I think the point is that anyone that owns an ERA knows the price of one, and they seldom sell it that cheap unless its a real beater. I looked at an older ERA for $37k, it didn't have the pin drives and needed some engine work. but othewise respectable enough at that price. As for the ERA for 33k, I imagine it's either misrepresented, as the www.erareplicas.com site suggests (and it really does happen), or it's one of the first 50 cars made and in need of everything from drive train, running gear and skin.

ERA is pretty easy to determine, so I would be curious to see a picture of this car. If it's as you say it is vegan, I wish you a lot of luck, but be very careful, there are a lot of deceptive deals out there, sometimes a used car dealer takes one of these cars in and just says, ERA, and it really might be a modified corvette frame with a cobra body purchased on eBay. have somebody that knows ERA look at the car before you write the check, check on this forum and ask for someone to look at photos without disclosing the location and license # and see what folks in the know have to say about it.
