Not a major expert on these but looks like it could be a solid buy for a fun car. Tempting 2006 Porsche Boxster S - $27999

It’s a RHD s2k with electrical problems and rust. He just brought the price down to something at least a blind person might consider

And some people were our age, looked just like us: maybe they didn't think they'd ever wind up in a line for food.
I can only imagine that some folks could have a kind of defense mechanism in their brain kick in, to help shield them from the desperate humiliation that comes from taking a handout. Putting up an air of entitlement in an anonymous online review, as a kind of subconscious scrabbling for dignity.
And to be honest, I think we can do more to train folks to be as respectful as possible with how food is offered. Kind of a "hey thanks for coming in, what can we get you?!  " to help portray a sense of respect, vs triggering their sensitivity to "you're lucky to get what you get."
Not saying this necessarily applies to what you posted Traum (thanks for posting!), just thinking out loud.

^ it's nice but the price .. ??!! And it's RHD. There is an 06 S4 wagon on FB for like $11K, would that be a better buy for ~ $40K difference? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...5308280803221/
Or here is another white RS4 Avant, import, RHD, white, $50K https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...1698938148334/  | |

The RS4 is far more special than the S4 (and doesn't have the V8 timing chain blow up issue), but I don't know if it's 40K better.

Maybe 40k better if you could see when you are turning. Importing a RHD car that is available in LHD is the most Facebook car group like chasing thing anyone can do.

The sedan was the only way to get RS4, and even then the sedan is rare. To import from Europe, the shipping cost is steep, I hear somewhere in the 5-7k range.
Importing a RHD Porsche is the stupid thing I've seen pop up recently.

Gotta be something seriously wrong with this car, or it's a deal.
Always wanted one pre-covid but they were 20k to start.
If this car has no issues you could even flip it for 5k

@donk, since you've been eyeing something like this, what is the trunk space like on the Panamera vs. the Turismo? Panamera sedan is one of the first 'sportback' type of sedan. Now there is the Audi A/S/RS5 or the A/RS7.

I've never looked at a turismo trim, I would guess it's pricier, and that's out of my "winter beater" budget
I just wanted a Panamera for no good reason. Preferably the 4wd version. The link I posted seems to have a Panamera 4 in the pictures, so add a couple grand of value.

Always check the car history since it is a tradition in Germany/Europe to modify the odometer. The interior is poorly made, the glove box, cup holder, sunroof were broken after 4 years.
Pretty disappointed by the chassis that love to go straight (understeer) in the corners, that was problematic when i used to live in the alps. My cheap Subaru B4 RSK is more fun and less a headache, but the RS4 6 MT was really good.
Otherwise pretty good car for the highway, tons of common parts available in Canada and it is a fast wagon with a manual transmition!

It depends of their conditions, otherwise they are pretty reliable, drove one with 300.000 km on it and love how the rear slide. Way better than the VW Polo and Golf i had in Europe. But the 206 interior is not that great and the electronic can do some funny stuff. The body kit is too much imo but if you want a real 206 WRC it is $500.000
Peugeot is unknown in North America but i highly recommend to try a 205 GTI, 106 S16, 206 RC, 308 GTI and RCZ, especially on a circuit or mountain.
