shopping for a car

so there are several sites for used cars besides mercado libre. i wanted a 1976-84 renault r5[mexican name mirage] so i googled that and specifically jalisco. then on each site i narrowed it down to guadalajara  and area.

I don't see the windup key?

Enjoy your new wheels.

Any solution to recovering costs from the accident??

Did you get it in a crackerjack box?

i call it a drunken crash not an accident and spencer is working us through the ministerio publico process because the pinche baracho refuses to pay, didn't have insurance either.

Cute car Pedro....jaja. Seems a little pricey for a 35 year old Renault though. Does it have some sort of collectability status in Mexico?

yup este classico and there are a bunch in the renault clubs. it has a carb and no effen computer. this one has a 1300cc engine.

Any car over 25 years old is called a "classico" as is my 1987 Vocho however that doesn't make it a collectible. Are parts readily available for this? Like at AutoZone and ORMA?

probably not but there are 2 renault dealers in guadalajara. the alternator and carb are off a vocho.in the car world actually something over 25 years is classified as antique. from what i've seen so far from the main renault club-they are all clasico/antiques. when i was looking for one there were about 60 for sale in mexico and the majority were in good condition. the most expensive were in mercado libre. i think they've become very popular because they resemble the mini and the fiat 500.

Yvonne must love that it matches your house

this matched it better.

We drove past your place an hour or two ago and it looks even better in person !
