Yup. This is when you’re turning the handle on the Jack In The Box.
They’re really not.
Suspension/steering components are pretty stout and generally good for 150-200k miles before they even need looking at.
Convertors don’t generally go bad unless an owner neglects an underlying issue, but even then a factory convertor is $137...
Cooling system needs service around 100k, but is easily…
I mean, it’s a K car, you can literally rebuild the whole car from the ground up for $1500 and a weekend.
So even if it needs a complete rebuild, you’re out $4k and a weekend for a fun convertible run about.
I’m giving this a NP. And for a Chrysler product of this era really anything short of a wheelbarrow is an accomplishment. This is like an accomplished artist suddenly suffering a brain injury, and this car is the finger paintings on the road to recovery. It's certainly not it's best work, but forward progress is…
For a cheap convertible to run as a summer beater? Nice Price.
Wow! That’s a clean Daytona!
6.0L LS Swapped in Los Angeles, and only 3K miles since the swap was completed. Has current tags. Looking at more pics in the ad, registration is due in August. $5 that this thing is not a smog legal swap in CA, didn’t go about it the right way, and is looking to get rid of it before the registration comes due and it…
This is the right take. $16k is a pretty low barrier to entry for an exceptionally clean collector car, regardless of what badge is on it. This will turn as many heads as any muscle car will, and personally I’d rather have the cool mustard Toyota wagon than just about anything else from this time period anywhere near…
Isn’t that the point? We do call them “sleepers”.
It’s a perfectly nice vehicle, just not at that price. This person is reaching for the stars just because of the MT. In reality, I’ve seen these (with the MT) trade at closer to $7K.
I don’t even know where to start with this one. The seats look like they’re either from a W124 or W126 and just because the leather may have been more “rare” doesn’t it make it more desirable. MB Tex wears like nothing else on this planet - which is to say it doesn’t wear - and has none of the finicky upkeep that’s…
chip’d? check!
The issue is that the second-generation (NB) Miata is consider — totally unfairly — to be the red-headed stepchild of the Miata line.
I am a the most recent previous owner of this car. In fact, all the pictures (with the exception of the one in front of the diner) I took. I can say that when I sold it in early 2020, it was in a hell of a lot better shape than when I bought it in 2018. I miss it often, but since I owned two 1998 V70Rs, I held on to…
It’s a 40-year-old car with 81000 miles. 2000 miles a year isn’t anything. I’d bet it went bad from sitting for an extended time.
IIRC Mitsubishi had moved the Eclipse to the Gallant platform for this generation. That basically makes this a big floppy convertible sedan, kind of like the Solara or Sebring convertible. I don’t think the stick can overcome such meh underpinnings. That said, someone who just wants a sporty looking droptop will…
I kinda wish Murphy’s was more widely available. Used to find it at The Beer Store, but it has disappeared over the last couple years. Guinness gets all the fame, but Murphy’s is the best Irish stout.
