Pfft. My ‘84 Jetta GLI went over 400K. And it looked one HELL of a lot better than this car does. Sadly, floor rot finally got it (Maine). Could have fixed it, but found an identical car down south and swapped all the best bits and sent the shell to Valhalla. Still had nice paint and a perfect interior.

Eh. Clearly, it was well made to last this long, and everything that’s worn out on it has been replaced at LEAST once. I don’t think there’s any more real risk to purchasing a survivor car like this than there is to purchasing a 100k car of the same era.

To me, if a car makes it that far, it is because it has been well maintained throughout its life. For used cars, you’re buying the owner’s penchant for (or against) maintenance as much as the car itself. If everything has been replaced as needed, it there’s no reason it couldn’t go on forever, as long as parts are…

Some kid inherited his grampa’s beloved 308 and didn’t give a fuck about “some 40 year old Euroshit” after he lost control of the back end on his first time out in it, smacking it into a wall at the community college parking lot, so he traded it in for a lifted 2004 Ram, even swap.

It looks better with the doors up! Or off completely.

I hope a new owner will not turn it to this

These were bulletproof reliable, sounds great when you hit “lift” as the Toyota crowd calls it, handle great even when stock, good in snow, great on gas, and this is a very well cared for, STOCK example in fantastic shape. 8K RPM screamers are fun.

I see plenty of old/ugly people driving boring-ass cars every day.  I feel kinda sorry for people who deny themselves happiness because it’s somehow “uncool.”

The S10 was such a horrible truck to drive, with an interior that could only come from GM.

This is a tidy, stylish ride whose styling has aged very well. Guigaro didn’t muck about, they put together a body that has some timely cues but nevertheless holds up decade after decade.

That’s weird, I was just now thinking about how I’d like to crap on a Citation for some reason. What are the odds?

Former VW Bug (Type 1) owner here that remembers how crappy 50hp and drum brakes that don’t self adjust are.

For the price of a used Miata, you can get something more distinctive and uncommon. It’s not about pretending it’s a real Speedster (though some of these replicas can do a pretty good job fooling even the armchair ‘experts’). It’s simply about the fun of driving. Chocolate, vanilla, there’s no right or wrong. Lots of p…

It was his grandfather’s axe Mercedes. He’s replaced the handle chassis 4 times and the head engine twice.

Mobile gloryhole? They were popular in the 80s. Uh... I’ve heard.

Yeah but your outback can still go more places and get better mileage. Subaru FTW.

I am incredibly sad that my daily driver (‘08 Subaru Outback 2.5l N/A 4cyl) weights just about the same and has about 53 less hp.

Sounds kinky...
