    it's only gonna collect dust, at that price. It's a $500 car, less $499 for that awful paint.

    If it were cheaper that would be a pretty epic BABE car.

    I'd consider it if it was MLP instead of Strawberry Shortcake.

    No AC and heated seats,,,in Bradenton, Fl??? Wonder where the car really came from>

    It's really irritating when people are too lazy to pull the car out of the garage to shoot the pictures. Not that it would make this one any better. If you have a crappy car, shooting it in the garage doesn't make it look any better.

    If she would sell it for $500 or so I'd take it to Lemons just like it sits.

    If there are people that collect air sick bags, beer cans, old X-Rays and such, maybe there's something to this Holly Hobby.

    I like:

    My parents and I have performed optimal upkeep of this special car... -but-

    There is no A/C,

    The back Left door doesn't open,

    the roof is drooping a little and there is a missing seatbelt in the back left.

    There is a VERY VERY small gap where the drivers' side window should meet the top of the door

    It sounds excellent.

    How exactly does a seat belt go missing?

  • integraguy

    A seat belt CAN "go missing" when the rear seat cushion is lifted/removed ....for whatever reason, and the belts are carelessly left to shift to the floor / under the re-positioned seat cushion. At least that's how it's happened in my cars.

    It should last for a long time"....as long as it stays locally".

    YIKES, in other words, if it stays in MY garage, it will run nearly forever?

    I guess you can claim anything is a collectible...if you are (strange enough?) to collect it.

    It "brings smiles to all who see it". I think those SMILES are the beginnings of belly laughs that ANYONE would DARE drive this car in public....without a bag over their head.

    WHAT??? No Hello Kitty interior?? And I thought I finally found The One car of my life. I'd wrap it in a blue tarp and cut holes where the glass is before I'd drive it in public. Even just to buy it for parts. The owner's daughter is going to have isssues....

    Yeah, wow. One of a kind. Lucky for us. Odds are pretty good I'll never have to look at that thing.

    I put in a bid, but it turns out mine is not a "a good, deserving home!" so my bid was rejected.....

    Not really. It is one of a kind though, that part is right and as a plus it is under 350k miles!

    that's what i thought- it already has a beautiful LeMons paint job. but i don't think i'd want to wear the proper costume to complete the theme..

    That paint will only work if you can smell strawberries from a quarter mile away.
