Finally, a crossover with a special storage compartment for my trusty telescope!

I’d agree but usually there’s a bit of entertainment and sarcasm involved in troll posts

I’ve always been a big fan of these, just an elegant design. For 20k though I think a Merc would be at the top of the list. 20k will get you into a decent period SL600 which gives comparable performance.

Design wise, I quite like it. Maybe someday they can resolve the massive wagoneer quality issues and make it worth the money.

You realize most sailboats have motors (for harbor/marina maneuverability and local no-wind situations), and if there are people on board you have gray and wastewater, and food waste.

The door is (hopefully) just cracked open in a lot of these pictures. The rear bumper however...yikes. I like the idea of the later style retrofit (I quite prefer the later S4 rear as well) but some more time spent on fitment would do wonders. I like the spec and the idea but not the execution.

my 2010 e550 has the column shifter.

Great parts car. If you have or are working on an old colt and don’t want to keep running to ebay for stuff, this seems like a pretty good deal. Unfortunately there aren’t many people driving or restoring old colts (idk, maybe I’m wrong here). NP if you’re in the single digit totals of people doing that, ND for…

yeah mechanically I’d much rather have this gen. The design of the first gen really is the only selling point. A GTI is much cheaper, widely available, practical, etc. My mom has a mk4 thats soldiering on through 300k without issues but they took care of it.

If you want an old TT, the first gen is the one to get. The original design is still gorgeous and distinctive. This generation is nowhere near as polished and aesthetically pleasing...the mechanicals are typical VAG from the era which...is neither good nor bad. That said, this is a no-mans land for the TT, especially…

I love the look of it, except for all the snaps. I realize that’s the old tried-and-true removable top fastening method, but they just look janky. It would be better if they just left the roof off and kept this a sunny day car (its in SoCal already...). Like others, have questions about how it affects rigidity as…

60* V6 will run for a long time if reasonably maintained, and this seems like a good driver. For 4k seems like a great deal and not something you’d be afraid to daily and maintain. 

Virtually every “easy money” “side husle” etc. influencer in the last 2 years has talked about car washes, ATMs, vending machines and laundromats as profitable, easy money. All the people who tried to invest in STRs have gone to these businesses as easy money investments.

It’s got a clean title but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been binned. Panel gaps on both front fenders don’t look right to me. The passenger side fender has certainly had some sort of repair or paint work to it (poorly- it’s chipping around the wheel well), and even the trunk doesn’t look quite straight to me but could…

In classic GM form, the engine and mechanicals are shared across a number of different platforms. GM has used the LTG engine across a bunch of different models including the camaro, caddillacs, including a bunch of their mass market CUVs. I would be worried about body panels and trim, but the rest is quite a bit of par…

Great price and great condition for the price. I had a couple of 300SDs and loved them, always wanted to drive a 350 but never had the chance. I wouldn’t call them fast by any means, but certainly adequately powered, even today. This being a california car, looks to be no rust -- in the northeast you’d be paying…

Its certainly a nice example, but 20k puts you in turbo territory. I wouldn’t expect a turbo this nice to be 20k, but then again I woudln’t want to be afriad to drive the thing a little bit.

I always liked the style of these but there are just so many common issues you read about across the board from headgaskets to electronics. I’d probably try and find a LR3 with the 4.4 V8 which (anecdotally) seems to be much more reliable.

I don’t mind these as much as others it seems. It wouldn’t be my first choice (I’d rather a MB SL) but would entertain one. More power would be neat, but I don’t know how the 3UZ can handle it (guessing probably not great)

I agree - regular maintenance on these is going to be...regular. Tires, fluids, wear items. The only wild card is the air suspension which is very well documented and would budget accordingly if it hasn’t been replaced. Coil strut replacements are a grand or so. Other than that its just old age, these are pretty solid…
