I have the answer.

Super excited for what looks like a spectacular buy (I will forever have a soft spot for the Z32)...but...

My wife’s friend is a young widow with 3 kids whose Pacifica is on its last legs.  An $8k 300ZX is not the answer to her problem, and I suspect that is going to be the case for 90-95% of the shoppers out there.

30+ cars all in the same lake seems more like insurance fraud to me.  

You guys are missing the point. The correct answer is a Euro-import 1990/1991 Audi Ur-Quattro with the 20v RR engine. It’s a classic, only came with a manual, has lots of room, very quick for the time (get it chipped & tuned to 300+ HP), AWD, and it’s a true, understated sports car for the discerning driver. As long…

This might be the worst comment I’ve seen on this site

I am sorry you went through that is not the same as I am sorry I made a mistake.

Better them sitting in a stationary idling car than taking it out for a joyride

The only difference from the outside between this and an XLT Sport was the roof basket, tire brand, and the thumbnail-sized model badge on the rear hatch reading NBX instead of XLT. I’m willing to bet that even the dealership salespeople couldn’t tell you what it was at the time. It’s like trying to tell the…

The Aviators (and the AWD explorers) of that vintage ate through wheel bearings like it was their job.  I literally had to do all 4 wheel bearings on an Aviator.  They require a press and are not very fun to do.

Low range is nice for low speed work, not sure you need it as traction is usually an issue for mine first.

I rather like the early cross-eyed ones, the slightly cartoonish look that is utterly at odds with the very very grown-up near supercar that no-one expects. Either would do nicely though.

Well that brings back memories. My first new car (second car overall) was an ‘85 Escort I bought just before my wife and I got married. It shifted great, better than any other manual I’ve ever driven. The 1.6L engine in it was a dog, though, with a fatal design flaw. It didn’t have a PCV system, and eventually…

Certainly checking the CarFax is a good idea, as is a third-party inspection if you can get one. But man, it probably wouldn’t occur to me to check to make sure the catalytic converters were still there. I mean, I will check from now on after this, I guess.

My dad was an electrical engineer and could play with a multimeter for a few minutes to pinpoint a short or ground fault in his MGB.

This can be fixed right? People are putting LS (somethings) into Miata’s surely you can swap a crate motor into one of these.

It may fling the rest of the attached parts into the universe but...

I was a fan of the original PT. Unfortunately the post 2006 refresh of the PT really cheapened it (thanks Daimler)by removing the solid bumpers and replacing them with the solid facade along with the revised Tupperware grade dashboard led to its demise. It wasn’t just the Caliber that was a replacement for the PT but…

Bingo. There is little here that says “E class coupe” to me, despite the overall dimensions being similar (which is a bit misleading because the added length is in the rear overhang, not the wheelbase). While I’m glad MB is still offering a coupe at all, this very much feels like charging more for a C-class coupe.

I had two...an 01 limited stick so slow you couldn't use air conditioning and keep up with traffic, and a factory tuned 03 turbo with dual exhaust they had to pry away from me. ( They means wife). But that suckered could haul sheets of plywood or take two kids whether they liked each other or not...it lived to be…

Didn’t think of that.  I was just thinking if I am buying some over priced profit center from the F&I guy, I’d rather it be a factory warranty that might actually be useful some day.  The paint, fabric, wheel/tire, key warranty most certainly will be worth jack shit.
