finding a jewel in a city

madera · #1 01-30-2009, 08:15 PM

back home we cruise around looking for a good or classic car sitting in a driveway maybe with a for sale sign and maybe you knock.. i have always wanted a cressida dx diesel. they were mostly exported from the states to d.r. salvador honduras etc.. a beautiful house high up w/ a garage full. driveway taken up by the diesel and only 80kmiles...started right up... (owner was there) and inside a lengend car.. unmolested suzuki samari yeii... stick shift convert. talk about luck... clean economical people from the west love that car... and another car covered was a 87 88 89 toyota supra. he said race car and i like fast... the only thing (bad) is , they dont want to play around with people coming and going. and want to sell all three as pkge. man i close my eyes and dream of having an underground garage in my mountain home so i can drive in. im trying to decide which one . love the suz but too slow... have to look at the supra... and the diesel is clean and fits 5 adults comfortably... 9 dominicans... finding a pile of jewels...

do you need a car?

No, but that is good information and that Toyota is/ was a great, comfortable ride...it might be worth it to explore the possibilities...

the question remains, are these vehicles in the DR??

as far as i know the price seems to be fair price at 100Kd.p. or d.p. and in the states a car of such condition would probably fetch at auction 2300-2600 $depending . but it wood sell high. one of a kind. clean diesel economical. needs tires but you dont buy a car because it has new tires... i myself want to photo it and find out more about the fast car. the supra... any info on this puppy. the samari is worth more than 100k because it is a classic and convert. stick shift 4x4 and economical...to bad when i do the photos ill try to post them...
