So Here’s mine
2004 Acura TSX, 8,000. Great not totally boring, reliable, comfortable DD. I’d like it more if it wasn’t silver, but I can live with it.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
2004 Ford F-350, crew cab, 4x4, Manual trans. A good get stuff done rig, Especially for 14k, and only 150,000 miles.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
2002 Camaro SS, 6000 bucks, LS1, manual, RWD,
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
1987 Aw11 T tops,To get my Old School Japanese fix. 8k.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I went over by 1,000 but, lets assume you could negotiate that much. lol.

it would end up being a bunch of these,and squarebodies...... cheap junk, probably end up with 65 or 70 at $35k

$5k left should be enough to do a 6MT swap.

Toy, hauler, and a boss ass DD, with the Ranger as a stand in for the times the 740IL is DOA. Not a bad selection.
That generation of 7 is just so good looking.

But wouldn’t you void the warranty. Eh who cares manual is worth it.
![]() 04/28/2016 at 00:43 |

That Phaeton was owned by a tool.

Haha yeah, you always have to have at least one reliable car.

Obscenely cheap German cars tend to attract tools. Tools and idiots. Wait, that’s the same thing.
![]() 04/28/2016 at 00:54 |

Yeah it would be tough to void the warranty, but we’re talking hypotheticals, right?
I also just realized that 2 cars in my garage right now total right around $35k at current going rates.

No, I’m a successful slum lord circa 2009.

This is something I plan on pursuing seriously:

You could make a camper out of an old Toyota uhaul.
I actually knew a guy who built a hot road out of one of these. He lowered it a bit, put a 350 in it, and replaced the box with a flatbed. It looked and sounded mean. He even left the white/orange two tone.

It’s always stock or bust for me.

Couldn't find a nice one for sale on EBay. It was either this or one with a really sketchy ad.

BMW 3.0 CS - $16,000. It’s not the injected model, but it’s a classic, especially in the silver. Good price for the condition. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-Other-…
Land Rover Defender 90 - $15,999. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Land-Rover…
1976 Jeep Cherokee Sport - $2,650. I’m surprised this is so cheap; this will definitely be a future classic. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-Chero…
I’d use the last $350 to keep one of these cars working.

2013 Accord Sport w/manual - $17k
2000 MR2 Spyder - $5.5k

https://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/5525097794…
This TJ Wrangler for $4.5k

This should take care of all of my needs, and still have a fair amount of change left over to fix/upgrade any issues as I see fit.

Buy this and keep the Crossfire (worth about $4k) for winter duty. I only wish this was easier to justify.

I was wondering how you found a 5.9, quad cab, for less than 20,000, then I saw the mileage. 320,000 miles DANG. but if it’s been maintained that’s not really a problem.
![]() 04/28/2016 at 10:34 |
|
Exactly. Those 5.9s will run forever as long as you maintain it. The wheels would have to go through for something less brochacho

Have you ever driven a 2.5l Wrangler. I can tell you it’s hilariously bad. However it is a good excuse for a V8 swap.
That Nissan is crazy clean, like I almost think that price is a type and it’s supposed to be 4,100. lol
![]() 04/28/2016 at 10:41 |
|
That’s a faclifted T100 with the 3.4
![]() 04/28/2016 at 10:42 |
|
Yeah, that's crazy cheap to me for the Nissan. And no, I haven't had the "pleasure" of driving a Jeep with the 2.5, but I figure that would be my "adventure" rig, so it shouldn't matter too much about how slow it is.
![]() 04/28/2016 at 10:55 |
|
I didn't even know they ever came with the 3.4.
![]() 04/28/2016 at 11:06 |

I had the 2.5l as my dd for 3 years back in my late teens early 20s, aka when my spine could handle that abuse.
The 2.5l mixed with 31" tires was a dog. I remember going south into Barstow on the I-15 (a hill to climb but nothing huge) against a headwind and I had to draft big rigs to go faster than 35.

You guys might make fun of the MKT, but it’s a wonderful place to be inside. And besides, I’ll be driving it - YOU have to look at the outside of it, not me.

I just happen to have 3 cars that total $35,500. A little cheating went into it though as well as some well bought deals. $20K for the Spyder, $8500 for the Jeep.
And a two year lease on a Fiesta ST came to about $7k.
