Prices of Lexus hybrid is on crack, might as well go full EV. The premium you pay isn't worth the gas savings. I did the math long ago. People ask for $5000-$10000 on top of the gas only variants, then you still gotta deal with extra cvt, battery dying crap

68style 06-28-2024 11:26 AM

For some reason I don't trust any math that you do

bcrdukes 06-28-2024 11:35 AM

How often does a battery and CVT fail? :confused:

Keeping my eyes out for a 987.2 manual base Boxster or Cayman if anyone knows of something that may be coming onto the market soon.

This is true for a lot of hybrids at the moment

Hybrid battery failures are real and expensive for non Toyota brands

great cars - the Cayman's especially were really low production though. 2010-2012 Porsche was still taking up the recession slack and production numbers were low. With the prices falling these days I'd be looking at no reserve Cars and Bids for a bargain despite the shitty CAD$

Isn't importing a P-car from the USA hell on earth? 18.1% taxes, massively expensive recall letter ($1,000+ if I remember correctly?) and sometimes they don't have dual-displaying gauges for metric/imperial so that's all gotta change too depending on the model.

Get one from Japan, dat yen, kimochi :ifyouknow:

snowfarmer 06-28-2024 06:47 PM

Not really my cup of tea but hey, might appeal to some of the Japanese car aficionados.

A 1990 Camry with 114,800 km. Driven by a little old lady in West Van

12k feels a bit high for this or perhaps just market value, unless verts attract more?

08 being first year of E82 pre facelift, 150k isn't THAT low of kms. Also I guess N54 are love and hate. Ppl who love it love the power but those who hate it hate the grenade risk. Not sure if the fact it's a 135i rather than 128i increases or decreases the value.

Looks nicely optioned tho with the M package and sport seats.

Dat top looks like it’s on its way out. Faded as fuck. That’s extra money you don’t need to be spending.

dark0821 06-29-2024 07:53 AM

see depending on how you look at it... I see clapped out NA Miatas wanting 12K....Preludes asking 9K.... 12K For a BMW Vert (how unreliable it may be) lolol

trollface 06-29-2024 08:25 AM

12k miatas are mind boggling. Just buy a used FRS for the same price.

Fixed, yea Miata prices be wild

twitchyzero 06-30-2024 08:34 AM

wouldn't automatically call it a good buy but at least it climbed out of its depreciation curve

frs could still be chipping at below 10k mark

it's on the cusp of taking the position of the gen coupe/350z/g35 pre-covid sweet spot if it hasn't already

dark0821 06-30-2024 11:30 AM

no FRS are still $13K to $15K.... yea.. a sub $10K FRS will be great... beats the miata LOL

trollface 06-30-2024 02:17 PM

even at 14k, you are getting car from 2013 vs 1991...

Qmx323 06-30-2024 10:58 PM

1991 Blackura Legend coupe, too bad its auto - $5500 - 230K

westopher 07-01-2024 06:29 AM

Auto or not that seems like a good deal

JDMDreams 07-01-2024 08:50 AM

Can someone explain why a legend is good? It's some fwd coupe. Why not just get an Accord coupe or tl that's way newer. And way more parts, aftermarket support.

GLOW 07-01-2024 08:54 AM

i can't recall seeing FRS in that price range since pre-pandemic.
seems crazy miatas and such still fetch these types of asking prices.

Ditto. I haven't searched as of late, but during the pandemic, a 2013 FR-S would go for $20K. :concentrate:

- Rarity
- Looks way cooler than an Accord coupe or TL,
- The C series was Honda's first production V6 series motor
- Despite being 30+ years old, it still has road presence
- You can trick noobs and tell them its RWD because its a longitudinally mounted FWD

Saw a clean white coupe a few weeks ago, still stood out amongst the other cars on the road. If you know, you know, I guess.

Manual Legends and Vigors (Inline 5 wtf) are worth a pretty penny today
