Craigslist good buys

[twitchyzero]

if you're worried about paying an extra grand or so, you probably shouldn't drive a vehicle that drinks premium @ 17mpg and who knows how much more for maintenance

i think ~6s is plenty adequate for soccer moms...but agreed once you even the playing field the bmw will be faster by a fair margin...then again who cares about 0-60 in these crossovers...i'd rather have it more capable going camping/hiking

1990 BWW 325is 5 Speed Black e30 - $1700

Typo. Listed at 18k originally and slowly dropping in price. I'd be there with cash in hand if this was actually for $1700 and my wife would divorce me for having 2 E30's

[trollface]

17k lol. Sorry, I don't care how nice a 325is is. That's not worth 17k.

All these tools think they deserve BAT pricing without putting in any of the risk and effort with cultivating and tending to a 7 day long auction - AND dealing with the Sherlock Holmes peanut gallery.

BAT and Barret Jackson just wrecked the fuck out of used car markets. Everyone thinks their car is rear and asks stupid amounts of money. If you want BAT pricing, why not sell it on BAT lol. You have got to have head injuries if you're paying 18k for a run of th emill 325is

The run of the mill 4 banger turbo is nothing really special, but this particular 35i M Sport is a different animal. I've only had 2 short stints, it drives like a 1 series that's rides slightly higher and a couple extra doors.

cvt in sport mode actually feels relatively precise...and if you really care about 0-60 in your kid hauler then flash stage 1 and it'll be quicker than the 35i

Apples to oranges comparisons in my honest opinion. X1 35i is more like a car than SUV where the Forester is the other way around.

Typical whole sale dealers, spew a bunch of nonsense crap to entice the buyer.

Just like that WRX STi sedan at trust auto in Richmond with a V6 engine

FWIW, I feel like this car could actually sell on BATshit

Love these cars but salvage title for 4+ years

I wondered why it's priced so high so i did a quick google. Interesting how the car was built with Porsche. Apparently only 45 were sold in Canada over the 6 years

I get a kick out of these, some dealer systems including dealer wholesale and auctions classify those as "Manual" for real. Mechanically we all know they are more akin to a manual than a torque converter automatic.

Just for fun, I checked ICBC papers and sure enough, they listed my E92 M3 as "7 speed manual"

Its a can of worms!!!

Technically - Automatic
Mechanically - Manual

i mean people around these parts pay 600k for a shoebox and $3k to icbc and buck eighty for gas

as much as the market can bear, i say

if i happen to have a chassis that's tired, slow af, insert other undesirable traits but has dna linked to BAT baits, i'd start high too

as long as the sale is transparent, i try not to let asking price bother me too much...beats '$12345 throw me an offer' or doesn't post mileage

edit: screw that ad, 1 photo and 3 sentence 'come see in person'

2004 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO IMMACULATE QUICK SELL - $12900 (Vancouver downtown)

Pretty badass truck for the price.had a 535hp gemballa tune according to the ad

[trollface]

You may be the first person on earth to call that a truck.

[Jmac]

Damn shame it didn’t have a manual

It does have all terrain tires on it, which I find to be a pretty odd choice

[JDMDreams]

I'm just shocked the fully loaded turbo s looks just like a v6 with small wheels and cheap plastic none colour matched bumpers

[tofu1413]

Use it for a Paris Dakar style Build, like the dude that did it up with the ROTHMANS livery

[snowfarmer]

If it isn't about to die from scored cylinders that Cayenne is a crazy good deal.
