Good lord no. No.

Literally EVERY single comment about IMS failures. The early model year Porsches had the DUAL-ROW bearing, which hardly fails. It’s the single-row bearings that tend to fail, and the problem as a whole is nowhere near as big as the internet will have you believe. Let the folks whine about “big dollar repairs” and…

Knobs forever! The fact that we’re replacing tactile features for something you can only control by looking at it while you click is not only annoying and unsafe, but completely unsatisfying. If I wanted to play on my tablet I would have stayed on the couch!

Mk 7.5 manual owner here. Yes on the power. Yes on the plaid. Yes on the manual. NOOOOOO on everything else! Especially touchpad screens instead of knobs and dials. GAH!

Just chisel a new power steering pump out of a block of wood. Like Grandpa used to do.

And you would take this where if you had a problem or needed a part? What we have here is an ugly orphan. CP all the way back to the Hafei Salbao plant.

YAAAASSSSSS

My neighbour had two of them, new, back in the day. His marriage ended a short time later. Coincidence? I think not.

My sister briefly had a Pacer back in the day. I suspect that most Jalopnik readers aren’t old enough to have driven these cars and don’t realize just how bad almost all cars from the Big 3 were back then.

I was gonna vote, heart over head, for this being a NP until I read this:

That's a nice price for somebody, not me by any stretch, but somebody.  This thing is weird enough and close to being a time capsule.  It also needs the right kind of owner who laughs in the face of danger to actually drive it.  A light blue paint job and a tiny flame job would triple the price.

As much as I appreciate the quirkiness of the Pacer, $4k for 88hp with rust is at least twice what is reasonable.

I propose that @RobEmslie get today’s COTD for “Corollavirus”.

This is a highly desirable car in very nice shape. With that said, this price is way out of line.

Can I play?

Those are all chock-diddily-full of win, Torch-a-rino.

No, take the *Metro*.

I think Torch has the right answer this time. Find a sport coat to match that interior and it practically screams “campaign worker”.

Yeah but...

These are going to become abundant when the Van Lyfe is not what it appears on the instagram.
