A BIG NOPE at this price, this mileage and those ugly oversize wheels.

Didn’t even pause to read Rob’s words. Straight to No Dice and clicked multiple times. Too much money, even if the used car world has gone crazy. Maybe at half the price, once Reality comes back into focus.

Maybe overpriced, but it presents well enough and has enough service records that it doesn’t scare me away. A dead simple car to work on yourself, as needed (often), but it’s got cheeky charm.

I’d buy it, after a careful inspection by a VW tech. It’s clean, somewhat interesting and the price isn’t stupid.

There’s a right way, a wrong way, and a way that can get you injured or dead. This falls into the latter category.

Where do I send the check? Pick it up this weekend and drive it home.

Small Horse Syndrome. Interesting . . .

All that lovely engine under the hood, but with so little get-up-n-go. 234 Shetland ponies? Interior is faded and somehow unpleasant looking instead of being inviting.

These kind of “rare finds” always leave me scratching my head. What the hell are you supposed to do with it? Any regular driving lowers its value, and in this case, it’s difficult to even say if it has ANY value. Put it back in storage for another 30+ years, and periodically visit it and admire your rare “find” while

Could be anything, including volcanic ash and pixie dust left behind from Unicorns sneezing on it. Everything else is clean, so why is this so filthy? Makes me wonder what else got neglected and the weird mention of the “odo has rolled over . . .”

OH HELL NO! It ain’t that good looking, that powerful, that luxurious, that useful to justify a nosebleed price. That underhood photo says to me that the mileage is higher than claimed. No Dice.

Hell, I like Volvos and this one is in great shape. But just not feeling the love to the tune of $15,000. It’s an anonymous white box. A reluctant No Dice.

A bit too pricey for what I see, and apparently his local market agrees. The mileage is high for its age, but running up and down freeways to get to clients will pile up the total. And while I usually like colors in interiors other than black and gray, the red leather here looks gawd-awful . . . so per the above, Nope.

That drivetrain has 176,000 miles on it and the car has been hooned, so if you like limited reliability, go for it.

Nope! I’ve worked in body shops and front-end damage is the worse thing to deal with. It’s called a “crumple zone” for a reason. Yeah, you can part it out, but it might be tough to earn back your $3,000. Plus the overall condition, boy-racer BS and high mileage are negatives. Overpriced. ND!

Never knew it existed and/or saw and forgot. Not a lot of power, but everything else, including a great price makes this an easy Nice Price. A hundred times better purchase than yesterday’s POS Toyota! You can actually use this one without getting a rabies shot first!

There are likely so many hidden, unreported problems with this orphan sitting on a junkyard lot, that $70 might be generous. But since you disagree, go ahead and buy it and prove me wrong. Double-dog dare ya . . .

One word: GARBAGE.

Yes, the SSR. Too little coffee in my bloodstream to Google it . . .

I could see it. Price isn’t stupid-high and the condition is good. No BS boy-racer crap and mileage is reasonable for the age. And a row-yer-own tranny . . .
