I like it.
Pretty sure that's the Zeta platform car and not the new Alpha

The zeta platform z28 had all those things. The alpha platform never got a z28 unfortunately... Yet

Damn, thanks for clarifying - good to know!

Between an Alpha ZL1 and Zeta Z28, is there one that's preferred?

Despite all the bling parts on the '15 Z/28, I think the Alpha platform in ZL1 1LE trim would be preferred over the Z/28 on the Zeta platform.

The thing is, you can get a used Zeta platform Z/28 on Autotrader.com in the US for USD$32K-40K all day long (CAD$43K-$53K). There's not a lot of used ZL1 1LE package Camaros for sale right now and a new one will set you back CAD$80K.

A Camaro Z/28 for CAD$45K would be a solid deal. As it turns out, the one posted in the thread is a fake ad, but these can be found on Autotrader in the US and would be an easy car to import.

Nothing about this car should be interesting, yet I am intrigued by it. Literally like driving a time capsule.

nostalgia factor.

man the cloth interior in that camry is worlds better than the current one.

fit and finish still superior in these 80s + 90s Japanese cars.

That blue cloth looks really comfy.

The ad is now trending (top 9 ads) probably due to this thread lol

I find the velour seats in my 93 Accord to be vastly more comfortable than the leather seats in my 2013 Lexus. It’s like sitting on a burgundy couch, with twice the amount of foam and half the stiffness.

oh man. that gen accord my dad had as well. (91' EXR sedan)

the cloth from what i remember was super plush and wooly. was quite warm and nice to sit in .

it looked velour like too. some of the nicest seat materials in a mainstream car.

Not what I would call a smart buy, but so much vehicle for the money

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds...069372933.html

‘06 cayenne turbo S. 520hp 4.5L turbo v8. Full dealer service history, two sets of wheels etc. Looks to be a pretty loving owner from the ad. Though same as any other expensive euro SUV it’s only one big malfunction away from the junkyard

I love it. Wonder what it would cost you after 2-3 years of ownership.

Cayenne turbos are actually the ones to get as they don't have the bore scoring issues of the na v8.

LOL, I was going to post "230km Cayenne Turbo, what could possibly go wrong?"

Then I read the ad and he's done the aluminum coolant pipes and the driveshaft center support mount. That's a couple of the big ones with that car.

That is the kind of wallet torture the automotive masochist in me really likes.

2013 VW Golf R, 130K kms, $18,604. At an off brand dealer so depending on your negotiating skills, you might be able to knock another $1K or more off the asking price.
