I am not a C$ hater like many seem to be, they are a V8 sport car bargain, the uncertainty of the overheating engine (does it need a new cooling system, or a whole new motor?) is a bit off putting here.  However, add in two of those nasty air fresheners and it puts the car firmly into the no dice territory.  I can…

Kudos to the seller for taking the what is the apparently excruciatingly painful effort to clean up the car and put it on the street for clear full vehicle pictures before listing it. It certainly plays a lot better than the “I want you to pay good money for a car I clearly don’t give a crap about” ads you usually see.

I pretty much hate everything about this thing, but I don't think the price is too bad.  Look at the interior, somebody loved their crosscab.  $4600 for a car that clean at about a decade old is par for the course these days, think of it as a Murano with a vinyl top and you are good to go.

A quick search shows I can get a car with 100,000 miles or so for similar money, and somewhere between 60-100,000 for a few grand more.

I haven’t even read the comments, but I am sure they are going to be something something something, no Pinto is worth that much. I was probably ready to be that guy too. But just look at those glorious seats. This thing is very well done, and also, dare I say it, a brown manual wagon.

Unless you tow big things, big enough for pretty much anything you would want to use a pickup truck for.  But yet I am sure full sized will outsell these x times to one, because bigger is always better.

Late to the party, but performance versions of big truck and SUVs. You end up with worse gas mileage, higher maintenance and and a muted “performance” driving experience because your car is so far off the ground. I made a similar comment about today’s NPOND AMG Mercedes SUV. If you have ever taken off in a commercial…

Wow, you don’t usually see high end cars in this bad of shape, but that car is indeed beyond hope. Bodywork is bodywork, it is a lot of time and effort, but metal is metal, and it can be done, with a welder and perseverance.

Man this thing is boring looking, it looks pretty much exactly like some other generic SUV from the 90s or early 200os, so generic I can’t remember the name of it. If it didn’t have the Mercedes grill everybody would think you are driving a Pontiac SUV.

Having been in college in the mid eighties I can confirm that these vehicles were quite popular with Sorority sisters, wasn’t just a stereotype. This one looks pretty clean and correct. Cars seems clean, will give it a nice price.

I guess it depends on what “feeling like a new car” means to you, if it means having all the bells and whistles of the latest and greatest or is it clean, and nothing clunks or shakes or feels like it is going to fall off, it drives smooth and feels well built. I have an older Lexus, and I have looked at newer, but…

Unsurprisingly, the CL ad is gone, not exciting, but price and condition (and miles) is this market, easy nice price.

I have shopped these on my infinite CL playlist for years. This looks like a VGC car, if it runs and all the accessories and bits work with no issues this is easy nice price, as ones that look this good are usually over $10K, but prices are certainly all over the map. I put these and Porsche 928s in the same pool, a…

That is awesome, would give more stars if I had them to give.  I remember the Bob Tullius Group 44 XJ-S’s being pretty successful.

I agree, although I think the emphasis isn’t what is used to be, all the talk about EVs seemed to focus on range, range anxiety is a thing, but if you can charge as fast as you can fill a gas tank, and you can buy the EV for the same price as a comparable ICE vehicle, I bet you could sell a lot more.  There are early…

The disparity among regions really hit home with me when I read somewhere (here I think) that the Tesla model Y was the best selling car in California. Out here in the Midwest seeing a Tesla is no longer a novelty, but I would say it has gone from being about as common as a Ferrari to as common as a Volvo or something…

I can’t give you a star for that, but I did chuckle

Exactly, this car looks like it was painted back in the day when cheap paint jobs and bondo over rust were more common than cutting out the metal and doing it right, then put away and not used for daily duty or exposed to salt, so the bad hasn’t come back through.  I bought a similar 2002 in about 2015, but I paid a…

This car shows as sold on eBay with a best offer. It had been listed repeatedly with a slowly descending price. This looks like a cheaply painted over rust many years ago car. I should know, I bought a ‘74 2002 in similar condition years ago for cheap. I got to enjoy driving a decent looking 2002 for not much money.

It is weird, but I think most all modern supercars are ugly, so it doesn’t really stand out in any way to me.  Also, I saw one in person a couple years ago and thought it looked better in person than in pictures.
