Yeah, $12k is really a pretty solid price.  Most of these you find are going to be high-mileage and have a ton of gaudy mods; for someone who wanted one of these growing up and now has a decent job, this would be a pretty nice example.

You answered yourself. The seals. It lists main seals, if the rear main leaked it likely screwed up the clutch via oil soak. Not really a red flag.

Not for any price would I be willing to buy an X6, let alone this monstrosity.

Didn’t even have to read this one to vote CP on anything that says Mansory. Their shit makes Pep Boys accessories look tasteful.  

CP for me. BUT, I can totally understand someone thinking this is the best thing since Jan Michael-Vincent did the full loop-de-loop in his chopper in Air Wolf.

ProTip: Mechanical Cooling fan = Tow Package.

I think this whole ‘ONE OF ONLY XXX’ train of thought makes people forget what they’re selling. Sure, the turd I dropped this morning is also a 1 of 1, but its still a turd.

Yeah, this is Ohio car, so the body structure is rotten, and it’s a rubber-bumper malaise special, not original, blah blah blah. Fuck it, this isn’t a Barrett-Jackson queen. NP. Drive it as is til the doors fall off, then make a Vette Kart.

As the emails come in, it is apparent that common sense is not so common. The whole point of this column is to help folks that maybe don’t know as much as the rest of us.

Can I throw a bunch of random parts in a car get 7K for it?

I don’t really think he’s upcharging for the mods. If you want a mid to late 2000s Legacy, Outback, or Forester XT in good condition with reliable service history records, you’re gonna have to pay well over the blue book value. There aren’t really many options out there if you desire a turbo, manual, small crossover…

Oh hell no.

I think it looks good. Spec V means you get 200 hp and even if those ponies are directed only to the front, that’s a fair amount of motivation. It’s up to you to determine how many have wandered off in the 11 years since the car was built, however.

...and with speedo and odo in kilometers, what is going on with the provenance of this car...

In 2004 I saw a woman try to kill herself by driving one of these off Beachy Head, Quadraphenia-style, except rather than plunge hundreds of feet to the rocks below the truck decided to wedge itself in a crack 50 feet down, allowing its driver to ponder fate and the miracle of life for an hour or two until…

It’s not just the badge it’s the interior and the lux bits. Trust me sit in it you know why it costs more. 

The EPA estimates prior to the Obama rule were that about 2% of new truck sales are gliders, but those 2% of trucks pollute as much in a year as the remaining 98% of trucks sold with modern emission equipment. I think that it’s worthwhile to keep those 2700 trucks off the road since they’re emitting as much pollution a…

Heavy equipment and transport trucks should have a MORE strict testing procedure. They operate for much more time and mileage than passenger vehicles and they are under load constantly to keep the weight moving forward. The engines themselves need to create more power (read more pollutants) just to keep the rig at a…

Ok those who voted in favor of this car are just enabling the artificial inflation of quasi-desirable cars from the 80s. Plus this thing has a slush box. I could barely wrap my head around the price of yesterday’s RX7, now today we’re just being ridiculous.

Is it close enough however, to reach that $10,777 asking?
