I have a Gran Turismo-esque used car dealer in my neighborhood.

A bevy of Oppo-tastic cars, and they are all for sale on one small lot. I drive by 4 days a week to check the new arrivals. Here's what is available today:

Heavily Modified '08 WRX STi $29,995

2004 Unmodified WRX STi $20,495

1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo $13,995

2002 Toyota MR-S $9,995

And the pičce de la resistance...

1996 Toyota 4Runner SR5 $18,595 (16,000 miles... seriously)

Sure, it only has 2 pedals, but it also has A CAR PHONE.

DISCUSSION (27)

I definitely want the dickens out of that 4Runner.

14k for an SW20? Kinda high imo.

Love the car phone, though.

That was my first thought, too. Last winter they had a 1989 T100 with 12,000 original miles. But they wanted something like $11,900 for it. Way too rich for my blood.

You've pointed it that I use the word "bevy" far too infrequently. What an awesome word.

Want the Unmodded Subaru, and the MR2 Turbo, and the 4runner.

I don't like the MR-s and Modded cars are trouble....

Too rich, but where are you gonna get another one like it?

I don't want that first subie, but I do want to test-drive it...

This dealer scours auctions across the entire USA for what they feel are the most prime used cars. The lot is 90% 3-5 year old Highlanders, Legacys, RX-330s, Priuses, & XC-90's, 6% Imprezas, 2% 240 Estates, and 2% Oppo-bait. And the Oppobait is always priced well above the market because they are clean and have low miles. The bummer is that they always find a buyer, even if the prices are proportional to the lot owner's ego.

buy a low miles toyota truck from the 90's is silly, you end up paying more for something that will drive the exact same in 100,000 miles.

Bevy is by far an amazingly useful word. I hope to use words like "bevy", and a bevy of other fun words, as often as possible.

Yeah, I can't forsee buying a modded car even at a dealer, and MR-S is like the children's trainer for the SW020. No thank you.

Everything else would be in my garage tonight if I had the means.

Agreed. I still have some non-buyer's remorse over that one.

Bevy of Bitches is a nice complement to a Gaggle of Girls. Something which comes up during my average conversations throughout any given day.

Considering their legendary reliability and durability, you are absolutely right!

i have a 97 land cruiser with 232k miles and aside from worn leather, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between it and this, drives great too.

Please use a bevy of bitches tonight, and without hesitation or irony!

Haha yeah that is true. My sister has/had (don't know if it got sold yet) a '03 Taco TRD 4x4. it has around 162,000 on it and it still drives perfectly. I must say I am very impressed with that truck. Plus it still has a killer resale value. Also it is one of the rarer Tacos out there with the full kitted TRD package and 4x4.

$30k for a "heavily modified" STI?!?!?! GTFO, seriously, what is up with all the price gouging, must be because winter is close and people are looking for some sort of 4X4 or AWD vehicle but still. Prices on Evo's and STI's are getting nuts these days. Hell I only paid $32k OTD WITH almost $3k of negative equity rolled over into it. But then again, I'm a great negotiator also.

What's the name of the dealer and where is it located? Wondering if I'll ever get the opportunity to look around when I get back stateside.

This. Good for you, Volvo, for not ditching a trademark option just because it was no longer in style.
