It would be an impressive one... pretty hard to fake a tornado AND taking 5 other lives with you. 

If you go by dollars/pound, the M5 Touring is really quite reasonable.  

Not really true over the past 3 years. Several manufacturers (notably Ford, but all of them) really filled the top end due to parts shortages.

to each their own I guess, I personally don’t find rock crawling particularly interesting, and SUVs are appalling to me, 0 grace, but eh I get it to a degree.

I get that ATP is the best metric we have to work with, but it’s kinda lousy. One of the reasons ATP is down is because of the change in inventory types. Owing to the shortages of the past several years, there are fewer cars for sale that are 1-4 years old than cars 5+ years old. Older used cars are cheaper, so this…

Rawdogging means precisely one thing, and it is not that.

I’m 100% going to wake them up or climb over them before I hold it for 15 hours. Not sure I’d make it more than 5 hours before I’m getting out of that seat.

If they bothered to swap in a less ridiculous and more modern transmission and kept the AC working, I’d be in on this price. It isn’t perfect, but it’s very cool. Pair those two issues with the dubious sourcing of the SBC swap and it’s a ND for me.

If done right (and completely), a good SBC engine is the way to go. More power, economy, reliability, maintainability. Should have included a swap to a more modern transmission.

Someone should have added this to the list of “Red flags in car ads” from the other day - “chevy 350 engine!” or “swapped with SBC!”

This seems like the Silicon Valley “Revenue?! NO. No revenue!!” thing. If Tesla wanted to make money selling cars in India makes sense, but instead it’s whole value and brand is tied up in potential.

“Companies are using invasive technology to violate the rights of our citizens in unthinkable ways,” Paxton said in a statement. “Our investigation revealed that General Motors has engaged in egregious business practices that violated Texans’ privacy

Depreciation: then go buy a slightly used EV that has already been hit with the depreciation hammer. That’s what I did and with the $4k tax credit it was a fantastic deal!

Yup. “Just needs” is your introduction to endless problems. A filthy lie indeed. I’ll buy a clapped out project car if everyone on both sides of the sale knows that’s what is for sale. But I won’t buy a car pitched as a working car when it “just needs” anything. It is a sure sign that the owner is in the process of…

“Just needs”
Came here to say and/or reinforce this.
It is a lie.
A filthy lie.
I would be more excited about a picture of a rusted roller than a pristine car that ‘just needs’ plug #6 replaced (or any electrical part).  One is honest and the other is not.

Facebook marketplace is proof that hope springs eternal.

This is mine. “oh sure it has 17 warning lights when you try to start it, it just needs a cabin air filter which I don’t have time to install, but I will include”

“Just needs.” There’s no such thing as just needs. If it just needs a $300 freon charge do it and ask for $500 more. But you know it’s not that. It needs a $1,500 in compressor/clutch/lines work. If it just needs an 02 sensor to pass inspection, buy the $50 thing and put it in. But you know it’s not that. It needs…

A photo of the car that is not of the actual car.

Oh, god, yeah. Half the time the biggest red flag is not the car’s condition. It is the seller is an arsehole. No car is enough of a unicorn to make dealing with some people worthwhile.
