These weren’t on my radar until someone here started posting pics of theirs. I bet this is like an original Mini... but actually cool. Do want!

It makes me nervous that they imported it 2 months ago, but never registered it. It’s reminiscent of the R33 and R34 ads that include the line “not registered, and I will not help you register it”.
I’m probably just paranoid, though. Also, you could probably import one yourself for half the price.

Borsuq bait for sure!
It’s more like a Beetle (but cool) though, since it’s rear engine and rear wheel drive.

It’s like a Mini, but Minier.
And slower, but 650cc (or 700, depending) does that for you.

“Extremely rare in the the USA”
And yet there are two in his driveway. Makes sense that a Fiat 126p isn’t something people are clamoring for on our shores. That being said, please gib.

There’s a guy in Stamford, CT who uses one with studded tires as his winter beater.

Send it to graverobber!
Doesn’t Mate have one of these?

I think he has a rebadged version of the slightly larger 127, but I’m not....
Wait....... Pretty sure he has a Zastava 600, which would be a Fiat 600 built in what became the factory that made the famous Yugos. I think.

Nice price. Awesome car.

Haha yeah but hey I’ve never seen one! Imagine how deeply irresponsible this could be with some kind of engine swap...

Yep I noticed those vents at the back and the suspicious rear parcel shelf... it’s a mini Porsche!

Hmmm if they’re cheap to import, maybe it’s a flip?

I think so? Similar color too, IIRC.

I'd buy that guy a beer. That's awesome.

For sure. That's probably why he has two. Of course he could just really like them and his S.O. wanted him to get rid of one or whatever. A lot of imported cars are easy flips, since people don't want to deal with the hassle or are afraid of it.

Wish I was closer, that seems a fair price if it is in good shape!

I want this.
I have a high desire for small ass cars

Yep. A tiny car is also on my car guy bucket list

Yeah I’d love to import a Honda Beat. But every time I look into it, I get scared lol.

I’ve researched it a lot and it seems it’s not that bad if you have a trustworthy importer to work with here. The good thing about cars from Japan is that the inspection sheets are always very honest, so you don’t usually have to worry about buying sight-unseen.

All the tiny cars are on my bucket list.
66 mini, honda 600, fiat 500 (old and new abarth), NA Miata, Cappuccino, Beat, mazda AZ, datsun fairlady 1600, datsun 510. CRX

That’s a good tip. Used stuff (aside from skylines and supras) is also SO CHEAP there as I’m sure you know. A beat with like 50k miles on it is like 4k
