I didn't know they were that rare. There were two running around my hometown in the late 80s — probably owned by the owners of the Chevy dealer, I guess.
Neither did I, and I knew at least five people who owned a SportTrac between 2000-now. But I saw one on the list of Craig — white with black interior. It was at a shady buy-here-pay-here lot about a block from my wife's grandmother's house so I drove past it. They were pretty rare.
There's one for sale on my local Craigslist:
I've seen hundreds of these — But I did see one for sale with 4wd and a 5-speed. It was an 01 or 02 model and I figured that's pretty rare.
Trabant used a plastic reinforced with paper and wood cellulose. Or goat food.
Our shop is cutting a 2' by 3' hole in the roof of a Ram 1500 Laramie Ecodiesel. Perforated, top stitched leather on the seats, Embossed headrests, a nice top-stitched vinyl on the dash and door panels, excellent ergonomics, and heated/cooled seats with coolers that actually work and don't just blow cold air into the…
A CPO Accord would be ok. Honda has the 100,000 mile CPO warranty for that car.
Easy: Civic Si. I drove two for work in the past few months. I've never been a Honda guy even though I did own an old Accord wagon. Every Honda I had driven before the '14 Civic Si was basic transportation. Sure, my friend's Integra GS-R had a rev-happy four-cylinder and a slick shifter but it still wasn't…

It met its end when a truck driver made some horrible mistake at the top of a steep parking lot. A 48' trailer rolled down the hill and over…

yeah... We traded the 97 accord wagon on the Kia when we found out the head gasket was going. $1000+ repair (because I can't do a head gasket myself and it would require new timing belt and water pump, machine work, etc...) on a $2000 car when the Kia dealer was offering good deals... It made sense. The Honda was a…
This is the exact situation my wife and I are in with her B6 Passat. Bought on a 4 year loan with a low down payment and extended warranty (that won't pay for the electrical issues that keep killing her battery, the strange and wonky lighting issue, and the oil burning through the turbo.) So we owe about $10,000 on a…
they were introduced in 85 and most were dead or rusted out by 1992.
It was all this guy:
