Let me get a friend over here...he actually lives in the trunk of your car.

Rick has never gave a offer you can't resist...he gives a offer you reluctantly take and regret for the rest of your life

"ive had the car a year, im looking to move on to the next bucketlist item" translates to "ive had this car a year and things are starting to break, i dont know how to fix anything so its time to get rid of it"

women cant build or fix anything they expect men to do it for them and still have equal pay

[@burtburt2263]

The "patriarchy", is trying to "oppress" me with a "pink tax" on my junk car, and they should give me whatever I want, just for being in my presence...Rick: "The car would cost twice what you are asking, to get it in sellable condition." It's called REALITY lady!!

[@mewgiah8057]

Vegas is actually a really small area, so him living pretty close might not be that far fetched. But the thing is, everything on this show is set up by appointment. They arent going to have a live camera crew just standing around, while Rick randomly meets a person for a deal - and then sit there for 40 min while his expert arrives. I mean, what if Rick calls his expert, and they are busy. What if there is traffic? Do all those people just sit there and wait? The answer is NO! There have been numerous people that have worked on the show on the crew side of things. And the actual sellers/ the bargaining sections are 100% real. They aren’t scripted. And they dont do cuts while filming, except when they get the expert on. Which they then resume. But people seem to think that means all of this is fake. No. The actual sale part is real. But they have to plan it out. This means people “apply” for the show. They apply to sell their goods on the show. And the store decides which sellers would make for a good segment on the show. Which items, are worth being filmed. So of course they have to set up an appointment with these people. Doesnt mean its fake. Just means that its planned, and edited. Thats to be expected.

[@mr.bannana9048]

Some of it isn't scripted some of it is I should know cuz I met Rick at his pawn shop when I visited there he was with a customer and there wasn't any cameras and so was chum I did see rebecca she's hotter in person

[@fasteddylove-muffin6415]

@@mewgiah8057 I can understand how they would do this when they are leaving the store--how they would know which of their experts they would need to call in but I'm doubting it works this way for people that come into the store. Which isn't all that bad in that they could shot around it--move on to other segments/scenes while the expert is called in & gets to the store.

[@ianharwick4628]

I Am Yeti how does that make any of it scripted ?? You think the filming crew is around 24/7 lmao??

[@greykaufman1057]

I owned one of these, a 1978 model for 3 years. Yes, they are temperamental, somewhat underpowered but all the same fun to drive and if you are mechanically inclined not too hard to find parts for and easy to work on. The motor itself is reliable, keep the oil changed, ensure the alternator is charging and the radiator filled. Other than keeping a close eye on them, these cars are are simple to maintain and deliver good gas mileage. My ex wife sold the car out from under me when I was out, came back and saw the car was missing! didn't even get the $ she got for it, she just wanted the thing gone so she could park her car there! wound up losing her too the next year! I think the car was the keeper, while the woman just got recycled onto a "friend".

[@UTCM]

I had a 74 with over drive air-conditioning and a hard top ... Spent more time replacing axle joints than driving it . It was also prone to drop the number 3 cylinder . Which happened to me one night 3 oclock in the morning in the middle of the everglades ...... Theres a reason they dont make them anymore .

[@nonyadamnbusiness9887]

@@UTCM The only reason they stopped making them was failure to meet US safety standards.

[@Dave-sw2dm]

I paid $2000 for a 1974 Spitfire in 1978. It got totaled a year later and the insurance gave me $2500.

[@andrewfyakim525]

The Triumph Spitfire, is to me the best looking sports car ever! (I like the Jag XKE too)... My brother-in-law has three Spitfire 1500's. He keeps one running, and uses the other two for parts, just to keep 'the one' running... I love it! Nothing sounds as good, or looks as good as a Spitfire... Not even my wife's 2002 Miata; but that is a close second!

[@Marshallkhamou]

She has it on Craigslist Las Vegas for 7k

[@kzero1499]

The car was on Pawnstars, demand just skyrocketed you all saw it!!

[@johnwilburn]

She wanted 6,000, found out it was 3,500-4,000 retail, so asks 7,000... makes sense. Perhaps being on a TV show was a bucket list item too. Considering what they all really wanted, they all won.

[@scottiusmaximus4298]

+Joseph Khamou I have an expert on Craigslist. Let me get him down here...

[@tonunknown1]

Might be worth 7 grand if it was actually in good shape...

[@Supervillain725]

You can ask for whatever price you want, it doesn't mean you'll get it.

I have one myself. Funnest thing i've ever driven.

[@Breakbeats92.5]

Hats off to Rick. He knew that his offer was going to be so low that it would been insulting.

[@thesrtsuperb8e627]

Being an old car enthusiast with multiple car restoration projects currently there's no way I would even give her 6000. Maybe 3500 because the exterior is in rough shape and I wouldn't call it "good condition"

[@jh565bb]

Future 75th True I have a 1973 spitfire, the English market one. I paid around £6000 for it, unlike this one though, the bodywork is good. that car has clearly had a few prangs in its life. Something like this should be worth three to four thousand in its current condition.

I would suggest to keep it running as is. You never worry about scratches or anything. You just enjoy it.

74 was the worst year for any car. emission control just started and motors would be junk at 50,000 miles.folks drop a 289 V8 in the older spitfires and they are tons of drivable fun.They also came with a electric over drive button on the shifter that was cool

[@nonyadamnbusiness9887]

First of all, that's not a Mk IV, it's a 1500. I would suggest he call somebody who knows what he's talking about. Having owned one from 1985 to 1990, I can tell you, any drive you don't walk back from is a good drive in a Spitfire.

[@markw208]

Exactly. A “Mark IV” has a “Mark IV” emblem, a “1500” says “1500”. Jeesh 🤦‍♂️

From the looks of Rick he might wanna shop around for a couple kidneys and a liver.

[@BSAMachinehead]

It's nice to see these cars getting some recognition, I've had my '67 since new, but they were not terribly well made. Nice for entry level British collectible, but the MGB is far superior.

[@MrChonkers]

Obviously this was done for 3 reasons: 1. they can make a 4 minute segment for the Pawn Star show, and 2. she can get some popularity for this car (so that the lady can actually sell it), or 3. being on TV was on her bucket list.
