My old Fairlane is for sale. I miss it.

[Pat]

I'm curious, which do you guys prefer? The E34 M5, or the B10 Biturbo? I mean, can you really even compare them when you consider that the B10 is worth twice as much in comparable condition? Anyway, here's a B10 on BaT.

I've always loved Alpina models, and that one in particular looks like it's been babied it's entire life. I appreciate it when owners actually look after their cars. The decals / pinstripes are a bit unappealing to me, but I guess it suits the car.

 

I found a Toyota Soarer tonight on Craigslist, looks awesome. It's RHD, but it's an auto..

Damn. E30 Alpina for $10,000...

I could have afforded this next month, but the guy is so eager to get it gone that there's no chance it will last that long. I mean, sh*t dude, 5 speed swaps for my car are usually $600 by themselves, and with this I could probably recoup my investment by parting everything else out.

 

Seriously if I had $500 and a trailer I would be on my way down there tomorrow.

Since we're looking for a car to get, mom said we could get a used car if it's good. I found this nice first-gen Miata. Showed it to her, and she was like "ooh it's too old. I don't want that." After discussing it with her she said she's interested, and we might look into it anymore. We don't need a hatchback or a sedan, basically we don't need a family car since us the kids are grown up now. Here's the Miata:

Has 200k+ miles on the clock, 1991, registered, has all the papers, and has a propane tank. I'd get it for myself if I had the monies.

[epoxi]

It's a very unusual car: it looks resprayed (non-standard colour), as you say it has an LPG conversion, but also I notice it has an extra rear fog light. Usually the additional light means it's a Japanese import because JDM cars don't have fog-lights so it is added to meet European regulations, however it's LHD and doesn't have the JDM trunklid (for square number plate) so I doubt it's actually Japanese car.

 

It looks well kept, 125k miles is reasonable for the age. I think my main concern would be whether it has been accident damage (hence the paint respray) and the fact the car has almost zero luggage space with that LPG tank.

[SouthLand]

If i had the money, I would go fly tomorrow to the UK and buy it.

Awful head unit aside, that's lovely.

Awful head unit

That's how you can tell it's a fresh import.

[universetwisters]

A make & model that's a couple years older than the one I grew up in for 1600, I think it's a good deal. But I dunno if there's any catches or not with getting cars off Craigslist. But if all's good, I'm jumping on it.

 

[Flachbau]

Found an older BMW 320i, it's older, but very clean. Low miles for the age, manual, etc.

Love the E21. Had one as a track car a while back until my mate binned it. Picked it up from done old biddy for an idiotically small sum of money, it was her daily driver until the exhaust rusted through. She took it to some aftermarket custom stainless place and it ended up being so loud she never drove it again.

 

Wish we'd kept it because they're worth a small fortune now.

[Svip]

You can get a 1950s Lamborghini, an RM2, for only 15000 DKK (~1500 GBP/~2000 EUR/~2500 USD).

 

Ad.

 

Should apparently be in excellent condition, and you can get a plough as an extra if you want to!

Edited July 16, 2016 by Svip

[Flachbau]

That's the only Lamborghini I can afford

I know it's an automatic and all.. but it's so f*cking clean. I have seen this particular car listed for at least 8 or 9 months, now. Feel bad that he can't sell it.. if I had the cash I would totally pick it up.

Tow bar is a big warning sign the engine might have been under some stress, the rust on that exhaust is likely consistent with the rest of the car's under-body (salty NY roads).

 

To be fair most cars with decent body panels look very clean when polished and detailed, you could make the average Civic look like that for a couple hundred dollars and some elbow grease.

Saw this posted on another forum I lurk on

 

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C734720

 

 

Terrible photos, but a lovely car. Very late (95/M) Audi S2 Avant. 230bhp from the factory, proper AWD, urQ derived 5-pot, utterly bulletproof and very stylish in that boxy, 90s way. You could probably knock him down to £5k, which seems pretty good for such a rare car. Only 64 left on the road in the UK.

 

With a bit of love and care they can be made to look like this:

[Pat]

Saw this today on the Middle TN BMW enthusiast facebook group:

 

I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole myself, but I figured it was impressive enough to share. It definitely gives me more confidence in my car.

[SouthLand]

The only valid reason to buy that BMW is once you get it, throw everything away and rebuild it with a new engine, clutch, transmission...In other worlds, i would buy it if the price is the same as buying one from a junkyard.

[Pat]

That wouldn't really make any sense at all, you'd spend several times the price of a different one in good condition. That car is for someone that needs something cheap they can drive until it finally gives up and dies. As long as they've kept up the maintenance, it should still have a surprising amount of life left in it, and I doubt it would have made it to almost 400k if it had been neglected and abused.

Edited August 22, 2016 by Pat

[sivispacem]

If it's done 400k it's probably been maintained pretty fastidiously. It's probably in pretty decent order.

[uNi]

I've seen some bad ones, but this guy's job of covering the plate just wins all:

 

[owl-man]

This MR2 Spyder:

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Toyota-MR2-2004/SSE-AD-3209308/?Cr=0

I'm actually eyeing this one, it has some stuff I want on it that would probably add up to over this price if I were to order the stuff seperately. But that decal has to go straight away. I am very much into this bodykit because of Forza Motorsport.

[sivispacem]

It's f*cking awful I'm afraid. That spoiler in particular. The quality of the fit and finish is also shocking. Look at the size of the pannel gap between the top of the door and the arch!

 

It's like a fourteen year old tried to replicate the Abflug kit using styrofoam and plasticard.

 

[owl-man]

Of course the Abflug kit looks better than the Veilside one, I just have a fascination with older Veilside stuff.

[sivispacem]

Here we call it "Vileside" for a reason.

Spotted this on a well known importers website in the UK, refreshing to see an S13 in such a condition.

[epoxi]

If I had an S13, I would keep it bone stock: it makes more of a statement than the others!

 

Well actually, I would probably add a buttload of trackers and anti-theft devices because that thing would disappear in a second.
