lol come on, that type of shit shouldn't be designed like that clearly..
quite a while ago my old company was demoing a house that some people had been squatting in, they had pushed some old 335 E36 into the back yard and stripped it. They left some great condition OEM red/white tail lights on it though. Right away i thought $$$ i can sell those easy
Took them out, sold them on CL and shortly after the buyer phones me bitching at me that they dont work, i ripped him off, etc. Said no problem, i can give you your money back, they came out of a shell and i didnt realize. I get them back and the guy explains to me how they work, fucking a million LED's in series like freakin' christmas tree bulbs powered within the housing itself?!?!?
meanwhile my car at the time was of the same generation and it's a plastic housing with a bulb and a connection.. lol.. that experience kinda gave me enough info on german engineering

There’s no correlation between stupid tail lights and damage from running into a fucking wall man lol.

I don't know of any manufacturer that designs a car specifically for it being easy to salvage after it's been crashed  |

^ I hope they never sell it now... lol
too bad it's total grandpa Flroida spec, doesn't get any more boring that white and biege
Does anyone know why the used car market is so crazy these days? You literally have to have cash on hand now, the competition is insane... in the past you could just casually trade emails back and forth even on a half decent deal without much fear... but since virus times it's just been insane. USA too.

High school kids now can have a new car essentially paid for by the govt as well.

It's because no one wants to transit due to the corona so everyone is buying cheap cars. Or anything utilitarian so they can take their family camping/ road trips.

This thing is mint but things to note - vanos and subframe not done. Although it seems to be well taken care of. Not sure if this his worth $40k considering e9x can be had for the same price. | Post deleted now. I wonder how much it sold for

Are the 1ZZ powered Elises pretty reasonable in terms of cost of ownership or are you still looking at high-end sportscar money for maintenance and/or repairs?

The volume of new cars coming is very low so dealers have no trade-ins. I see more and more new car dealers keeping their old stock on the lot. The price of used cars has gone up as the demand for cars is greater. Cars under $5000 are the best sellers currently. As the other person on here said, people are staying away from transit. Dealers are paying top dollar on eblock and traderev especially since adesa is not doing much.

If you're gonna track it though, you should replace the toe links, and get a baffled oil pan.
Most important thing is to check the clam for cracks and underbody for wrinkles.
(edit, 2zz not 1zz)

Pretty clean example for the DA pervs still around.
My experience with Fraser valley sellers is that they will typically go down on their price since they don't usually see as many offers. https://abbotsford.craigslist.org/ct...188628259.html
