nope - it would still be a constant aggravation and disappointment. If I need more of that, I’ll dump money on strippers and drugs

that’s what we call yard-art - sorry to fart in your fan, man.

a beautiful, comfortable, well performing car that was fun to drive - for the 36.257% of the time it actually works and the trans doesn’t go all wi-fi and IF AND ONLY IF the electrodigicals and sparkolators decide to show up to play nice.

You couldn’t pay ME to own this - *source* owned a Lincoln LS (same car).  No parts available, crap ECM, crap VVT, crap Trans, crap BCM.  Nice chassis and suspension, but THERE’S NO PARTS for what breaks or wears out.  Kill this soul sucking money dumpster with fire.

nah - too many miles and I don’t want to work that hard to end up with what this is.  Far better toys for similar or less dough, so CP.

that’s exactly the point - this is no dice because there’s better units out there for this price bracket kind of toy - a LOT of better ways to spend 4 grand than this one.

we jumped that shark years ago, man

nothing more expensive than a cheap BMW.  No freaking way.

that’s the way to know to walk away - 

LOL -  nOPPe

this is the right take on this.  it gives me feels too.

if nothing else, this is Best of Craigslist stuff right here.  Props to the dude, and the original owner for being good stewards of their worldly posessions.

just no.  it’s a Fiat.  zero stars. 

it’s a solid ‘maybe’ from me - would be a decent high school kid car, and the money ain’t bad assuming it passes a reasonable test drive and a little driveway discount.

this is actually the right answer.

An ES (same car) will actually be less expensive than the Avalon, in an ironic way...supply/demand and all those economicalitics in play and what not.

good pick.

Town Car has all of those things, Marg...provided a guy can plug in a cellphone.  When I did 60 each way for a decade, that was the car that made it not suck.  I get the stigma, but once a guy gets past that, he sees the Zen of the Town Car solution.

what exactly is going on in this picture?

agreed - correct take.  I would buy.  I would drive.  I would de-murder it.  6 grand.
