As a fan of the 1960s TV show The FBI*, I should be all in with this car. Unfortunately, the $8,000 price tag + $God-knows-much in repair and restoration costs keep it off my Most Wanted list.

I think DMV is just sort of a catchall since that what they use on TV.  Where I live, it’s the DOL, but everyone calls it the DMV.

Tid bit of information, New Mexico calls it MVD not DMV. Don't know why.

God, no.

I have a 2011 Cayenne Turbo, almost this cars clone. (Also purchased in San Francisco) In 2019 I paid $38,000 and it had 87,000 miles. 

CNG tanks also need to be replaced every 10 years or so.

Choices were made. They weren't good ones. ND.

Yeah, I could almost get there if it was just kind of ratty survivor, instead of a survivor of bad choices.

If you keep it far from road salt or significant moisture, the rust should be a slow burn. And the interior looks nice. But I wouldn’t want to drive around in (or have to explain) somebody else’s joke. I’d want to restore it, and for that, the price of entry needs to be far less.

Some of those sticker appear just to be for “things I like” and a lot of them are just highway stickers. You could get several stickers on a trip.  The nation is “only” around 3,000 miles across. I don’t know why you would have to criss-cross it 100 times to visit that many places.

I think ‘captured’ is a bit strong. More like the Japanese found and recovered it.

rockers and cab corners intact don’t happen around here in Hellinois either

Probably the easiest Nice Price vote I have seen in this series.  I have no room in my driveway, but I would consider it if I saw it posted.  

I love single cab work trucks. My daily driver is a tacoma work truck. Hand crank windows, no key fob, manual tranny. No cruise control or even intermittent windshield wipers. There’s nothing to break.

This is either a “come on” for sexting or a NP. With Craigslist, who knows? Buy it before it disappears.

That would be a hell of a bargain here in Ohio, much less in California - NP all day long...

That price around here is getting you something with see-through rocker panels...

Easy NP you could probably flip it for a profit ten minutes after you bought it.

Durable engine and transmission plus few electric geegaws. NP

One of the earlier “fixes” to the whole oil starvation causing the engine to fail issue with Hyundai’s was to update the software for the knock sensor to make it more sensitive. Essentially the car could preserve the engine by immediately putting the car into limp mode when the engine would inevitably start to fail.

If he doesn’t have the money to pay for it, then it should be a combination of money and community service to help get it cleaned up. As in strap up those boots and get to cleaning.
