where's Dbone? (Darren) He has/had a RHD lotus elise. I think purchased it himself in the UK and brought it in the year it went legal.

Not bad price in today's market and probably won't pop up on most people's searches because he thinks it's called a RSW???

Yup! But mine is an Exige, with the a supercharger making 300bhp. :)

Having said that, you can have a lot of fun with a stock 2zz on the road.

I hear the rover engines are good, but I personally would not buy one here. The Toyota engine will have a good parts supply for many years to come, but who knows about the Rover's.

Also interestingly enough, I had to buy side lights (unlike this guy who looks to have just put on stickers) and the price Lotus Vancouver gave me was double that of a store in the UK even though that store had to special order it directly from Lotus.

If you're really adventurous you can get rid of the Rover engine and pop in a K20. :awwyeah:

Keeping this thread alive as the BMW / Porsche / "good buy" thread:

1987 BMW 325E

That's a beauty. Drove a beat up automatic E30 years ago when Brian Jessel Pre-Owned gave it to me as a courtesy car and it was fantastic to drive.

The “e” model always brings less $ and this one is priced a bit too high for not being an iS… but that’s a very handsome colour combo

OMG... the coloursssssss... too bad it's not a V8, but it is low mileage lol

36k km 4MT 240D for 15k

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rch...411192724.html

anyone have info on this thing? it seems relatively cheap (compared to other jeeps) but has been for sale for ages

A manual YJ with half doors and a winch is always desirable, but the purple wheels and endless light bars scream "bagged on by a kid" to me.

Zip ties holding the roof on, dirty engine bay, wiring sticking out under the wheel
I bet you would find some more bonuses in person

Price seems high

Don’t forget the rock parking brake with “parking brake cables included” haha

Its also a 4banger, can't imagine how gutless that would be 30 years later

Oh they are absolutely gutless. My 92 was the same spec, I had a lot of fun with it but you basically floor it everywhere you go just to get moving and still get passed by everything.

'91 R129 SL with 114k kms for $7k. This is suspiciously cheap, esp considering it has AMG monoblocks. Not sure if its a fake ad.

side markers say jdm to me

That is getting flipped. Was for sale a while back for $5,XXX and it sat. Must have been fucked

'06 BMW 325XI manual wagon w/ 201k km for $7750. Not sure if its a great deal, but the wagons that I have seen seem to go for $9k+ with similar mileage (though the ones I've seen are 328xi).

Plates tells me it might be a curber. I'm pretty sure I've seen it before.

Whats wrong with curbers

The chance that you're getting a mechanically sound car or an honest history from someone who's sole purpose is to buy low and sell high is not as good as the original owner.

I sometimes buy cars that I think are good deals and drive them like for like 3 months or a year and then sell them for more than I bought them for… but I usually make improvements and clean them up or change things. Just get infatuated with stuff and then realize it’s not so great as I thought or get bored…

I’ve been called a curber before by some friends though lol

Real curbers are guys who don’t even get the car in their name… hand your a transfer form with someone else’s info on it cuz they didn’t want to pay the taxes and register it.
