Not bad, about the same mileage as my old Land Rover!

Everyone is looking at this the wrong way. This isn’t your street parked daily driver that you park next to your 90's civic. This is your 3rd car that you use when you’re going out. This car with it’s lavender paint is a bit of theater, and should be used as such.

These came with a manual here in the states, super rare though.

You have a good point. I’m 45, and I’m considering a used Panamera...

They were also the only way to and from the ISS after we mothballed the shuttles. We’ve been hitching a ride with the Russians for a while.

Whatever the most well-maintained newer (last decade) Honda/Toyota that fits your budget and they feel comfortable driving.  You want something safe, and reliable.

I’ve owned a couple knock-off watches, and enjoyed the hell out of them. I honestly am impressed with the level of detail that a lot of these forgeries go through. Honestly, if you buy something that looks 95% identical for 10%, why not?

Those sticky plastics were a recall item.

Also, the Solara is a rather uncomfortable car to live with. Road noise is insane with the cloth top, the front seats are not comfy after about 20 minutes of driving. My mom has one and likes it a lot, but again, she’s 76.

So much wrong, where to start!! “off and on in storage for 15 years” = replace every seal/hose/etc because they are all dry-rotted, including the tires. On top of a whole everything flush and fill to see if it even runs.

Now playing

First Gen Audi RS6 wagon. They brought us the sedan, but left that sweet wagon across the pond. 4.2 liter, twin turbo v8 putting out 450 hp to all 4 wheels. What’s not to love?

If they opened up the fund drive worldwide, they would probably rake in 10x that amount.

Memory seats! Nothing is more annoying than getting in your car after someone else drove it and spending 10 minutes getting everything back to where it should be. My old a6 spoiled me with memory seats/side mirrors.  It was also the first time I experienced the decadence of a heated steering wheel.

My heart screams NP!!! But my brain is saying “Yup, I’m with you on this”. Yes “quirky manual wagon” is my catnip. Yes, the miles a bit high, there’s some maintenance that is coming due, but, and this is a sweet wagon but; This car is in BEAUTIFUL shape, service records from new!! and some major (and costly)

Used one after swapping a MINT but smoker owned interior into my last car. Plugged it in, and let it run overnight. Next morning it smelled like nothing. Not even the base “interior of a car” smell we all know. 

No dice. There are tons of nicer/newer 4 runners around that haven’t been dinged on every panel. He’s about 2k too high, even with the stick shift. The tons of maintenance helps, but only with receipts from a reputable shop.

How is this any different from someone putting M badges on a 318i? At least swap out some Saab interior/trim/something. It’s like he went on ebay and bought some badges. This is just lame, and crappy article about how someone tarted up a Bolt. 

23k will get him a nice AWD SUV with low miles and decent spec: like this CR-V

For what this is, it’s a pretty decent price. Looks like he’s replaced a couple of the MAJOR headaches of the vehicle (that air suspension was absolute trash) and it has the right motor in it (though an LS swap is super easy in these) The interior is beautiful (because it’s all new). Barring any scary cancer in the
