Surprised no one said Infiniti, they started off pretty much even with Lexus (and Nissan was also producing product as good as Toyota in the ‘90s) and have just kind of slowly faded from relevance or having an upscale image, the Japanese Lincoln.

Everything looks clean and straight, body, interior, even underhood looks very tidy and unmolested.  Nice Price.  Add plumbing and you have a mobile alternative to tiny house...

“selling point"

Call me superficial, but that shiny red paint looks great, as does the interior (which is as big or bigger as selling paint than the paint, interiors are expensive to sometimes near impossible to fix because of parts availability and cost) assuming it runs well easy nice price.

I buy lumber and stick it out the sunroof of my sedan.  I would much rather do that a few times a year then drive something I could break my ankles on with a careless dismount.

Half hearted Nice Price, the cool troopers were the 80s square body units.  This one is dullsville, but guess it would work as reasonably priced transportation for somebody.

That was my thought, they probably mail the ticket and I assume there is a lag for processing and mailing times.

My first car was an Austin Healey Sprite MkIII. 1098ccs and 59 HP. Slow car fast fun has been around for a long time.

NIce Price, this thing appears to be rust free and cosmetically good, reasonable miles. There is definitely a market for these. The mechanicals are simple and cheap to repair. It is undoubtedly inferior to a modern car in most every way, but that is the fun of it, not comparing performance, comfort, NVH, ride and

I sort of shop XJ-S’s in the way one does, looking at the for sale ads knowing you would never pull the trigger, but anyway, I didn’t even know you could get a manual XJ-S in the states until a rare one came up for sale a few years ago.

Arguably an automatic suits the nature of this car better, as it is more of a boulevard cruiser than a sports car, but certainly unique enough that it adds value for someone who really wants a manual XJ-S.

A quick search on Facebook finds a 60,000 mile example in as good or better shape for essentially the same money https://www.facebook.com/share/XfiEzuqqTJezRjwR/ as well as several examples with lower miles for less.  I would shop around for a better deal.  No Dice.

Normally I am up for obscure little cars,  but this thing has all the charm of a 90s Hyundai.  No

Quick national search shows several examples of these with under 100,000 miles and manual transmission for under $10k.  If I want to spend as much as the ask for this one I can get the miles even lower.  Nice car, high price, No Dice.

Have you ever driven one?  They are a blast to zip around in.  Much more fun than a contemporary Miata, or, in my opinion, other MR2s.

Without getting into the best and worst MR2 generations or MR2 vs. Miata or MR2 v. Boxster (hadn’t thought of that, but yeah, prices are in the same range) I will just say I like these cars, they are agile and zippy, which is what a small sports car is supposed to be.

This looks like a good deal for somebody wanting decent, used transportation and doesn’t mind driving something older...at maybe $5500 or $6000, but I just can’t get up to $8k for a plain Jane twenty five year old Subaru.

The decals are troubling, it the deal killer for me is the aftermarket abomination in the dash. These had one of the coolest 80s stereos ever, and the dash and stereo, stock, are the coolest thing about this car.  No dice, but if it were closer to stock would be a nice price.

I think the price is about market correct if you want one of these, and they are pretty cool.

I would imagine with the wonders of the interwebs, marque specific clubs and European eBay, parts may be easier now than they were when these things were ten years old (in the US anyway).
