I guess even industry pros can make this sort of mistake:

And yogurt.

If I had the garage space and disposable income, this would sorely test my resolve to be done with Jaguars, even at the high-for-year-and-model ask. With any car that age, you’re buying the ownership history of the particular machine as well as make/model/year, and pending diligent and expert PPI, this one reads as…

That, and each played a major role in a tentpole cop show on archrival basic-cable networks in roughly the same timeframe...

A sturdy craft... and a lucky one, with all those opportunities for parts aft of the blowout to get damaged. Pilots with good hands, cool heads, and quite a bit of experience helped too, of course.

The things that matter include not just how much of the overall fleet is EVs, but where they are. Cities (some more than others due to geography and weather) are pollution traps, as well as centers of population in an increasingly urbanized world, so that’s where we get the bang for the buck on cutting both pollution…

“If you see something, say something.”

Your subconscious may have been trying to remind you that an ‘82 appeared in these pages for $5900 fairly recently.  It got a solid NP, but transposing those numbers makes it a harder sell.

The ad also states that a huge lot of parts is also available for purchase. At this asking price, just throwing them into the deal might help move the car. The buyer will probably need them sooner or later anyway. Otherwise, mild ND at the price, I think, though someone with a real jones for these cars (and that’s the…

If I were in that situation, I wouldn’t want to smash out a potentially repairable door if it weren’t really necessary (everything on an airplane is expensive, and it might not be something they have spares on hand for). Knowing that I could kick out this fairly flimsy door in an emergency would be enough; might as…

And of course he isn’t an ordinary person; he’s the level of entertainment celebrity to whom that amount of money is down in the noise level. (As witness his supposed intent to donate the costly watch to a charity auction.).

It was meant to be the closest thing to a big-block/fat-fenders Cobra they could build under early 90s smog and safety rules. The goal was a heady cocktail of adrenaline and testosterone; refinement even by contemporary standards, let alone today’s, was not really part of the formula.

trains punt cars out of the way just fine.

There are plenty of Cadillacs I would own, but it goes from an easy, “Sure!” to hit-and-miss somewhere amid the smog controls and downsizing years.

The cherry on top of that perfect comment is that the car is actually in Sebring.  

I wouldn’t call it a high-dollar collector market, but they have a posse. The horsepower may not be that much by today’s standards even with the turbo, but the cars also didn’t weigh much by today’s standards — less than 2000 pounds, I’d bet.

It’s an “I’ve owned and driven worse” winter beater / woods basher at a future collector item /starting point for restoration asking price.  ND.

In the days following the fire, on June 22, instead of leading the tour of the prosecutorial evidence

Priced substantially under market for its mileage and condition; easy NP if the usual due diligence pans out.

The asking price, and claimed low mileage, bring up an interesting This or That? thought experiment. For the same six-grand ask, this would be a lot easier to keep on the road than Friday’s offering, if a bit less rewarding to drive (probably not an easily achieved or highly stable condition for a carbureted,…
