When the transmission in my father's Beetle started going bad a few years back, we decided we wanted to stretch our limited budget as far as it could go so we picked out an '04 Jag Vanden Plas which has a salvage title. And it's been one of the absolute best cars we've ever owned. Sure, there's no horn, we're pretty…

All or nothing, Mr. DeMuro. All or nothing.

Really? I had no idea the new Accord came with 4 corner heated and venilated power adjustable massaging seats and radar cruise control and wood and leather covered everything.

Better, but I'd still rather buy two Jag XJ Super V8s for that money.

If it's on craigslist, haggling is probably a given.

I have to say I'm quite surprised the original Saturn SL1 hasn't shown up yet. They're a fuel economy legend! Maybe it's because there aren't any on ebay. But I can't believe an old SL1 would go for anywhere near $5000. And we'll get to some off-ebay listings in a minute. 1995 is the year to go for. It's the last year…

The Lincoln Motor Company, established 2010. And we'll fight to the death anyone who suggests otherwise...

It really does sadden me that my Continental is the last Lincoln (other than something classic) that I'm ever going to own and drive every day. Unless something changes, I'm off American cars. But I don't think that picure up there is a very funny joke. Because if it were real, I'd have two. I think that's absolutely…

Superior? Perhaps.

I'm kinda feeling like a $5000 old XJR with decent miles would be just as fun and serve more or less the same purpose...and I could buy two....I could buy two old Super V8s for that price.

Well, the most obvious answer is a delimited Mercedes. A delimited AMG Mercedes. A 65 is way to expensive, but you can get a 55 for 15 grand. And this 2004 SL 55 AMG seems to be the only proper one in "negotiating-range" of 15 grand (who the hell asks $15,400 for a car anyway? Not, $15,495? $14,995? Nope, guy has to…

Wasn't his brother the bespoke Ferrari hoarder who has kept every FX, Mythos, F90 and 456 Venice out of the hands of people who might actually drive them?

Say somebody never got over the whole Deville Fleetwood Brogham Eldorado d'Elegance Biarritz thing becuase it's impossible to communicate a kind of Amerian, old-money class and sensibility with just numbers and letters? (with the exception being the Germans who have been doing it since day one, so they aren't ripping…

The S600? I really want one too. I'm hoping to make my next car a W220 S600 within the next year, actually. I was aware of them, but I didn't fall head over heels in love until I read Tavarish's original article about his flip of an '03. I highly recommend you seek that out first and read it if you haven't already.…

2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 - Buy it now: $19,980

"Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."

Fun Fact: Did you know the Versa, the Accent, Focus, Cobalt, Spectra, etc. all come fitted, as factory standard with a crushing sense of dispair and inadequacy? You won't find that on any Lexus!

Any Panther platform sedan (my preference would be the Town Car Cartier). The Regular Car Review of the 1994 Town Car is all the evidence you need.

There's an equation I like to use to determine the viability of an investment in a regular daily driven vehicle and how long one must own it to avoid an "unreasonable" depreciation hit and it is based on everybody's favorite automotive cop-out: the Toyota Camry. Assuming you get the standard LE 4 banger model…
