The Sonnet is a weird, little, unloved car, but even it doesn’t deserve this. Due to non-existence of parts it’ll probably be nearly impossible to get this back to stock, which is too bad because these are quite rare, only 8300 IIIs were ever made, not that many came to the US, and may of them have since fallen off…

y’know, I’ve been saying for a while now that rich people should give up on Ferraris and Bugattis and stick to Lambos...
Now playing
and here’s a blown (supercharged, not turbo) 6-110 from a boat. That’s an ~ 11-liter, blown, two-stroke, straight 6.
But they have to make money on something. This is a business, not a charity.
also how a mechanical CVT (ala snowmobile or twist-n-go scooter) works, except most CVTs use rollers not balls... this allows you to more easily change the weight and diameter of the rollers to adjust ratio change rates.
ummm? (at least from the B-pillar back)
no, no, I know what I was saying. YES, that vehicle DOES have lots of negative caster angle, but it ALSO has extreme steering angle, no doubt to aid in low-speed city manoeuvrability.
wow, that is some serious steering angle... drift-ready!
I SAID; “SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB!”
ABSOLUTELY.
it appears that many of the bikers were white Christian males.
and I’ll just leave these here...
Oh, absolutely it IS a case of supply and demand, the thing is that the DEMAND is increasing. There’s evidence for this in the quote about the 300sl. It’s undeniable that the middle class is shrinking and as more and more people are pushed to opposite ends of the income curve the things that used to be bought by the…
It’s true, even basic used car values are up. Part of that is directly linkable to people being stupid and running with the “used is always cheaper” saw because they have LESS MONEY than they used too, and the idea of purchasing a new car seems out of reach to them, but they fail to do the math... this raises demand…
From Balaban’s Original Article:
CURSE YOU SUZUKI CARS AMERICA! Why did you have to suck so much/piss off the home office so much/be run into the ground by old Japanese executives giving their nephews and cousins jobs. (not that this would have come to the US anyway...)
These are Good Answers. But #10’s final sentence is wishful thinking. As long as the rich keep getting richer the market is only going to continue to go up. As long as the middle class keeps shrinking and people are pushed to the ends of the income spectrum in this country the value of classic vehicles will continue…
OMG. look at the SEATS.
