You see so few Vipers around most probably wouldn’t even know it was modified. As these cars are kind of crudely put together and a bit of a hot rod the mods don’t really bother me. It looks kinda black and mean and fun to run around in. Nice Price if the TLC involves a couple weekends of wrenching, but not if it…

These early 5 series were arguably as important in establishing BMW as the maker of sporting sedans in the U.S. market as the 2002 and 3 series. They are what people are referring too when they talk of BMW losing its BMWness. Handsome, functional styling, big enough to get the job done but lt generally a little…

I don't entirely disagree with your point, but I am guessing CR puts resale/trade-in right up there in its scoring criteria.  They also contribute to some extent to the low resale of the Chevy by scoring them low.

I know a 3 series was a compact sedan at one time, but at 3700 pounds plus, a BMW 3 series is considered considered “compact”. Will the embiggening of cars ever end?

Sketchy looking sale, but 2022 with 16,000 miles.  If it checks out with a PPI seems like a screaming good deal.  I have no idea what these go for new, but I am sure it is a lot more that eighteen-five.  Most new stuff with low miles seems like it is priced at about two grand off original sticker these days.

Not available with a manual, but I think you can get an Alfa 4C for about that much.  A true enthusiast car even without the third pedal.  Take care of it and it probably wouldn't depreciate much if at all.

I haven’t had extensive experience with them, but the first time I drove a car with a 6 speed I was very excited before and very underwhelmed after.

They need to take a more holistic approach to safety, we have the crash standards that everybody uses when advertising their cars, and a big slab sided vehicle built like a tank does better in those tests, so we get big, slab sided vehicles with a tank turret to see out of. Peds and cyclists are getting hit by said…

Yeah, the last part of my commute to work is through our town’s small urban center. Every corner has a light and speed limit is 25-30. And yet, the past few years, once a week or so I see the remnants of an accident where one car or more is completely spun around and off the road, always by an intersection. Have to…

I almost went there, very refreshing to hear it doesn't just need "a tune up" or plug wires, or some other cheap and easy fix to make it run like new.  

While this would be a cool little beastie if restored to stock or stockish specs, it would not be cool enough to justify the effort even if the price was free (or here’s $200 to haul it away). Tons of work and unobtanium parts.

The Tiger would be one of them, also other V-8 powered sports and sports racing cars that saw limited production on or around the time of the Cobra. Devin SS, TVR Griffith for example.

Apparently Fiat was the car to buy in the inventory crisis, as they are still trying to move cars from two years ago.

Not a Canuck, but lifelong admirer of 50s and 60s sports cars and sports racers.  I had never heard of it either, have heard of a lot of the Cobra's less well known cousins,  but definitely not this one.

Ohhhh Nnnnnnnoooo! license plate on the internet! We might as well just put seller’s pic on a milk carton, he is as good as gone.

I didn’t forget the high belt lines and poor rear visibility, CVTs and highly stressed small turbo engines, that was part of the “none of the stuff you didn’t” I mentioned but didn’t list. But yeah that is part of why I love thee the 90s too. I was a Nissan guy, had a first generation SE-R, followed by a 99 Maxima SE…

Elsewhere I told the story of looking at one of these in the late 80s, I described it as looking much worse than this one, however, the much more descriptive term would have been “looked like a dog fight took place inside it” which fits perfectly with what I vaguely remember.

This is the correct answer--nice price--for somebody else

It was maybe ‘87 or ‘88 there was a used one, not more than 4-5 years old, on a janky little gravel used car lot not far from my first home. It looked way worse than this one, they wanted $6,000 for it back then, and I thought, “wow, I could actually buy a Maserati”. I didn’t then, and I probably wouldn’t now, and…

Though I have kind of gotten used to them, the constant barrage of terms like beautiful associated with the K-G has always kind of baffled me.  Looks pretty dumpy and frumpy for a sports car.  I think the new Supra looks better in person than in the pics, surprisingly small and tidy.
