She’s been robbed, this isn’t even close!

I think he means “during a lethal pandemic.”

There’s a lot to be said for the “Wisdom of the crowd” theory. Given enough voters, even if they use different criteria, the vote does turn out to be accurate.

Yup. 89 944 Turbo, though with only 18k, went for $67,000 last week, naturally on BaT, and everyone applauded. That’s just nonsensical.

But just because someone did that doesn’t mean they didn’t overpay for it, which is my point. $10k for  this particular 16 year-old car seems iffy to me. I’ve overpaid for a car, it doesn’t make you a bad person. But it does mean I still overpaid for the car.

Look I am old, and I’m so old school I drive an air cooled car and I hate traction control and I don’t feel good about anti-lock brakes and I think buttons on steering wheels are the Devil’s work.

There’s an increasing trend on NP/ND to say that “SOMEONE will pay for it, so I say Nice Price.” I don’t think we’re all voting with common definitions. Having spent enough time on BaT it seems to me that ,for any vehicle ever made, running or not, SOMEONE will likely pay for it, just because there’s always someone…

We’d make bank. We’d be the Citroen of the galaxy, the only ones making 2CVs, and since the galaxy is pretty, pretty big there’d always be SOMEENTITY that wants one. And then I would expect the BringASpaceTug site to quickly go nuts and entities will be paying three times as much as necessary for an ICE auto, just to…

It’s really a good car, and it’s the best car I’m willing to park on the street where I live. 70k miles and the only thing gone wrong was a tiny leak in the coolant reservoir that lost pressure and set off the caution alarm. Of course I’ve jinxed myself now! And it probably saved my life a few weeks ago when a car…

“The before times.” :(

So, similarly, if you’re asking this question you’re probably a person who won’t understand the answer, or at least to whom the answer is unimportant.

YOU THINK I’M GOING TO DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE JUST BECAUSE IT SAYS SO IN A MANUAL? WHAT ABOUT “PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY” HMMM? #FREEDOM

For this kind of money, with or without VAT, VW better stop sticking “R”s on cars that have simply upgraded their wheels. I have a MK VII R and I’m more than a little bitter to have paid for a well designed sports machine when others that are merely “ racing-inspired” also have the letter applied to the grill.

Huntsville is home to the Army’s Redstone Arsenal, which includes the Army Materiel Command, Army’s Aviation and Missile Command, the Missile Defense Agency of the Department of Defense, and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. Those are the activities that actually buy things so the vendors are next door

You are KILLING it here on Jalopnik, Mercedes! Keep it UP!

Run over. Crushed. Killed.

Point taken, they were never safe. Which is why highway fatalities of the time were relatively horrific. I submit that on today’s roads, with today’s traffic density and today’s SUVs/CUVs, Minivans, and proliferating pick-ups they are even LESS safe. In 1962 the average other vehicle wasn’t especially quicker to…

It’s the Moose and Squirrel test!

I see what you’re saying about using the phone as an interface but, as in so many cases, I WANT A KNOB!

I have a feeling that there was a shift from 948 to 1098 in the middle of the 62 MY. I often drove the 1275 Midget between North Carolina and New Jersey about 30 years ago and am convinced that none of these cars are safe for today’s major roadways. I’d bet 0-60 times are something like 15+ seconds and traffic flow…
