May seem like a small thing, but I was pretty much all in until I read about the two pine tree air fresheners in the car. I don’t have any air fresheners in my 22 year old car because I don’t engage in activities in the car that will stand it up.
I call it the politics of fear, as opposed to the politics of progress and hope, sadly, the fear message seems to work pretty well.
Current Mazda 3 looks eerily similar
I thought these, and the cockroach like B210, were hideous back in the day. While I don't know that I like them any better now, with the current design language of slab sides and small greenhouses they don't look as unusual to me now as they did then. They were before their time but predicted trends I don't like.
And furthermore, is the the car anybody else thought of when they saw they first saw the current generation Mazda 3, similar rear flanks. I actually hated the styling of these Nissans at the time, but, I wouldn’t go so far as to say they have grown on on me, but I can kinda see the look they going for, it just looks a…
Wow, never thought I would see a malaise era economy car at these prices. Anyway call it totally rationale or maybe a little irrational, but no dice based on the fact the seller wants a premium price for the car, but can't take the 15 seconds it would take to pull the water bottle out of the interior for the pics, or…
Agreed, but arrest the guy for pulling some plastic off that obscured the plate. What? Is the owner of the car going to have to pay $100s of dollars at a shop to get that fixed?
That is really nice--this and rats driving cars, you guys are upping your game.
I test drove both before picking an IS (which I still have) several years ago. The BMW may have better numbers, and I will fully admit the amount of speed to fuel consumption ratio is truly abysmal, but the IS has sharper reflexes, super comfortable seats, best AC and heat I have ever experienced (both important here…
When I read the headline I was expecting something truly awful, then I saw the pictures...it isn’t really awful, it is kind of cool. That said I think you buy this as a business proposition, and I don’t know enough about the limo business to say if this is a good one, so I am going to do a rare thing on the internet…
Do It!
If it wasn't far away I would taking the morning off and driving out to take a look. Shut up and take my money. Easiest nice price in a long time.
If this thing runs and drives well nice price. There are a lot of crappy inop or barely operative ones with cosmetic needs out there for less, but everything I have read 928 parts aren't cheap (which is why broken 928s are). Nice price subject to a good inspection and test drive. Would love to drive one of these…
That is where I am at too. Buying this thing at 10k would probably not be a terrible decision, but I can’t wrap my head around 10k for, as you stated "a 17 year old base model transportation appliance" on the north side of 150K I will add.
Fun for the masses, the first generation Nissan Sentra SE-R. Up until that time 16 valve found cylinder engines made power at the high end. The Sentra made torque down low and pulled well all the way up to its 7500 (!!) rpm redline.
And you could get a 4 door manual one too. Not saying the 4 door was better than the coupe, but I think it was just fantastic that you could get a lightweight, just big enough for four manual sports sedan back then at a pretty reasonable price. I almost bought one to replace my first generation Sentra SE-R.
If it checks out in person, starts, runs, steers, stops, with no undue smells and noises and the majority of the electricals work, yeah, why not?
As others have stated, a boomer Corvette is stock, probably driven more like a cruiser than a sports car, low miles, and one of only fifty two made that year in firemist red with automatic transmission and sunroof delete or whatever. Maybe boo era were into modifying cars when they were teenagers, go to any Corvette…
I always thought these were kind of cool, both in concept and execution. However, this one is not cool enough to overcome my over ten years over one hundred thousand miles should be under $10 grand rule. No Dice
