It's my fault for ever looking.

That E91 — that I was never going to be able afford — sold the other day. So while looking up old Toyotas and shitty youtube videos, I got bored decided to see how many manual E91s were for sale at any time nationwide . Just to see how common they were.

Well, according to CarGurus, there are zero for sale. According to Autotrader, there are also zero. For comparison, there are fifteen IS300 Sportcrosses for sale nationwide.

I used to joke how I was tragically drawn to obscure, uncommon old Toyotas. But I’ve noticed that when I dabble in other makes, it’s the same problem all over again. Even with Lexus (Sportcross and facelifted-SC400). BMW, while always a longshot for actual ownership, has been no different: E46 Touring, 318ti, and now a manual E91. I’m not even TRYING to be some kind of unique hipster.

Several opponauts have warned me over the years to stop looking at for sale ads while not necessarily in the market for a car. Something you always wanted — or never knew you wanted — will pop up, it will sell, and you’ll DRAMATICALLY SIGH.

t least they’re all 318s or 320ds and.not manual 335is. The best part of the E90 is that twin turbo inline 6

Jokes on us, most have pathetic, anaemic engines. We also didn’t get AWD in the E9x in the UK because they didn’t make RHD versions.

Those guys are about an hour away from me and I’m morbidly curious to go there and see what kind of people are running it.

This one is what you are looking for but they want the stars and moon for it.

I’m not sure you’d be happy with one honestly. They’re kind of sluggish. The back seats aren’t that spacious and even with the seats down the space is narrow and not deep. Have you researched Allroads?

Why are used car prices so dramatically low in the U.K.?

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > Spaceball-Two

Extensively. Unfortunately I only would want a manual one of those and you know how common those are!

It’s actually the previous buyer’s fault. If he brought it before you could see it, this would have never happened!

Dunno, you’d think being RHD market there would be less choice and more cost but nope. It’s not like a cheap car is useless either, my first car cost £300 and it lasted me a couple of years.

I took a look on auto trader for the fastest car available for £500 or less and there are a few 3.0 V6 Jag S-Type’s for under £500. We do pay more for fuel though...
