That looks like a car I could design and build.

These look like one of those VW based Kit Cars that try to imitate a 30s Mercedes with fake side-pipes and all that. This has the added ridiculousness of the tiny Fiat drivetrain. At least the kit cars have a Beetle motor. This is gutless and Diceless

ND just because it’s so damn fugly.

It was a little too steep before we got to the salvage title.

I was a reluctant NP until the salvage title thing.  ND.

It’s very clean, and well maintained. But it’s extremely overpriced.

This week’s theme; Nice Dice. Nice cars for too much money.

By the way, I believe that the Fox Body Mustang and its SN95 offspring are the only ones in the model’s history to wear the Ford Blue Oval badge. All prior versions used the FORD block letter badge and every one since (including the electric five-door Mustang-in-name-only) has used Mustang badging solely.

ND - that paint is actual trash - even if it wasn’t, this ain’t worth much more than half of that ask.  Would be a good parts car though - probably worth more in parts than whole anyway.

Author’s clearly didn't read the request lol

A fellow came into my yard recently saying our $29888 Camry with $ 9888 on the windscreen should be sold to him for that. The prick wouldn’t shut up, “I’m an accountant” he declares, clearly someone had removed the 2. In the end had to tell him to eat a bag of dicks and piss off.

I still think the Panamera is ugly as sin, but at $18,000 I’ve got to admit it looks a bit less ugly.

Bingo. Moreover the same $20k will get you a newer used Toyota or Honda than it would a used luxury brand. In a “year or so” you’ll likely even be able to sell it for pretty much what you paid for it if this crazy market keeps up, and will have likely spent zero on repairs other than wear items like tires and wiper…

No kidding. This seems like a list of things not to buy.

You can TASTE the contempt. I love it.

Hmm, this concept of offering what someone deserves instead of what they requested intrigues me. If he rejects a Lexus because it’s just a fancy Toyota and he can’t stand the idea of his family and their au pair sitting in something that close to being common, then I would fully agree that he deserves something that…

Prestige brand SUV and Jersey already has me in snark mode. My personal recommendation would be the nicest possible Mazda5 but that’s neither prestige nor SUV. More seriously a used Lexus RX is the best balance of badge “luxury” and running costs. Or possibly an equivalent Acura. Either one gives you some fanciness…

I might as well have stopped reading after the Lexus. John should have put unreliable and wallet-eater on his ‘must have’ list in order to fully qualify the Merc and Porsche.

I just tried to look up Super Beetle prices on cars.com and almost choked on my coffee.

Not really “bleeding edge” anymore, they’re proven at this point, just a matter of if the mixture of upsides versus downsides works for you, maybe it doesn’t but increasingly it does for many.
