All I had to see was that interior. Beautiful. I still see plenty of these things around here, but they’re almost always clapped out and “modded” into oblivion. The only problem I would have with owning this is that part of me would feel bad about putting wear on such a pristine example.

Really, they’re mostly good people who’s hands are tied by company procedure. In my experience, if you cut them a break and try to play nice, they’ll generally try to do what they can for you.

Seriously. I bought my Saabaru with less than half the mileage of this for right around the same price. I would love to have this Tercel, but I just wouldn’t be able to bring myself to do it at this price.

Just to be that guy...

I can’t click NP enough! These things are FANTASTIC little cars. They’re light, tossable, and with that SRT swap I imagine that it’s just downright fast. If you buy a Neon and expect any sort of refinement or quality materials, you’re in for some serious disappointment. If, however, you take this car for what it is—a…

LBJ disagrees with this statement.

If a no-haggle policy is going to work anywhere, I would imagine that it would have the best shot with a brand such as Lexus. As an up-scale brand, they COULD use the haggle-free policy to try and sell the idea that they place a greater emphasis on customer service and satisfaction (which, from what I’ve heard, isn’t…

It’s because Audi uses a longitudinally mounted all wheel drive layout. The front differential is integrated into the transmission, and, thus, pushes the engine ahead of the front axle. Subaru is the exact same way, the engine sits well ahead of the front axle.

And in my area (Eastern Kentucky, so also coal country), a lot of the guys driving those coal trucks are absolutely terrifying. I drive a Saabaru (WRX) in a somewhat spirited manner, and it was not an uncommon occurrence to be passed by an overloaded coal truck barreling down a twisty country road.

Huh... I never knew that about the Duratec V6. I always thought it was a decent engine, my first car was a Contour equipped with the 2.5L V6, and I absolutely loved that car.

I know nothing about what trucking companies pay, so if this is an attempt to undercut older, more experienced drivers who just want fair pay, I would be very much in opposition to this bill.

An 80s turbo Japanese car with a manual transmission that has not only managed to avoid rusting into oblivion, but actually appears to be relatively clean and well maintained? Oh, and they’re only asking a hair above $3,000? NP all day long!

I’m just going to leave this here.

This gets a NP vote from me. I had a friend who had an early model Intrepid as his first car (it was purchased somewhere around 2005 with some ridiculous sum of miles on it, like 10,000—it had actually been owned by an old man who only drove it to church on Sundays), and I remember being amazed at how comfortable that…

As a Saabaru owner, you have my deepest sympathies.

You also have a certain segment of the population that listens to the drivel being fed to them by certain media outlets, and firmly believes that some generic existential threat (the government, terrorists, illegal immigrants, gang members, etc.) is lurking around every corner, and, thus, feels the need to walk around…

Umm... thanks for the spoiler.

As much as I would LOVE to remove terrible drivers from the road, doing so does, essentially, equate to taking away their livelihood throughout much of rural America.

Yeah, this thing is just straight up beautiful. When I went to the Lane Motor Museum, I was struck by how gorgeous nearly all of the old Tatra cars they had on display were.

Agreed!
