The headaches are not worth the weight savings, that’s for sure.

At $4.000 this looks like good value for some classic ‘murican luxury, but it would end up costing much, much more once you factory in an engine swap or tons of upgrade parts this so desperately needs. And at $7.000-ish it’s very steep for a car which isn’t that desirable to begin with. CP for me

Is this some attempt at trolling or something? Because I can’t see anywhere in your article a quote by the owner saying he had to replace all that stuff because it broke. The ad has been taken down as of now, so maybe it was said there, in which case nevermind this rant, but the vast majority of what’s in that list…

That isn’t even minimum requirements to be an enthusiast, that’s the bare minimum you should be able to know in order to even operate a motor vehicle on public roads.

If Snap On are smart, they could make a marketing campaign out of this.

As I recall, the ICE range-extender is an optional extra.

Man I wish we had more “U-pull” style junkyards like this in my country. I only know about one of those around here, but the vehicle selection they have isn’t really that varied.

Agreed on your line of thought, and I tend to think along the same lines. However, I think we are supposed to “judge” the asking price as the final transaction price, like “would I pay 2.500$ for this car?”, not counting any negotiating or bargaining.

Just to illustrate what I meant by my previous reply, since they won’t let me edit it anymore.

Wouldn’t higher braking torque cause you to reach the traction limit quicker, though? I would think that could cause a small reduction in braking distance when stopping from high speeds in a track.

On my college roommate’s car we found a crack pipe under the back seat, a sword in the truck and multiple pipe fittings.

I am probably the world’s biggest SUV hater, and it pains me a lot that I find this very attractive. It looks like a fat, tall F-Type.

NP.

I’m so in the mood for classic Jaaaaags today, and this seems to be very tastefully modded. What the hell, NP.

Toyota dominates US market, and VW dominates the Euro market. It’s been like that for as long as I can remember.

Have swedish car, can confirm.

Do you have a reliable source which shows those engines doing 8k RPM? In all telemetry shots I’ve ever seen the redline was always around the 5k RPM mark.

I simply don’t understand how nobody seems to realize that. It drives me insane. People compare apples to peanuts and try to draw conclusions. The reason diesels have “a lot of torques, bro” is because those things have been using high pressure turbocharging since the dawn of time, ‘cos no knock. Take any contemporary…

Having seen nothing but stop-and-go slow city traffic and probably only reached operating temperature once or twice in its entire life can’t have been good for that car, either. Hence why I wouldn’t be immediately scared away from a truck in the 250.000 mile range at that age, but wouldn’t touch an “elderly owned,…

Considering it only done 40.000 miles in 13 years, I’m assuming it sat for at least half of those years. It surprises absolutely no one that all seals would leak. I know absolutely nothing about Cherokees, but it does sound to me like your car is not a particularly good example.
