This price is high, but not as high as you make it seem. Yes, at $27,000 that is just a pipe dream for a car that was $32,000 new. But, it’s just 20% high. That car, with that mileage, is worth $24,000. Subtract for any evidence of off-roading, such as beat up skidplates, since there are enough Rubicons, Tacomas,…

I can imagine two instances where this would be a NP:

I was born the same year as this car. Getting into any pristine car from the year of my birth would give me an overwhelming sense of nostalgic comfort. It would take me back to a time when I still believed I could be happy someday, and that everything would be OK. It would take me back to a time when I still believed…

Well as read these are cabinet positions so this isn’t really anything new.

Shannon, modern cars don’t get funkier than the Nissan Juke. Plus the hatch makes them as dog friendly as can be. Here is a black Nismo version for $16k here in Austin.

I voted Crack Price because it has the air of a car that will probably have the “somebody else’s project” woes that can happen even when you put a good powertrain into car of another brand and era.

Ok, ya buncha jalopy cheapskates. Will nothing make you happy? Is nothing good enough for your refined palate?

I am going to go crack pipe on this. It is a pretty clean, attractive package, but it is an older Volkswagen, the miles aren’t that low, and it has the added complexity (and fail points) of that top.

Cars can and do often have a gender specific audience.

I learned to drive on an ‘81 Spider pretty close to this one (my dad’s was dark blue) when I was 14/15. My dad bought the car new shortly after I was born. It sparked a life-long love of similarly small, sporty cars: 350z, RX-8, 135i, M Roadster.

This is about as cheap as you’re going to find one and the miles aren’t too high and condition is good. From an objective point of view, yeah, seems NP. As much as I agree with the people who point at a Boxster or Cayman or Lotus as a cheaper and more maintainable choice; I don’t think any car is quite a small much of…

The Allanté is also notable for having what was once described as the “world’s longest assembly line” as the Pininfarina-built bodies were flown 4,600 miles from Turin to Detroit for final assembly, 56 at a time in a specially outfitted 747.

Crack pipe is correct.

I’d buy it. Mazda with a nice big V8 with most of the work done and a manual transmission? Sold. NP.

My gracious, NP, the rest of you put some gasoline on your ankles so the ants don’t climb up and eat your candy ass.

I’m a bit daunted by the folks saying CP because the seller doesn’t state XYZ.

If I was raising a crop of dental floss in Montana, this would be a perfect little truck to accompany me and my pygmy pony.

I remember driving these. My sister had a 1980 320i. I’m a guy who doesn’t mind low-powered cars - I had a 1971 2002 at the time. The 320i just felt like a lump, despite the extra cog. Wallowed around corners with those heavy and ugly bumpers at the extreme ends. That upcoming generation of 3 and 5 series had some…
