Built by the finest of imported buddy guy craftsman sharing a bedroom and bed with their cousin who works at Tim Hortons and gets free tim bits :ahwow:

No man. I’ve seen that Lexus factory. It’s pretty much all Homer Simpsons. Like a fleet of homers. Buddy guys can’t get into this line of work without another buddy guy already in it.

Not my thing but low mileage and he says good paint, easy fixes to get it to collector plate status potentially. Just a big comfy and floating couch.

I don't get the appeal of these boomer barges would you get like 150km with like $100 worth of gas. It just looks so inefficient with no power.

Badhobz 06-10-2024 03:15 PM

It appeals to the folks that used to see Cadillac as the equivalent of rolls Royce. It was the standard of the world.

All the movie stars and celebrities had Cadillacs. From Elvis to Hepburn. All classic American icons had these cars. To drive a Cadillac meant you were in that upper echelon of society.

Luxury at any cost. It was a very interesting way of building cars.

You’re not meant to race anyone. You “proceed” slowly to let everyone have a good look at your sheer opulence.

(P.s. i kinda want one, and then add bull horns on the front along with a giant cow boy hat)

Not remotely a good buy but if you need to flex to your neighbours, here you go. Didn't even know these existed.

Thought it might be fake but there's a Carfax report attached... recent claim over $7k not that bad given the price

Qmx323 06-15-2024 08:50 AM

Pretty clean 4G TL for $8K?

Clean title, clean interior/exterior, whats the catch???

JDMDreams 06-15-2024 09:38 AM

Sounds about right, base model, no sh AWD, 180k kms, not a lot of demand for V6 barge that needs premium these days. Probably imported from Quebec?

Probably needs a timing belt, AWD model differentials had a 40k mile fluid replacement interval and the trans needed regular replace me too.

First year of the 6 speed auto had a lot of failures, this one should be a 5 speed.

Just bought and ran out of funds already for the $20000 e92 m3

Badhobz 06-17-2024 03:13 PM

^why wouldn’t you do bearing rods and major known issues first before you hydro dip the engine cover like a douche bag

2002 LS430 for $4800. Badly needs a detail inside and out and sounds like there's some body work to be done but that sounds like a great deal if you're handy.

This was posted before in the fails thread

Seems reasonably priced for a manual NC?
Was looking for a MR2 then saw this.

Great deal but two caveats

1) NC resale and driving feel seems to get a lot of complaints
2) I've seen a LOT of blown Duratec 2.0s in NCs

EvoFire 06-19-2024 06:54 AM

NC driving feel is fine. 2.0 blow ups are overblown, plus you want to swap in a 2.5 anyways. But that particular one looks rough, and I'm not a fan of PRHT, and definitely not a good fit if you want to autox or track it.

AstulzerRZD 06-19-2024 07:03 AM

2.5 swap is exactly the move... and throw some Brian Crower cams at it before you swap it in too.

There's 3/4 I know that had it done, they're a lot more fun that way.

JDMDreams 06-19-2024 08:43 AM

Isn't the swap like $6-7000? I don't think any swap is cheap these days unless you buy a swapped one
