NADA says top dollar for an ‘84 Jetta with a diesel is about $2,800. I would put this example as “average” condition, which makes the asking price more than twice what it’s really worth.

Hagerty, my go-to for classic car valuations, has never heard of a ‘72 Fulvia 1.3S, though some rudimentary internetting proves it exists. The sedan was listed around $13k, and an identical coupe was listed on BAT a couple years ago for less than $20k.

NP. Because racecar.

Saab Sod It, more like. All those projector lamps on the front! All those weird lumps and bulges!

“Your Next” what? Your next National Champion?

Another Ford product in the grand tradition of looking like a 5-10 year old premium luxury brand. Looking at you, Aston-faced Ford Fusion....

Hagerty says a top-notch, concours-level example is worth $6,500; while an “excellent” example should command around $5,200. Seems like this bike is priced right where it needs to be.

But for only dollars a day, you can give this 318 a home, and make sure it never has to cower in fear at the sight of Chinese coilovers again.

Won’t somebody think of the poor, stanced Bimmers? Won’t you be the one to show it what real hooning is? <cue sad Celine Dion music>

I’m with you. Yes, poor decisions were made, but they are easily reversed. Think of it like rescuing a dog from an abusive owner.

Yeah, the seller seems to be asking Concours-level money for something the judges would laugh off the field. Whack five grand off the asking price, and then we can talk.

There are undoubtedly more original and nicer looking 914s out there, but it seems like you're not going to find one for less than $20k. At $10k, this thing is shabby enough to hoon it like hell without constantly worrying about breaking it, scratching it, etc. Not my cup of tea, but seems like a very high fun per…

This. Everything about this thread.

All that space in the back for activities! Nice Price.

In a word: everything.

Came here to post this. Tony Stark is just about the only superhero with both the skills and the inclination to work on cars. Many others (Batman, Dr. Manhattan) have the skills/resources, but would probably consider it beneath them or frivolous.

Top dollar, according to NADA, is $2,350 for this turd even before replacing the perfectly “meh” V-6 with an oil burner. So, let’s compare, shall we:

The only minivan I’m nostalgic about:

Mk. 3 VW Cabrio. My girlfriend (now my wife) owned one in college because sometimes stereotypes exist for a reason. Late ‘90s VW Golfs (and derivatives) were pretty awful in standard trim: heavy, slow and high-rise gremlin condominiums. Ours would intermittently have the speedo and radio crap out, and a transmission…
