that seems like a decent deal considering how much old trucks are increasing in value. People are mainly focused on 70s and 80s now but with their scarcity i can see people dipping into the 90s.

>cheap used car in good shape
People aren’t buying new cars like they used to so dealerships and private dealers are quickly buying any decent used car as soon as they pop up.
You would have to be browsing craigslist or fb 24/7 and hope you beat them to the punch as soon as a good car appears.

The worst part about facebook marketplace is that the search is a hair away from just being random shit. You want an Accord within 20 miles of your zip? Ok, here's a Silverado 70 miles away as the third result. Fourth result? Accord 8 miles away. How? It's worse when you're looking for car parts. You want an exhaust for a Corolla? Ok, here's an intake for some Kia.
>>27632660
Not a word of a lie here. 2019 you could get a CPO 2016 Scion iM (Corolla hatchback) with 30k on it for around $14k. Now? You're looking at double the miles for the same price if you're fucking lucky.

I love my Town Car. I'd even go so far as to say its a little fun to drive with RWD and a V8. Its not a fast car but its not a slow car either and it has enough power to be fun.
>>
>>27631468
Your best bet is probably a CTS-V wagon or an E39 M5 wagon conversion that someone else built. An E39 540i wagon is slow but may suffice but regardless none of those will have good gas mileage. The first two will be fun no matter where you are. Many of the cars named here, like the Matrix, Fit, Mazda 3, Volvo C30 will not be fun unless you live in the twisties. They're just too slow, which is ok when you have good rows but not fun when you don't. Panthers are a retarded suggestion. They're cheap and have a huge trunk, but they get terrible gas mileage. You may get low 20s on the highway, but if you do mixed driving you'll be getting 15-18mpg. I know because I owned a P71 years ago.

>>27634140
I'm curious what you've driven if a town car is fun to you. I've owned a P71, which is faster than a town car, and it was only fun until the novelty wore off, then it was only fun if I was on a fun road like TOTD but was otherwise one of the dullest vehicles I've owned. Almost anything is fun on a road like TOTD, unless it's the most soul-sucking, dull, horrible handling, numb piece of shit, like the Camry I drove through there once on a road trip.

I'm not the Town Car Guy, I'm the MGM Guy, but I'll answer for him- croozing is fun. If you're idea of fun is drama and excitement, you get a motorcycle. Some people's idea of fun is croozing on leather bench seats while listening to Robert Palmer's first album.

I'm the other MGM guy and I can confirm. I've got my other car for fast and exciting, the Mercury is fun in its own right because it's comfy and relaxing to drive.

Yeah bro, all you need to do is get the eshaft and fat iron from a Cosmo that they sold less than 3,000 of. Just do that, ez.

>to make 300hp
If you have more money than sense, maybe. There are much much much much better ways to have a 300hp rx7 than to source $10k+ engine parts from a Cosmo.

>put it in an rx7
Now your steering geometry is bungled due to having to relocate the rack to fit the 20b.

I drive a Model 3. If I disconnect the low speed noisemaker speaker thing what are the potential consequences? Say the unthinkable happens and I run over a blind guy can he sue me saying that the lack of noise contributed to the crash? I see no precedent for this after a quick search.

Is the thing a legally required component for vehicles in your area?

If the answer is no it does not matter in the slightest and nobody will even bother thinking about it. You're still going to jail for running over a blind guy though.

Based. 'ate cheap interiors, 'ate 'yota, simple as.
>>27634710
This.
Usually the point of compacts is to target a lower price bracket, but the manufacturer goes beyond that and cheapens out on quality as well as size.
I wish there were a way to get an E segment interior in a B segment car, but it's just not doable. You either size up or put up with shittier quality all around. Notable exception would be some French cars in the 90s, see ZX (pic related).
It was simpler than the Xantia and XM but wasn't worse. It's an interior you'd want to be in. Unlike the atrocious interiors on lower end Toyotas which seem designed to convince you to buy the bigger car, not because it's better but to get away from the lower ones.

what is the obsession in the car community about lowering your car ?
i am against it.
it just feels stupid like, more dangerous. and less serious. like some kind of stupid joke cause you are real low to the ground. i dont get it. i was just in a real low honda the other day and i was like this is just dumb.

There's degrees of lowering. Slammed/bagged is extremely lowered, for spic looks with total disregard for performance.

Gentlemen I present to you the Mitsuoka Buddy a Japan only body kit for the Rav 4. What do you guys think of aftermarket body kits? How badly do they destroy a car's resale value? How retarded would I be to try and get the Buddy body panels imported and make a pseudo K5 Blazer out of a Rav4 Prime?

Yeah, Geely bought them, but have been pretty hands off. The build quality is still good in my experience, though like any other manufacturer they'll make duds. They've been having problems with their TCAM electronics module, especially in their EVs, and the hardware for their Android-based infotainment was generally underspecced until recently. The twincharge I4 engine that they were using is a pile of shit, while the others are horribly underpowered. Moving away from their nice I6s to overstressed 4-bangers was a mistake, but Europe gonna Europe

As for Polestar, I tried a Polestar 2 out and it felt like a coffin inside, and the materials quality is mediocre because they're all-in on using recycled shit. The leather upgrade helps a bit, but it's definitely not up to par with older Volvos
