Easy NP — the earlier prefacelift 4.2s are in this price range (which are also pretty solid but nowhere near as receptive to mods as the 3.0). This is a great deal unless there’s some crazy shit hiding somewhere. Low miles, manual, service records, I’m in. I’d probably be throwing the same CAI and (I’d guess) tune on

Working? Its slow but still a work day in the middle of the week. I told my team to chill, enjoy the quiet and take off early this afternoon. Hopefully they do that.

I’d be a lot more concerned about the pickups that intentionally roll coal that at eye level than a hint of soot from an old merc.

I had 300SDs that I used for years as daily drivers and packed on a ton of miles. These cars are extremely comfortable, reliable, dependable, and easy to work on. Most cars featured here are “only enthusist” cars —these old mercs are the best way to get into wrenching as parts are generally pretty cheap, available,

no slides to click through. Every listing, all on one page, like you’ve always wanted

If you’re buying a Malaise-era Caddy for the driving dynamics, you’re doing it wrong.

If you want a Seville, go for baroque (ha!) and get the later bustleback. This one seems nice, but not particularly desireable/memorable.

I love this generation of Bentley (or really most of their line from the late 80s up until the continental), but bright red with blonde wood has to be the ugliest color combination possible.

I haven’t done in-depth research, but from my light googling over the last year or two it seems like this and the twin Subaru Solterra have very long charge times. Not so bad if you charge at home and overnight, but the fast charging is multiples longer than most/all rivals. 

Yeah I thought it was fishy too. My guess is the “Global EV Drivers Alliance” is a community of people who are pretty into their EVs....

Is it better or worse than spending a day fixing or replacing something you thought was broken, only to find that it didn’t fix the problem? This has been the recurring theme for 2 of my cars. One I think is a blocked oil passage somewhere in the block, and the other somewhere in a balck box tune the got corrupted,

It is a desperate move after realizing the entire value of their stock is inflated by their own stan-ism. We’re saying the same thing there, but it’s all they got before losing all of their money.

As a current owner of a wk2 trailhawk, I thought the prices were high back in 2021 when we bought ours (65k is a boatload, but fully loaded). New ones start even higher than that and most are 4xe. On the higher trim GCs, they FEEL like higher end SUVs, Jeep did a great job at that. But the lower trim models just get

And when it sinks under very mysterious circumstances, I’m sure Mr. Quadrozzi will have a sizeable insurance payout....

The Mini EV has never really been competitive. Not sure on the new models, but seems like one of those typically-GM moves “nobody bought it so we need to cut it”, when it was just poorly marketed and/or generally uncompetitive.

Early N63, absolutely not. I don’t know if the Alpina treatment solved a lot of the problems, but the early versions of this engine are among the most problematic to come out of BMW (although the revisions seem to be pretty solid). The rest of it...kinda looks ratty and worn more than anything— does not look pampered

A giant wall (that someone else pays for) definitely would have helped here but oh well. Thanks Liberals!

Temp tag and respray — this one will be a bit of a gamble. To be honest, if the seller can be talked down a bit I’d NP it, assuming there isn’t something totally FUBARd with the title or horrendous underbody rust or something. The automatic sucks but as an older cruiser that looks sharp and can be driven without too

These are cool, but I’d rather have an E550 — better built, faster to 60, lots of parts availability without an orphaned engine. The w212 update really put it miles ahead of the STS in every way, but even the w211 with the updated m273 engine is a great sleeper without going full E63

The 4L30E piqued my senses as well. It looks like this Trooper has a brake controller (I assume thats what is tacked on to destroy the drivers’ knee) and a hitch. This seems like a pretty weak transmission to be hauling and pulling much.
