If you want one, this might be the one you want, but $12k is ‘way past how badly I want one.

Crowing about one’s intent to sue always carries a whiff of the cattle substance—all the more so when the legal basis is so, erm, speculative. If you are actually going to sue, you have your lawyers assemble a good case, and then just file.

As a business proposition for a gimmick limo, well, a cosplay wedding where the groom has a Brylcreem-laden DA haircut and wears a white T-shirt with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in the sleeve probably doesn’t come up just any day, and prom season is short.

Is this instant karma for a bad motorist?

Yeah, if you want one there can’t be that many to choose from anymore (US sales were something like 40,000 over several model years, and I’m sure time and chance have happened to many of them). This one is priced between a Fair and a Good in the tough Hagerty grading scheme. NP for the right enthusiast though…

Okay if not exactly giveaway price for mileage and condition for someone who knows what they’re getting into. Those who just think they know what they’re getting into should contemplate that engine-bay picture and imagine getting into anything that isn’t right on top. And if those low miles reflect long years of…

I’m not going to trust a long term owner that doesn’t detail the changes in the ad.

“I wish I was a stingray”

One of the kids and his wife have a CX9 of that vintage, in a nice trim. I’ve driven it both around town and on the open road. They know we want first crack at it, high book, cash, should they ever decide they need something else. I don’t think I’m getting it anytime soon.

Got to admit, an underhood “cold” air intake and aftermarket LED headlights with halos don’t boost my confidence, but the body suggests that if he either tracks or street-races the car, at least he’s good in the chair.

Every used car is for sale because somebody thinks he would be better off with the money than with the car. The buyer’s job is to figure out why.

This might be the most niche offering ever to appear in this column, but somewhere out there is someone keeping the faith for Bobby Allison to a sufficient degree to want a tribute car... maybe in a well heeled retirement by now (it’s been a minute since Allison’s racing days) and able to afford to invest twelve grand…

If you think the major shortcoming of hang gliding and motocross is that neither one alone offers enough ways to die, this is the transit revolution you’ve been waiting for!

This car is claimed to be FSBO

I’ll be surprised if it isn’t snapped up quickly.

That was a common choice at that time and place for a frugal trim of a Japanese car that would never leave the sea-breeze and fog belt. Taking it even as far as the Inland Empire at this time of year, never mind crossing the deserts en route to your neck of the woods, should be worth comp time in purgatory. I think it…

A not-that-hot-by-today’s-sensibilities hatch, in a commute-beater spec with an odometer reading suggesting that’s just how it was used, with a lot of little issues and a few big ones (without even considering why it was on planned non-operation status for years), old enough that whoever bought it new is at least…

Yeah, a pretty typical “trestle,” a sort of bridge that takes train tracks over a low lying area. The seller says he’s driven the car “back and forth across the country,” so unless we blunder on someone with very local knowledge, it’s hard to say just where; they’re all over the place.

Astonishingly to me, DWI hit-and-run is just a B misdemeanor in Texas, although if the injuries are deemed “serious” the hit-and-run rises to a third-degree felony.

The crowning irony is that the cream would have been yummy whereas the silver, uh, maybe it looks better in person?
