Tavarish hasn’t posted a weekend eBay challenge in a while, so I decided to make my own car buying challenge. Why not? If this works well, it might become a regular thing.

In the meantime, find me the best luxury car on all of Craiglist for under $10,000. The car can be anywhere in the country and any type of luxury car. I’ll try to compile a list of the best submissions sometime next week.

I'm really hoping this turns out well, so happy hunting! This should be fun.

I think I paid $7000 for my 300D, 109k on it and immaculate interior, came with custom sheepskin. Tranny is slipping in the usual place but it’s not a big deal, at some point I will rebuild it.

Even though there is a local Craigslist nobody uses it (because europe), but here is a very slow and unluxurious (unless you count a moving car as luxury) Mercedes anyway:

200D, 4-speed, €680, for export

Low mileage, too.

WRONG! $10k is just the down payment, with lifetime financing starting at $1000 per month.

This is much better:

Yes, you can get them less than 10k, and of course it’s a luxury car! Lexus is all about luxury and prestige
