Other than the maybe headlights (doubtful but hard to tell) and tinted windows what isnt OEM? Color nose beak, was a factory and dealer option, and body kit? OEM. The tailpiece is as well but I think I made my point.

Nothing about a P38, or any Land Rover from that era is reliable. Ask me how I know...

You couldn’t PAY me to take that RS6.

I’m not sure if any of those constitutes as “reliable”.

3/4 for actual real suggestions?  This must be an all time record.

I’m in the veeeerrrry early stages of finding a car for my daughter in the 6k range (8k tops), and I’m finding something weird going on. I’m looking at the Subaru Legacy and I’m finding that craigslist has worse cars listed at similar prices as used car lots, even dealer lots. So for the same kind of money I get a car…

How is everyone supposed to know how great I’m doing like that? I need a 3 year old, off-lease, base 3-series to let everyone know I’m better than them.

Why buy a 9 year old Mercedes with 140,000 miles when you could literally do anything else with $7500 and probably come out further ahead?

Why not just buy a < $5000 beater and continue saving money then? It seems the $12~$15K market is tricky.

My normal advice would be: go to Craigslist. Type “Camry” (or Accord/Civic). Buy the newest one you can for $5000.

Miata thinks S2K is 450 lbs. overweight.

All I can see is XJS... but one in the image has lights on and moving... so it can’t be

“Hey honey, gotta work on the car today. This should only take me an hour or so, and I’ve got everything I need already.”

Terrible advice. Vehicles in the $4,500-range will be just as reliable as $10k-$15k vehicles, so long as you don’t buy above your price range. There’s no need for the 18-year-old kid to sink himself in debt so soon. Hell, I bought a ‘95 Civic for $1k when I was 16, and it lasted me 100,000 kilometres and 5 years, and…

You’ll find that, while ostensibly a site for car enthusiasts, Jalopnik is really a site for warranty enthusiasts.

Couldnt a cam, pully, and reflash give you even more power on a Hellcat, all for like $3,000?

That automatic-listed-as-manual thing is an absolute epidemic on Autotrader. Especially on non-sports cars. A few years ago I was looking at compact luxury cars and had Manual as one of the criteria. It felt like 9 out of 10 were automatics. Sometimes they would double-down and say something stupid like “Yeah it’s…

R34, illegal, but lifted diesel pickups blowing black exhaust into the air is legal.

Well I suspect people are gonna crucify the driver, but I bet anybody would space out after riding around for an hour or two without touching the controls.

It’s supposed to have LIDAR or similar sensors which detect obstacles in front of it - whether or not they’re illuminated. Part of the point of these autonomous vehicles is that they’re supposed to have better ways to detect potential problems than a human driver, and this shows that wasn’t the case.
