I like how the seller accuses the oxidation-averse of being “afraid of rust,” as if shying away from this bucket were some kind of personal deficiency.

Don’t forget B-pillarless!

As you say, I’m sure it’s a perfectly decent car. For me, the problem with these is the company that builds them. Chrysler has had, what, four corporate owners in the past 20 years? Who knows if FCA is even going to exist in five years.

Trouble is, I think somebody done disposed of it already.

Asymptotically approaching zero.

Does anyone else remember this episode? I’m pretty sure it is RWD. That would put it in the Aspen or New Yorker platform.

I’ve always liked the metal color surround of the windshield on these. Classic kind of look.

The Revell Visible V8 sees your hipster upstart and scoffs.

Yes! Per one of the comments below, you ought to take a page from Click and Clack’s “Stump the Chumps” and contact some of these what car should I buy people six months later and see what they bought, are they happy, etc. etc. !

Wow- thanks for this reply!

Are there any actual Uber drivers here? How profitable is it? (i.e. How much will gas mileage impact your pay? Could a gas guzzler be a money loser?)

I can’t not think of the terrible dad in Spirited Away whenever I see a B5 A/S4, which you don’t see all that often anymore.

I would also wager that anything under 6.5 or so “feels” fast enough to most buyers, such that for someone who’s never driven a Corvette or whatever that’s plenty of the “Push you back into your seat” sensation and feels fast.

I would wager that 99.95% of drivers-car journalists and bloggers included-would not be able to detect a 0.3 second difference in 0-60 time by the seat of their pants.

Seat belts?

Strictly by its status as a survivor in that context, sure.

The Saturn might be a teeny weeny bit interesting by association because they made a Saab out of it and Saabs are weird. But there’s just no aspect I can think of about the 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera that is in any way noteworthy now or would be in the future.

Yup!

But to be clear, we shouldn’t confuse a passive restraint system with a supplemental restraint system. you’re describing a passive restraint system, which is one that the driver or passenger does not need to actively use for it to work, and airbags are an example of those. But so are motorized seatbelts.

That’s true, but in modern cars seat belts and airbags work together to increase safety in a crash.
