I do like it, despite the rear deck looking like a toilet seat lid.

We had a 2003 XC70 in my family and it ended up being far more reliable than we ever dreamed.  The front seats are amazing for long trips, highway mileage was really good, it was a tank in the snow, and it was large enough to hold dogs and people comfortably.  We kept it until around 2018, when we sold it to a…

They picked this specifically to get a >95% NP on the books. $3k for a travel car that you can put another 50k-100k highway miles on? I’d buy it right now if it wasn’t already sold.

I would call that suspiciously cheap. But you do occasionally get the “doesn’t know what he’s got” car sale, so who knows? I have to think that car would get a LOT more on BaT or C&B, especially being an M-sport. Though it’s manual M-Sport coupes that go for ALL the money these days.

It’s in here where you’ll find this E88’s party piece, which is the shifter for the car’s General Motors-sourced six-speed manual transmission.

False. It takes 2.3 seconds to say “split tailgate”. Meanwhile, the average transaction time for a new Expedition is 5.9 hours.

I had the same thought. I don’t think factory wheels were that big in 1992.

As they should. Overrevving is 100% user error. Hitting redline is the engine’s method of preventing overrevving. Mechanical overrev is what happened with this car, apparently multiple times. One can mechanically overrev their engine without experiencing immediate catastrophic failure, also knows as a money shift.…

the narrow tires are not stock; that would be first on the list for replacement

Why is a car site getting political? So dumb and extremely bias. Write an article about the 325,000 unaccounted migrant children that are missing in the US.

OK...Horrible accident that was related to Haitian immigrants...what is the political flex here for jalopnik????

My grandmother owned one of these in hardtop back in the 80's. Strangely, in her (now my) small KS town, there was actually a Renault dealer if you can believe that for a short time. Here’s what the 1 car showroom window looks like today (also was a Datsun dealer for a short time IIRC).

The 14 year old me would still be excited to watch either of those shows.

I used to be a SAAB driver. I had a 2001 9-5 Aero Red 5spd and my friend had a 2000 9-3 Blue Viggen 2dr and a 2001 Black Viggen 4 dr.

Very easy NP.  For this price, someone can sink a little money into the cosmetic issues and have a fun summer droptop.  And these Viggens have gotten rare.  Mileage is high, and I’d want a private inspection, but it can be a riot to drive.

Could be worse.

Reintroduce punishment.

Dad had a 73 Vega for a while in the late 70's. Low miles orange hatchback. It wasn’t bad but not great.

My first cars were a 77 Chevy Monza (4cyl 4 spd), 78 Pontiac Sunbird (4 cyl 4 spd ) These had the Iron Duke engine, not the aluminum block of the Vega, 78 Oldsmobile Starfire (V6, Dogleg 5 spd)

I'm gonna call this a NP. It looks to be a pretty solid base for building a hot rod. Looks fairly rust free, too!
