Of course, three years and 50,000 miles later when you're on your second or third transmission or ECM and it's coming out of your pocket, the regrets will kick in.

The Cressida was a nice car, but it's about as exciting as the Camry. The limo version is just as boring. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

@Psiu! Puxa! drinks unleaded and craps valve seats: Thank you for that info. I always new Lucas electrics were the scourge of the British automotive world, but never knew why. I mean, how hard is it to produce a working switch? Pretty hard, apparently, if you're Lucas.

Serious question: Why *are* Lucas electrics so bad? Bad design? Bad quality control? Inferior materials? All of the above?

@TV's Paul Y.: And it actually ran for 2500 miles in a row. I would have expected at least three or four trips to a mechanic in 2500 miles.

I had a friend that had a Chevette. It wasn't a bad car (for GM, anyway), but it was tiny. It was RWD, of course, so it had a huge tranny tunnel which made front seat room really tight.

Oh, wait, I'm off by a factor of ten. I thought the asking price was $1950! Even that's still too much.

That bed is just begging for a swimming pool.

@HoonThatFerrari: LOL...he does seem to have some fetish for six-wheeled transportation devices.

But....the Metric had superior European styling!

Jesus, the Sloans are getting $25,000. Isn't that enough? They're lucky they're getting anything at all, since they don't even own the car.

@alexander_the_car_salamander: Your neighbor needs a dope-slap from every single Jalopnik reader.

A 1980 Pinto wagon with a 5.0? Hell yes and then some! Gimmee!

It's not that great of a video. I'll give it a bee plus.

Hmm, YouTube pulled it. But here's another copy:

$10 says there's a Nissan Cube in the garage!

Cover it back up! There is a law against indecent exposure. Think of the children!

Uh oh, better get Maaco!
