Is that before or after replacing all the dry rot rubber belts, hoses, tires, gaskets, etc and anything else that deteriorates with time rather than usage?

#1 vehicle I hated working on back in the day, especially to perform smog tests on. EVERY time I’d burn myself trying to get underneath to clip the RPM lead on #1 cylinder to try and shoot the timing marks 3 feet away on the FEAD.

Damn, why all these dogs be barking right now? did someone blow a whistle or something?

The problem is Toyota/Honda have very high resale for economy vehicles, especially in these days of inflated used car prices. This is why the true broke person’s choice will be American. They are cheaper to buy, and while they are not as reliable they are also typically cheaper to repair when they do break.

I mean... I, the armchair auto-enthusiast, think that Toyota is picking the right path here. Hybrids and PHEVs in the short term and let everyone else eat massive R&D costs into some technological dead ends. Solid state batteries (soon) and super caps (further out) were always going to be the long term solution. Both…

Those numbers are pretty incredible and if they achieve even 50% of their targets it will make existing EVs essentially worthless without retrofitting the new battery technology.

It is one of the reasons I just purchased a new ICE car. When doing the math, the premium paid for an electric car will never break even…

Good. I think Chevy needs to keep around nameplates longer than they do.

It’s one of the nicest examples of an undesirable car I’ve ever seen. Nice price for someone really wants a car like this without having 99 problems to sort out. I don’t know how many buyers fall into that odd category, but I’m sure they are out there.

It’s not just you, but I don’t feel that way. When I finish building something with Legos I don’t play with it. I just want to build something else.

I like this truck a lot but that driver’s seat alone tells me this is not a $17k vehicle. 

I think a lot of times people do it as a hobby and when its done they realize they just have the same crappy example of some car with a better engine, and don’t want it anymore. 

Not just you.

Maybe it is just me, but whenever I see a listing where there was an engine swap or some other major rebuild or swap done just 2-3k miles prior, I wonder if the owner is “sick of this POS” and trying to cash out before it strikes their wallet again.

I was about to say I LOVE it but was overpriced but then looked closer at the pictures. There is something very suspicious about that paint job and the body overall. The pictures aren’t very good quality but to me it looks like a few body panels aren’t aligned. And if you look at picture of the raised hatch around the…

nope.

Am I the only one who’s kind of skeptical of a car this old that has less than 40k miles on it?

“people will pay $50k for a low mile one.”
