Don't know about the 4547 club car, but the 4558 Metroliner has recently sold *consistently* for $275-$315, assuming it's opened. I was in the market for one about a month-and-a-half ago, and at least five of them came up for straight sales and (...) (26 years ago, 14-Oct-98, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) I agree with everything you say in this post, except the above statement.

'Course, I would probably turn around and sell 4 of them for as much as I could to try to (...) (26 years ago, 17-Oct-98, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) Ouch, now that REALLY hurts. Seriously. I'm tempted to mention that I was afraid that sounded a little off-base when I originally sent it, especially since the first thing I would do is probably write Larry and see if he could use any for cost (...)
