I dunno, T. Maybe we could get in on this boat thing. They say it’s going to be docked near some canal in Brooklyn. And there’s a Costco close by.

Let’s not forget Rob. NPOND is one of the best parts of Jalopnik.

Yeah, these really need to be articles. We come here to read. If we wanted video content, that’s why there’s YouTube.

Video?  Nope.

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

It’s basically a new-Gen Saab 9-5, so should be no surprise it’s a good drive. Just a shame they had to slather all that black plastic nastiness on it. Sooo much better looking in Opel trim.

Might be a weird sticking point, but for $28K, replace the headliner, especially since you have the parts. When someone represents a car as being well taken care of and fails to finish a relatively simple repair, I am skeptical about their other claims.

This gen also does not have the LT-1 so its a fail even before you tell me it isn’t a Roadmaster

I did a quick search for 1992-1994 Caprice wagons for sale, and most of them were priced in the $4-$7K range. The only ones that were priced as stupid as this one had some variation of ugly wheels just like this one.

Fuel gauge works fine, it’s just always on empty. 

At this price it had better be absolutely pristine. Otherwise it’s a car to enjoy ironically or put to work as a stuff-hauling beater, and it’s not worth $12.5K for either of those roles.

 I was getting into the 80s spirit until I read $13K and “broken odometer.”

Just making sure I didn’t have to scroll far before the first “bitch basket” reference came up.

This car will forever live rent-free in my head as the car driven by (a very young) Heather Graham’s character “Mercedes Lane” (yup) in the 1988 Corey’s Haim and Feldman movie License to Drive. Everything about it just screams “gaggle of high school girls out cruisin’ in the 80's” to me.

Isn’t 105,000 miles the point of a BMW V12's life that your BMW mechanic takes you out for a beer, talks aimlessly about your relationship and how he thinks it’s on an upswing, and then gives you a BMW baseball hat, while spreading Kingsford briquettes on the ground in front of you?

E65 B7 owner here, and yes this is the correct take. I wouldn’t touch an early N63 powered anything, let alone a B7. For more info, google ‘N63 Customer Care Package’. Also, who debadges an Alpina? You buy an Alpina and you don’t. touch. anything. Major red flag. No dice on this one.

All of them, especially the part when they make the current college intern awkwardly try to model the interior features, adjust the steering wheel (or flail around to show there are no adjustments) and demonstrate the roominess... or lack thereof... of the back seat.

Motorweek was a staple of my youth, and, warts and all, every youtube asshat doing reviews can thank John Davis.  I still watch them but it seems like they replay the same 5 “this city is doing it with clean energy” stories over and over.  They may not be long for the world.

Pretty much all of them. It was more that it was a tradition on a lazy Sunday in the early 90's, curled up on the couch and watching reviews of my favorite things. Even boring sedans were worth watching because it was like the Bob Ross of Sunday watching, just comfort viewing while being informative.

Unfortunately

Cadillacs are the master of this trivial feature, hell the corner lights are bigger than many primary headlights.
