What say you, Opponauts? Am I insane for barking up this tree?
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I have the cash on hand for this, and I desperately want a second vehicle that is NOT my father’s ‘97 Ranger, which I often borrow for things that won’t fit in the Miata. I want reliability, the ability to carry more than one other person, and a trunk that can fit a tuba. The RWD and extra leg room are a bonus, really.
Tomorrow, I will text him and ask three important questions:
1) Does he have the physical title? (ain’t buying without it)
B) Would you allow me to take the car to a shop to be inspected (on my dime)
4) Despite insisting that it is moot, what is the mileage on the chassis?
(The cash on hand is basically the insurance payout when they totalled the Miata, which I am still using as my DD. I’m not in a rush to fix the hail damage right now, since the car still functions just fine. Might as well put the cash into a new DD. At this price, I can even go liability-only on the insurance and not even care.)

Not a bad idea, those are super reliable and well built. You could definitely do much worse with your money TBH.

The insurance payout was basically $2700, so why not? Although I may offer him $2500 first to see if he’ll take that. I can use the savings to put new tires on it.

I see no negatives for that car under $3000

Is that Matt Farah’s Million Mile Lexus?

The mileage thing is a little weird. If it really doesn’t matter, then he should be fine with listing it.
But it seems like a solid car and it looks like it’s well taken care of presently. Definitely worth a closer look.

I didn’t list the mileage on this as on purpose because at this point mileage doesn’t matter this car has plenty of power and will easily do 250k miles.
It’d be amusing if it turned out the car has already done 249,990 miles.

I love these cars and I didn’t see any major negatives but I didn’t read that thoroughly. Come in a few hundred below asking.

I looked at the area CL and found a A6 Wagon if you want super practicality

Appreciate the heads up. It’s a little out of the way (Appleturkey is just over four hours from El Chuco), but since I was also scanning there (as well as Phoenix and Tucson) for LS400s, it’ll be worth keeping that on my list if this one doesn’t check out.

He probably means that it has another 250K of life in it, but he could have stated that a little more clearly.
