If you are going to get a Cadillac from the 70's make it a Coupe DeVille.

He expects me to pay $58,777 but cant even get a single picture of the interior, frunk or engine bay? I’ve sold $2000 beater cars with waaaaay more pictures than this.

This is one of those cases where “eminently forgettable” is totally okay. Like a Camry, like an ES300, the Millenia is a bit like Clark Kent. If you’re in the know, you know there’s a lot going on under that plain suit and affordable haircut. And everybody else, the ones who aren’t in the know, see just another guy on

because they are the only ones that can actually afford to pay living wages?

Sit in one, you’ll get it.

yup. when they were cheap they were fun.... but now taht its sooooooooooo fucking expensive to do anything on one of those.... not at all fun....

A 7k quarter million mile 4runner/tacoma of this generation is going to be far more reliable than basically anything else you can get for 7k regardless of the vintage.

It may be less a matter of not having “any concept of the current used car market” than it is of thinking the current used car market is insane.  This would be a NP at $4k, but right now it’s CP all the way.

I sure hope like hell that 3.4l V6 is a better engine than the 3.0l V6 it replaced. Because I owned a 94 4Runner with the 3.0l and that engine is a piece of crap!!!! Also I could practically watch my 4Runner turn into iron oxide dust just sitting in the driveway.

I’ll give it credit in one regard. That thing went down

Beat up body, 250,000 miles, nearly 25 years old, $7000. Crazy, no Dice.

I was at NP until I saw it has about a quarter of a million miles on it. I don’t care what the perceived quality of Toyota is. Any car with that many miles is a maybe a $3000 car at best. The body and interior are in great shape, it’s a 4WD with a stick. I mean... It’s really great, but only about $3K great. Maybe

“But it’s a Toyota” will only get you so far, and it doesn’t get me to $7k with >250k miles.

I blame OSHA. More of these fucks should be devoured by farm equipment.

If antivaxxers could just spontaneously evaporate, like a dipshit Rapture, I’d be cool with it.

Contrary to popular (American) belief, guns aren't the solution to every problem.

A few remarks

I might have to take a break on this column until the used car market becomes sane again.  Or, maybe I’m just getting old.

The fuck?

Blocking a driveway means you get run over? That’s questionable logic there, my dude. And yeah, if you’ve just attacked someone by ramming them with your car,  I think you can expect to get stuff thrown at you.

It reminds me of a trip I took to Maui years ago when these seemed to be the official rental car of the Islands. Good times!
