Back in 2015 we featured a 6k mile first generation MX-5 that was picked up by Jesse at Barnfinds.com and then sold for about the cost of 10 typical 200k MX-5s and at the time I wrote “Whoever buys this car will have a very nice example of one of the best selling roadsters of […]
A used MX-5 Miata is great little inexpensive sports car for anybody who enjoys driving and prices are very cheap these days. It might be because Mazda built a million of the little machines…no seriously, in 2016 Mazda produced the MILLIONTH MX-5. But, finding one from the first generation with 35k miles in immaculate condition […]
This next car is a hot one — a clean, good running, rust free, medium mile example of an early 90s classic with a smooth Honda V6 that didn’t push the boundaries of technology, but eased next to the boundary with a whimsical smile on its face. And the price on this one is great…naturally […]
The 2nd generation XF20 (1994-1997) Lexus LS was everything you’d want in a German executive cruiser, but with Japanese sensibility and reliability. There was no option for a 5-speed manual gearbox, but it wouldn’t ravage your savings in expensive parts repairs or lull you into thinking your car was sporty. Find this 1996 Lexus LS400 offered […]
Global sales of BMW’s first 3-series started in 1975 and by the time they switched body stamping operations to build the E30 version in 1983, over a million examples of the E21 had left the factory. The significance of those production numbers were not lost on BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lincoln, Pontiac, Cadillac, or anybody else who […]
The Mk II (2nd generation) Volkswagen Golf was introduced in 1983 as a 3-door and 5-door hatchback and was produced through the 1992 model year. It featured basic front drive economy and was a slightly more refined (albeit heavier) version of the original Mk I Golf. Find this 1992 Volkswagen Golf offered for $6,400 in Middlebury, […]
The recipe for a the ultimate good times with a craigslist advertisement goes a little something like this: First, find a inexpensive car in extraordinary condition. Then, make unsubstantiated (and unverifiable) claims like owned by a former duke of Albania or used in the independent film ” Marco Polo’s day off”. Finally, write your test […]
We’ve been posting a few (toom many?) Chevy small block powered Jags ’round these parts, so I reckon we should post a few stock examples as atonement for our swapping sins. Find this 1986 Jaguar XJ6 offered for $2900 outside of Boston, MA. Tip from Art C. The seller says it has been garaged its […]
This next car has me wondering just how many cars built in 1989 still have less than 65,000 miles on the their odometers? With an average of just over 2300 miles per year, you’ve got to admit that this car has had a pampered life, but not so pampered that you wouldn’t want to drive […]
The Volvo 240 might not be the greatest car ever made (despite what DT’s Volvo Enthusiast-at-Large CFlo might say) but you could certainly say it was the greatest boxy sedan to come from Sweden during the 1980s. Find this 1986 Volvo 244 Sedan offered for $5,200 near Cleveland, OH via craigslist. Tip from Alex. I […]
