Blame the university administrators for charging high prices for things students don't need. Like classes that will not get you anywhere in life and lead you in huge amounts of debt. Best advice for college is to not go unless your career your going into needs a certain degree for you to get a job in.

Corvairs are great cars! Glad she held out and didn't take their lowball offer. If that is actually a Monza coupe like it appears, those are the rarer '60 models! I absolutely love my Corvairs! I have early models, late models and forward controls! Plus the powerglides are virtually bulletproof! Most likely low on fluid or needs a new shift modulator.

[@josephgood2704]

Dude, I fully support your love of Corvairs and your collection because it makes you happy. But i'm sure there's stuff I'm interested in like sports memorabilia or early computers you wouldn't be as interested or have the critiques. Since this is a business that has to sell something they gave a pretty darn fair offer. It's not cheap to house a car til you find the right collector.

[@B.Launders]

The only way she’d get the price she was seeking was if the car got totaled (hence Corey’s remark during negotiating). No way someone pays that with the issues noted.

[@shonchon588]

Corey: “I’m gonna offer you $3000 because it’s going to cost me money to sell it, I have to take it to the car wash!”

[@HNemo880]

A bit of a hyperbole but OK. Corvairs are basically a bug, buy it for 3-5 k, put 5k in, then sell it for 10k

[@KionTheLion]

There's an exhaust leak according too Rick, things need to be updated for it probably; they have to take it to a repair shop and have it done, that's going to cost them money.

[@redtra236]

@@KionTheLion Its rear engine.... how is he gonna smell an exhaust leak unlike front engine cars no part of the exhaust runs under the cab

[@PiepsiPanic]

"Bad transmission and sloppy steering." What did they expect? It's a 50 years old oldtimer - but it's still a quite collectable one in decent shape! $3000 is way too low imho, she did the right thing.

[@ThMnWthNNm]

Well, it’s also a Corvair. Corvairs don’t have the best reputation when it comes to structural integrity, especially when it comes to steering. And that’s not taking into account the obviously horrendous lack of safety features, which as said in the video was the inspiration for much stricter safety standards in all cars that came after the Corvair.

[@joshuaramirez6121]

Plus the body looked great, didn't look like it had any rust, and it looked straight. Very solid considering its age

[@playerpage]

@@ThMnWthNNm Where are you getting the structural integrity nonsense? They were/are solid cars. If you let them rust, that's one thing, but they're 60 year old cars. I've seen 30-year old cars with more rust than a lot of Corvairs.

[@1967davethewave]

@@Len1977gt That's like saying McDonalds rips people off because they have about .32 cents in a large Coke but sell it for a dollar. No one is forcing anyone to sell their stuff to the pawn shop. Most of the time they have an expert who gives the retail value and then Rick comes back and offers them 50% less. A normal person would say, "No thanks, I want to get retail price" and then go sell it to a retail buyer. But Rick is a wholesale buyer and he will sell it at retail. That's the way the world works and if you don't understand that then I am sure you are an employee and not an employer.

my dad has raced many vehicles. he is 87 years old and still drag races. he says he used to race these in the 8th of a mile they did it to have fun. he said you could change out the motor in these cars and literally minutes there's only one bolt that held the motor to the frame which made it ideal. they actually kind of did it to have something to do in between the other drag races when they were racing the big boys.

[@martincolvill5453]

First: steering sloppy because too much air in front tires. Second: exhaust leak needs new donuts. Third: transmission is an easy fix. Most were Saginaw and easily rebuilt. Or new cable needed. How do I know? I've owned 16 and currently own 5. Corvair was the first car I bought in high school. Been enamored ever since. They are a niche car but if you are looking for a collectable they are affordable.

[@alterman156channel]

The Corvair was not a typical American Car. It appears that they were trying to produce a car that would have at least some of the power of the Porsche at an affordable price. The air cooled flat opposed 6 cylinder engine was a unique feature of the Corvair. The swing arm suspension in the rear did have some issues. If pressed to much, a rear wheel could "tuck" under causing the body to lean too much to the point where the car could roll over. It was tail heavy. An experience driver would be able to stay out of trouble with the Corvair. Basically it was like driving a Porsche except that you weren't out to drive at excessively high speeds.Since the Corvair was somewhat larger than the VW Beetle, it did have a usable rear seat. It also came in a 4 door version (until 1967) in addition to other body styles.

[@mrdeplorable6262]

Wasn't this the car line Ralph Nader ruined on lies?

[@wlonsdale1]

[@Michael-jw6et]

Right, and you know what the best thing to figure out is? Don't go to college. This idea that if you don't go to college you are going to be a loser and your life is over is old world thinking. Now days, college is not even worth the money unless you are going to go for ten years and become a doctor. There are McDonald's Managers that make more than people with a Master Degree these days. It just isn't worth it. Her time would be better spent going to a trade school of some sort to learn a specific skill, or getting a job that is willing to train.

[@deltacx1059]

They are actually rather safe for the time and small retrofits for extra safety items like seatbelts and a colapsable steering column are very easy and reversable if someone wants it original for whatever reason. The only thing remotly dangerous about it is the meat in the drivers seat, you cant drive it like a front engine car, it just is not how the dynamics work out, kinda like tge vw beetle and dome porsches. And yes they are quite a durable car even with rust, im currently fixing mine because the floor and the corners neat the wheels are rusty and have holes but when i put a jack under a corner the thing really foes not flex. In a way the early model might be stronger than the late because of the big ridges going along the side.
