Only if you’re really, really into what they did and sold on how well they did it. Hagerty thinks that the asking price should fetch a show-contender unmolested P1800 (that doesn’t have a dirty bootprint and an old shop rag on the carpet and a breakaway fuel filter dangling by two rubber hoses where it’s begging to…
Hot take: Worth three grand as a driveable conversation piece, even saddled with the optional automatic. GM sold a gadzillion J-bodies, and they got people around. The main problem is that they weren’t plausible Cadillacs—and that nameplate came at a four grand premium, back when that was real money, over a high trim…
Yeah... It might be easy to get back on the road, or a major project needing specialized expertise. Its status (laid up 10 years, partly disassembled) and age and mileage add up to many known unknowns and unknown unknowns. At least the seller is candid about this (inherited car, and perhaps the gearhead gene skipped a…
Obviously not for the mainstream driver at this point (sales figures of some 14,000 in the US, about another 10,000 elsewhere, across six years suggest that it never was), but they have their enthusiasts, and here’s a decent looking “before” picture at what seems like a fair price. In a market full of people who price…
This stretch looks like a quite ordinary dirt road (one site says Hurrah Pass, which seems to not be considered that difficult or at all technical) with, obviously, an edge on one side that is most unforgiving of mistakes. About 3:26 in the video, the recovery guy suggests that the TRX driver saw traffic coming the…
I gather that statistically it is an extreme sport among extreme sports. The most dangerous corner of it is wingsuit flying launched under BASE jumping circumstances, often coupled with deliberately flying in proximity to the terrain (which can bring exposure to tricky mountain winds as well as less time and…
One of the findings of the investigation of this incident was an insufficient or nonexistent explicit briefing on who would do what and when. That would seem like something to go over beforehand, especially with wingsuit jumpers, since the whole idea is that they themselves have some significant ability to fly.
ND at anywhere near that ask (like, maybe within ten grand) unless the cargo pod on the roof is full of concours trophies, which is something the seller probably would have mentioned.
The book price on these, plus the $10k stated cost of those rims, is remarkably similar to the asking price. That, plus the uncertainties about what’s under the hood, add up to ND.
Kids can figure out on their own that people come in more than one variety, but without adult guidance, how would they learn to hate and fear the different ones?
They were a sales hit at the time.
This one’s off the charts on normal used-car pricing due to the condition and mileage. Nine feels excessive, at least if you mean nine thousand, but it might be just the thing for somebody who deals out movie cars, and I hardly ever see one at all anymore, never mind in this condition.
I hadn’t noticed it at first either, but the once keen eyes of Steve Gravelle did, the explanation seemed pretty clear.
Given the Dover, Delaware location of the car and the KC-10 in the background, safe guess that it has something to do with the Air Mobility Command. I’d be up for that museum if I weren’t most of the way toward the other side of a big country.
Only problem here is that he is asking quite a bit too much money for its age and mileage. Like, 150% of a dealer price and maybe 200% of private party. Nice car at a no-dice price.
The Ford spokesperson’s statement leaves me scratching my head. Sounds on the face of it as though the hybrid is popular and makes its customers happy, so they’re cancelling it?

It’s reminiscent of the I-85 viaduct fire in Atlanta several years ago; their own Department of Transportation was storing a large amount of plastic pipe under there. Some people smoking crack* started a fire that spread to this material, which burns like sin once it gets going.
There’s no kill like overkill
