I like these trucks but don’t know too much about them. Can you help me understand why the 114 HP 22-RE is so much more desireable than a 150 HP v6? Fuel economy? reliability?

This is a perfect graduation present. To teach that little sheltered bastard that the world is a cold cruel place that will hurt you. 

If you didn’t read that paragraph and think “yeah, I’ve done that...I get it”, we probably wouldn’t be friends.

Amen, brother! It could have a sign on it saying, “ This will drive you to divorce, bankruptcy, and an early grave!” , and we would >still< lust after the impractical steed. That’s the Jalop Way

as, I’m sure, memories made on the actual bus.

For $25k I am pretty sure most negotiations will include the person saying ‘I know what I have’.

$14,000 of my money? CP

This is the “what is the best car secret you know” thread, not “what is the most blasphemous shitpost you can write” thread.

Seller has no earthly idea what $36,000 can get you on the used RV market. Also 113hp for a vehicle that likely weighs more than 5000lbs? GTFOH...

What is the scrap value for something like this? The asking price seems to be below that.

The drivetrain in these is extremely robust. Chevy drove one for 24 hours....at 175 mph. I wouldn’t worry about that part of the car at all. Yes, the interior will be full of rattles, and something in there may very well break off. So what. You want a lower mile one? You are going to pay $20k, and it is still going to…

For a BMW to have reached 300k they would have had to maintain the hell out of it. NP.

cp.... i like it... but for that price id rather buy 10 normal miatas and start my own backyard racing league....

Running Windsor powered tank for under 2k? HELL YES. Shine the ol’ girl up, grab some Whitesnake tapes, and head to Radwood with this thing.

Uh. Holy shit.

Does JC Whitney sell these top-of-the-line scrapers? If I go to my local Mercedes dealership will they sell me one?

I actually really like this car. It looks like an Italian engineer saw the Honda CRX, and said, “It’s okay, but it’d be better if it was way more complicated and busy-looking.”

So this thief’s methodology is to ... Passat on?

I gotta be honest here. I’m actually pretty impressed that this thing looks as good as it does. This clearly wasn’t built by some idiot that just learned how to lay fibreglass at his mom’s arts and crafts workshop.
