Naww man.

Maybe a few years ago, but wagons got popular, and especially the '94-'96 Whales.

[Payman]

Eh, not seeing it up here.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Nah, that car even if rust free @300,000 kms is no more than 2 grand up here. Canadian.

It sounds so bad when you say 300,000 kms, but so good when you say 2 grand Canadian. I am confused.

So you're saying this is a crackpipe price:

I do get the appeal, but not up here. It's not a winter car, it's a beast to store, and as a 2nd niche car for summer, people look for something more unique, preferably a convertible. VW Cabrio values are climbing like crazy up here. Paid a grand for mine 2 yrs ago, and I can ask $4000 for it now.

It's nice, but nobody up here would pay that.

Your Cabrio needs a Northstar V8. Then you can ask $2000 for it again.

I wouldn't mind flipping a car here and there if it was mechanically sound and just needed a good detailing...a nice clean vehicle will catch more cash than a shitty dirty one.  But the margin is still low depending on what you get, and I don't have the capital to buy a random used car in the first place.

Unlikely. In fact, it's all downhill from here. I will only get more cranky and more eccentric.

I6?

[Eye of the Tiger]

I6?

2.5 liter, 155 horsepower, 4 speed automatic. Total snoozefest. I want it.

"Clean interior," posts pics of dirty interior.

Though to be fair it is pretty clean for an '04.

That might be the cleanest interior I've ever seen on a $1200 car.

A low mileage, single owner, non smoking 1992 Chevy Lumina Euro with 3.1L V6 making 140 hp and 185 ft/lb torque.

Boxy, simplistic styling with only 81,000 miles. Looks to be in excellent condition with the only obvious blemish is a small rip in the stitching on the driver's seat.

Asking Price: $2,000

Euro Sport!

So much luxury

[Eye of the Tiger]

It's hard to say whether I'd take a Suzuki Verona over a Hyundai XG300. The Hyundai is more luxurious and better in every way, but the Verona has that exotic Porsche-designed inline six.

[FoMoJo]

It's sorta like a mini Continental.

Hmmm, I just called my accounting firm, and they said I don't have $4700.
