I love the outside, but that interior just looks too much like cheap trying to be fancy

Jag XK8, just an amorphous blob, the interior manifestation of the worst of 90s “melted bar of soap” styling. Also, looks like something only old white guys is sansabelt slacks (think Ted Knight in Caddyshack, white shoes and polyester pants) would think of as fancy and fashionable.

My mom had a Saturn Ion

An unenthusiastic nice price from me. It looks to be in very nice shape and someone will probably snatch it up for that price, even though not to the most desirable spec.

I always thought the MB5 was pretty cool

NO, you need 1800ccs and loud pipes to be safe on a bike, everybody knows that. I’d better mention that, this being the internet, my comment was meant sarcastically.

I owned a motorcycle for about 5 years and never took the rear wheel off.  Why would you take the rear wheel off a few times a year?

Most everything gets better if you double your budget. This new Honda looks like fun to me. I have been looking for something fun to bop around the neighborhood in, run errands travel nice days. I have no desire to ride a motorcycle on the highway. Have done it, to each their own, not my thing.

It kind of drives me nuts, and yes it is not just cars, some people don’t seem to like to provide any information about something they are trying to sell. My crazy mind thinks if I am trying to sell something, the person who is thinking about buying it probably wants to know something about it. This gets exponentially…

Agree 100%, as I said in another comment before I read yours, even if I had this kind of money to spend unwisely, I can’t imagine ever spending my money that unwisely. Rapidly depreciating asset with no warranty and unknown but more than likely high to very high maintenance and repair costs. I like cars, but I can’t…

You are not thinking of the question broadly enough

While I understand that this is a not far from new car at much less than new price, that is the perspective from looking backwards. From what I understand, successful people tend to look forwards. Looking forwards I see a nice but still expensive car, out of warranty, still rapidly depreciating, with a significant…

I don’t usually Nice Price complicated out of warranty German luxury cars, and yes I know this a ticking time bomb, grenade, bankruptcy in a bottle, etc. But still seems like a lot of car for the money, and having seen what I see as similar offerings up here for twice the money, a tentative nice price for someone that…

I feel vindicated.  All my life when I get in a car after people the same general height as me I move the seat up a couple notches.  Never been comfortable having to have legs almost full extended to push the pedals.  Grew up driving small cars without power brakes, that may be part of it.

Beat me to it, I was massively disappointed when the new Ranger came out, had to see it next to a full sized truck to realize it was smaller.  I had a '97 with the 2.3, manual transmission, manual steering and windows.  All the truck I wanted or needed.  Wish I wouldn't have sold it.

At first I was going to say you were crazy as the pressure in the cabin is greater, thus making it easier to open the door, but in fact the doors generally open inward, so the pressure does keep them in place.  I seem to recall paying attention in the emergency exit a few times, and the instructions are to release the…

The hard stuff is done.  The body and interior are beautiful.  Track down the electrical problem that is keeping it from running and you have a deal.  The engine cranks, so it is not blown up.  Buy fix it, drive it for fun, or list it on Bring a Trailer for a profit.

I agree, the left has been working up.a big fat slow softball pitch to the right on trans issues for some time, and the right has connected and the ball is sailing out of the park.

I like old imports as much or more than the next guy, and it is from my era, but doesn’t give me warm and fuzzy feelings, the 70s equivalent of a Camry. I don’t hate it, but I can’t bring myself to get too excited about it. Small old Japanese appeal to me more than slightly larger Japanese cars trying their best to be…

Miata is not always the answer, if you want a catfish looking roadster think Daimler
