This little triple needs to be in the next generation Cygnet.  They might sell a few then.

You'll need to be careful you don't get hosed in the deal.

How about a 260 based small block with Cleveland heads?  

I think we're missing the real story here-  You have terrible car luck.  

Having owned a 97 Camry manual, I have to say it was still a complete soul sucking miserable experience. That car couldn’t hold 5th on anything that looked like it might be a little uphill, the shifter felt like it was connected to the trans via the rear bumper, and it didn't seem to be built with the understanding…

WA replaces plates after 7 years, due to less of reflectivity.  I'd think FL would do it sooner, but maybe they figure for the last five years the car would just be sitting under a carport waiting for the family to come get it.

GrandE Wagoneer, then?

My Alfa 164, at right about 200hp, loves to dive for the curb on hard first gear acceleration. I can only imagine what another 15ish hp would do to that.

Ran when parked, hasn't been touched in years so a bit dirty.  May have some dampness issues from storage.  No low ballers or tire kickers, no test drives.  As is where is.  

So cheap even VW didn't give an F.

I loved the AMC Eagle. I was younger when these came out, but by the time I was driving they had all rusted away. I should have taken that warning, but instead jumped at the opportunity to get one. It was the absolute worst car I have ever had. Horrific build quality, stupid vacuum and electrical system, and not in…

If you don't leave anything on the table, nobody can eat your lunch.

That car's face will haunt my nightmares.

I don't know that that extra door is worth the extra zero in the price.

Rear Heated In Normal Operation?

I’ve always been a sporty sedan/wagon/grand tourer enthusiast. The difference is I can generally afford them now.

So many potential comments, so little time.

Not everything he has is entirely rust.  There's some air and plastic parts too.

The thing is so heavily camoed they even used the blinkers.  

My parents never jumped on the SUV craze.  I also really dislike the TTB system on compact trucks.  I like the full size twin I beam, but on the Ranger and Explorer they handled weird.  I did buy a 95 with the true IFS, and liked it.  I got it for a really good deal with a bad trans, rebuilt it myself, and drove it…
