Heather Firemist is the most creative name for a stripper ever. The car is not (quite) worth 14K. ND

There are certain old cars that, when you see them, are almost always some level of fright pig. People long ago stopped caring enough to keep them nice. And then one like this reminds you that even those cars were once shiny and fresh, with a proud owner. It’s jarring and kind of fun to see. But it’s not $14K fun.

2nd gear: The US isn’t going to ban gas cars for a long time.

It’s beautiful, but too much money for a “driver” and I imagine it is not special enough to sit preserved in a collection. I vote ND.

Don’t know about where you live, but in the Richmond, VA area, delivery time on a new one is being quoted as four to six months.

I was about to say that this price seems in line with the market, but I didn’t consider the tax credit.

Agreed. Used 2017 with 45k miles for $18k, or brand new 2023 with 0 miles for $19k? Take the new, obviously.

Thanks for the clarification. Changing my answer then.

100% agreed. On its own, $18k for a competent EV in good shape like this is a fair deal, but the new ones are now so shockingly inexpensive that it turns this into ND. Also doesn’t help that the newer ones are a truly newer model, and with EVs I would tend to lean towards getting the newest battery technology.

I think they are considering the $4,000 tax credit for used EVs under $25,000 in that price. But I agree, this should be sub-$15,000 sale price.

Yes. There are too many dealers sitting on used electric cars that haven’t woken up and smelled the coffee that the tax credit is back for most new EV purchases. Perhaps a few buyers as well.

Do people just wake up one day and go “I’m going to list my car for sale” and then they take pictures without even cleaning out the Fritos bag or whatever is sitting on the center console? Or removing the nasty seat cushion? I’m not saying you need to get a pro detailer over, but come on.

Hmmm 18000 for a 6yo 44K mile Bolt... OR 20K for a brand new Bolt no one has own...... Decisions decisions. 

Don’t forget the duct tape

This is a stinking Fiat. A Fiat in drag, but still a Fiat. NFD

my thoughts as well, though mine would likely be made of plywood and 2 x 4s.

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.
