Wow! Much better coverage than that article on Oversteer! :)

Spending thousands of dollars to buy a twenty year old vehicle built by Chrysler? That would be insane enough for me, thanks. :)

For that kinda of money I’d just buy and XJ, enjoy it, and take it to the local mechanic up the block.

$5K price increase over the current model! What is behind that? More standard items or just screwing customers?

Which options are not really options? What things do you think are a must?

I’m sure we are looking at $25 -$30 million right here...

Great point. Look at these, they haven’t depreciated a bit

As a 2000 Boxster owner, I’d say nice price. Even if you could get a 911 near this price that won’t buy you the mid engine layout: this id a great combination. BTW, the rule of thumb on the boards is that if an engine makes it to 60K miles the IMS is good. The estimate is that 5% of the cars had the problem - and…

Then the driver left the scene?

Installing insulation and a new interior and floor in my VW Vanagon.

Also note the blacked out Chevy Suburban in the pic. New models out in the wild for testing sometimes have a support vehicle as part of the posse.

When I poach, I can see exactly what is going on with the yolk, and can pull it when its perfect. Timing doesn’t always work with soft-boiled, varies with the size and freshness of the eggs, and maybe ambient conditions in the kitchen. I poach with pride!

That’s what I found out. My mechanic has worked on a lot of them, and agrees with you, but he said they are older vehicles but very complex: two speed transfer cases, turbos at the limit, electric everything except the air suspension etc; things will fail, and parts are really expensive.

If you want both trouble and fun you can’t miss with this 2006 Cayenne Turbo S. 520 hp, 0-60 4.5 seconds, and it’s under $20K. New these cost about $120K , so depreciation is your friend. Remember though you will also be maintaining a $120K vehicle!

Loved my ‘91 200TQ Avant. Very sad to see entropy setting in at 150K miles as all systems disintegrated simultaneously.

Wow, they made a Jeep into a FJ Cruiser!

I get it: that’s why you were pondering the problem of finding a used 6MT someplace over the time horizon!

Loved this! I trust Mom is ready to trade up to a Mustang! (As long as you keep her away from Cars and Coffees.)

Also, MB S class depreciation! Ouch!
