so damn many people trying to sell broke-down cars for around $1000. When it doesn't sell, they turn around and send it to the junker for what? $100 max? Instead of dropping their price. We shouldn't be angry with this guy tho.... He's ignorant. His 73 Challenger is worth 10 times what his "house" is. That shows his level of intelligence. No sense crying over spilt milk. At least it was a red one - lol. We can only hope it was also an auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's "who cares?" I've also spent hundreds of hours(if not more) helping those who: 1. Have the desire to fix their cars. If someone doesn't want to fix it, who am I to get all up in arms about it? That's the point. The guy didn't care about his car, so I don't care either. I'm not going to plead with someone over their decision to do whatever they want with their property, no matter how rediculous their decision strikes me.

Busted88 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 all the cars you have in your list are way better than the quest will ever be.i would drive the hell out of the cordoba. all those cars are way cooler than our quest hate to break that to ya's.i would take any of those cars over the quest any day.that's all byeee,good day. Let me guess, you can't figure your Quest out... Can't get her running because it's too complicated for you.... So, yeah, you should probably join your backwoods brethren. Junk it and buy a Cordoba (if they haven't all rattled themselves into a million pieces by now). It's a good thing that most of those old Dodges ARE idiot-proof, so you guys should do OK.

Shouldn't feed the trolls....but.... I'm about as big of a mopar guy as they come, and in no way should liking mopars and appreciating starquests be mutually exclusive. Perhaps if people had been a little more concerned about preserving mopars from the 60-70's they'd still be common enough to be affordable, but that's not how it works. Enthusiast cars that are cheap attract people who aren't always the preserve and collect type, obviously. Starquest aren't about to rise in value like e-body's have over the last decade, so I don't expect to be seeing it be profitable to resurrect cars beyond there prime. The only way a Starion or Conquest gets restored is if it is picked up by somebody with an strong interest/emotional attachment or if it's a really easy fix that can be repaired profitably. Interesting side note, why would you "take any of those cars over the quest any day."? Is it their monetary value, the "cool" factor (although the Cordoba seems to rule this out), or the driving experience? The monetary value is surely a plus, but driving it WILL decrease this, especially for a car of originality or fresh, correct restoration. Besides depreciation, enjoying a car because of it's impressive value doesn't make much sense. The cool factor is undeniable, especially in a desirable car like a 70-71 Challenger...but this novelty will wear off after the 5xx person ask's if it's"got a HEMI?" and tells you about their dad's friend's brother who's car would blow it off the road. The only thing left is the driving experience, which is great until you realize suspension and braking technology really did improve greatly between 1970 and 1989. Also 12mpg gets old. But the thing is, we don't like cars for logical reasons and deduced conclusions...cars are enjoyed on an emotional level. With the prices on most desirable mopars, muscle cars, ect., many cannot afford to buy a 70 challenger, or whatever gets them off. Because of the price, car enthusiasts are able to afford and tweak SQ's to their liking without breaking the bank or depreciating the value of a car they spend $50k on. Modifying a car and making it what you wanted it to be will lead to a much greater attachment and enjoyment of a car. I have a 73 Challenger that was started as a father son project when I was 11....we finished it when I was 18. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING besides the machining of the block was done by my dad and I. Anything I was competent to be shown how to do, I did....including tons of wet sanding, crimping seat skins in place (my hands are still sore to this day), welding in the 4spd hump, painting the undercarriage, even helping port a set of aluminum heads that had been out of production for decades. What I'm saying is that I poured tons of myself into that car. That being said, I also bought an '89 Conquest when I was 15 a invested alot of time and effort into making it look better, run stronger, and handle more confidently. When it comes down to it, both are fun cars to drive....the challenger is more of any ego-boosting stick-you-in-the-back-of-the-seat-and-enjoy-the-exhaust-note-while-attracting-tons-of-looks-and-attention thing, while the Conquest is more of an all around I-can't-believe-this-car-with-so-little-money-and-time-invested-can-be-so-great-to-drive sort of fun. But if put in the position of only having to drive one of them everyday? I'll just say the SQ would be much more livable. In case you're doubting my mopar credentials, here's a pic of me/my 73 at the Carlisle '08 awards ceremony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Whoa were did this troll come from? my quest is the biggest piece of crap i have ever owned.every other day something is breaking on it Yea, its the car's fault Its called preventative maintenance. You probably drive the crap out of it, don't maintain it, and when something breaks you blame the car. turbo's are really for diesels HAHA! really? what about the guys with a twin turbo setup on their v-8 muscle cars? you can buy everything to make the old cars (including ford and chevy)out handle,out brake,out do anything that our quests can do You mean buy everything to make the old car handle and brake as good as a STOCK quest? sure, i would agree with that. and because my quest breaks down every other day IS because i'm a piss poor mechanic fixed quest is ok for everyday use but its not going to be a muscle car way to state the obvious genious. and if its breaking down everday then how is it ok for everyday use? .i am not a expert one quest but everyone on this site seem to be a expert at everything and has to get their comment in even when they have no clue what they are talking about.

I said Troll, not douche. Secondly, you starting bringing the heat, not me. The fact that your quest has only 31k on it and has sat in garage most of its life is probably why it keeps having issues.

Umm you came on with this comment before anyone called you any name why don't you ricers learn about your mopars and read a book I have never in my life seen a riced out quest, nor any quest owners who would even remotely qualify for the term 'ricer'.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 The only threads you've been involved in is one about tires, and one you started to ask how much MPI is. Even though you should research for your own, you were still given proper answers. What is your problem exactly? Don't like the car? Sell it and be gone. Like a child, you assume too much. "People rag on V8's".. Yeah, some people do. "People rag on musclecars".. Yep, it happens. So, you see the "Mustangs suck" thread, and all of a sudden "SQ enthusiasts hate V8's and musclecars." It's a freaking car. Who cares? Jesus... Don't like the forums for your own made up reasons, then leave. You contribute nothing here and cry about imaginary problems that don't exist.
