90s GM products of course.

This is a great looking car and IMO not a bad price considering. I would totally be all over it if I had the extra space:

Then there’s this:

Beautiful car, seriously like brand new. Not sure I can get on board with the $8k price though.

Then there’s always gotta be some Mopar. This little Aries wagon wouldn’t be bad:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

NO RUST ( if you omit the obvious rust on the passenger fender and behind the rear wheel ), price is right though. Needs a window regulator and valve seals replaced ( 2 hr job if you know what you’re doing ), so it could be a great cruiser cheap:

The two cars my folks had when I was young were a Toyota Previa, and a Chevy Celebrity. They traded the Celebrity in for a Pontiac Montana.

The Ciera was/is a seriously good, if boring, car. But why, if anyone were going to put a car in a time capsule, would they choose a Ciera?

Buy the Chrysler, if only for the crushed velour interior.

While I’ll always have a soft spot for that body style, they don’t exactly fit 3 kids, nor are they anywhere near comfortable cruisers.

I mean I guess it’s 1/2 of what it cost new and it is still “new” so I guess realis ti cally, the price isn’t that bad. I just can’t see myself seriously giving anyone more than about $4k for a mint one.

Who doesn’t love crushed velour?

There was always some form of A-body car in my family at any point, along with early W-bodies. Between my dad and my grandpa I think they had around a dozen over the decades, they were all damn good cars.

That’s because even new it’s 90s tech. They won’t get it.

You buy that Chrysler and I’ll draw you for secret senna so I can send you a velvet hat with a feather.

I would be willing to pay it just because it is  90s tech. Tech is the thing I hate most about new cars, this would be a great way to get a new car without the tech and giant price tag.

What can I say, I find it takes away from actually driving and enjoying a vehicle.
