I kept looking for a catch. I know it’s a Saturn, but other than that, low mileage, nice condition, nicely presented. Based on other recent offerings here I double checked to see if there was a an extra “1" at the start of the price. Nope, this is the easiest nice price I think I have ever seen here.

Usually a vehicle used to haul something for pay, goods, trailer, people, tools to and from a construction site, but according to the IRS it is just anything over 6000 pounds gross vehicle weight.

Beat me to it, totally agree, they got it right, sales success, success with the critics and motoring public, retro done right.

There are tax breaks for larger vehicles, including mall crawlers, that exemption needs to be scaled back to it original intent, commercial vehicles.

Or at least stop giving a tax break to all vehicles over 6000 gross vehicle weight as commercial vehicles regardless of use.  There are so many reasons to do away with that policy, safety, the environment, wear and tear on roads, but Detroit likes it and the upper middle class does too, so it will never go away.

Since you love a debate, Webers are fine, but they are a pain to tune up properly (it is easier to turn screws on an SU than to trial and error jets on a Weber), once set up properly, which can be a big challenge to avoid stumbles or flat spots, they are great.

I have owned British cars all my driving life, which started when they were still being sold new (though I was firmly in the used market then), an including MGB about 15 years ago and an MGB GT way back when they were a lot more current.

Yes, we knew this growing up, in the summer, cruising around with no A/C, it was always cooler when we drove by the big cemetery. Of course we attributed this to ghosts, but better cooling properties of greenspace vs. roads and buildings is certainly a plausible theory too.

Don’t know the circumstances here, possible distracted driving, that certainly sounds like a possibility. Distracted driving really needs to be hit with the higher penalties, PR/education campaign, and social stigma that happened with drunk driving starting in the 80s and 90s.

The body kit just isn’t doing it for me, I don’t like the concept in general and the execution is horrible, it doesn’t look well integrated especially where the front bottom of the rear flares meet the door and the rocker panel, so it is already No Dice, then add to that the fact that there is a chunk half broken off

This thing literally made me smile this morning, I did not know they existed in convertible form.  An irrational nice price.  And yes I know they are not fast or sporty, it was a small personal transport that wasn't a penalty box and people actually wanted them back then, the hardtops sold in good numbers.  Anyway,

Thirty Eight Hundred for a not roached out most everything works car from a reputable manufacturer is nice price these days, even with high miles. Sad trombone though for a vehicle from the changing of the guard era when we went from sports coupes and sedans being the mainstay of production and model lines to SUVs.

Desirable car, the mods and condition aren't too bad, but over 20k and pushing 200,000 miles is just many miles and too much money.  Maybe the market differs, don't know, but for me it is a no dice for the high miles.

I don’t think the parts for these would be that bad, Lotus made than engine for a long time, also used in Jensen Healey’s which rusted away leaving their motors behind. Stromberg carbs, Lucas electrics and lots of bitsa trim from various period cars. Also, considering you pay this or more for a nice MGB or TR6 these

I never saw that, it looks really good. I have this dream that some manufacturer will make a truck that is lower for better aerodynamics, MPG, load height, and looks, and that people will realize how much better it is than the behemoths that they are now driving and it will sell like hotcakes...alas, it is only a

I know times have changed quite a bit, but I am seeing rough running trucks for cheap around here again.  I agree they have gone way up, but I can’t quite get to $6k for this truck even with all the price increases.

In 2019 I bought a Ranger with slightly more miles (about 220,000) for $950. It ran and drove fine, was a very base model and rough around the edges.

Flip side, they got paid the fare they don't fly a leg the airline saves on fuel and service for the flight, each passenger does add an incremental though probably small amount to each flight for fuel, time spent by staff on the (now fewer) passengers boarding and getting free pretzels and a coke (maybe) on the flight.

I didn’t watch the video, I generally will not watch videos, but wants more visibility and, from the picture, currently drives a BMW, the obvious answer is a BMW 2002, the car with the most glorious greenhouse and best visibility ever.

Yes, totally agree
