Which is precisely what gap insurance is for.

A functional CLEAN AWD vehicle for $3K got a NP from me.

Or, beat them down to $1500 and hoon the shit out of it as is.

That’s what got me an S55 at the time.

As was the Frankenforrester from yesterday. I can imagine the rage he flew into at the peanut gallery trouncing his baby.

Welcome to street life in NYC. Loads of folks standing around with literally nothing else better to do. 5 minutes is a small price to pay for the potential of hitting the YouTube lottery.

He knows what he has. A pissed off wife/girlfriend and a thoroughly polished turd in the driveway mocking her every move. She looks at that car and all she can think of is what she could have done for the $10K and countless hours and pain in the ass it has caused her.

Looks nice, but CP on the general principle of putting a performance badge on something that is NOT that thing. All the motivation, cash, and parts in the world don’t make it that thing. I suppose this is a hair better in that there was never an STi version of a Forrester, but not by much.

Geographic CP, indeed. It’d cost more to get it past the Mississippi than it’s worth.

That will be a VASTLY more complicated and expensive vehicle to own and repair.

I saw one last week (with a for sale sign on it), and the Turette’s response was “How is THAT still moving under its own power?”

Perhaps just like the seller of the Civic Si today.

Nice try, Junior. I’ve owned all three brands + Toyota at one point or another. We’re also not involved in peer reviewed research here on a car blog. So, until I have to provide citations for my opinions and you’re willing to replicate, then roll that fanboy alert flag back up, tuck it under your arm, and head back…

Right! Someone at Ford just called it out, to their credit. Build the 80% solution. If it meets the needs of 80% of the consumers, run with it. Offer the option for those that want it for something different.

My problem with these was always that it looks like someone smacked it in the ass with a board. Hard.

No one has ever walked away from a Honda of that era muttering that they couldn’t fit in it. I had an ‘80 Civic Wagon and a ‘90 Accord and at 6'2" had to scoot the seat up in both of them. In neither did my head even come close to touching the headliner, either.

Nope - it means “Transmitting your location and intent to the enemy.” But yeah - I’d be curious to see if a full price offer would be met with a sale rather than a, “Cool. Just checking to see if someone would pay that.” and then a subsequent listing a month later for $6K.

Gotta have something for supervisors to roll around in....

Well, and to the point below, a rigid bed liner would solve almost any concern there.
