I found this Craigslist ad for a tiny house/shack for $20 000 in Vancouver.  Tiny house / cabin / studio
12' x 24' footprint tiny house FOR SALE! Yes, the entire house!
This house was converted from a 1952 workshop / garage. The exterior has striated cedar siding, aluminium roof panels, double glazed windows, spray foamed ceiling, R14 batt wall insulation with vapour barrier.
The interior design has been very well thought out and it is arguably the most comfortable tiny house you can find, there is no sacrifice in any way. The interior space is approximately 250 sq ft. Everything is custom. The loft bed fits a double mattress, under the bed has massive storage, a full slide out closet and the stairs pull out as your dresser. The kitchen feels larger than a full size kitchen and has a Miele cooktop and GE dishwasher. All contents of the house are included: fridge,46" TV, Blomberg washer and dryer, etc.
There is ONE catch. The house is attached to a foundation and will need to be moved using a house raising / moving company and another foundation needs to be built at the new site. I can arrange everything to be done for the move and foundation and setup at the new location. The footprint of the house is about 12' x 24'.
Serious enquiries only.

BU | I've never had a problem, but I'm only at 75,000km.
Honestly the problems are pretty limited for the e55. Electrical problems usually come from clogged drains or broken seals allowing water damage - pretty uncommon
The main problems are airmatic suspension leaks and a finicky fuel sender.
However air strut replacements are only $300-400 each, not $1000. The fuel sender was recalled in the US but not Canada yet.
I'm pretty pleased with it, not many cars from 10 years ago have 500hp and still do 10L/100km on the highway

Just chat with my buddy at Mercedes, the E55 could get air suspension issue. Shock will be leaking, but now they can rebuild the shock.
Also could leak into the transmission oil cooler damaging the transmission.
He said also check driving up hill and see if it will shutter.
I personal love the wagon look.
Good luck. Quote:

Serious enquiries only. | My uncle's friend did something similar: Bought a house in Delta, shipped it up to the Sunshine Coast, and plopped it on a concrete foundation. As much of a PITA as it sounds, somehow it was cheaper to do all that than build a new house.
The other bonus is you can make the concrete foundation whatever you want; you could make a basement underground much bigger than the footprint of the house.
In fact, that might be the only way to meet the minimum square footage of a living space.
In any case, you can't drive this house, so perhaps discussion should be continued in a new thread. Far as I know this thread is for good vehicle buys.

I dunno if that's a good deal, but for $62k I feel like you could get a lot more car. Newer 7-series or S-Class, VIP car from Japan.
Insurance and maintenance on a Bentley would be ridiculous.
Mind you if you bagged and slammed it with the right wheels it would be kinda cool.

Given the mileage and if everything checks out, this is a pretty decent deal BMW 330i Low Mileage. Pristine Condition. Rare

Yup, alcantara seats. Looks like he has an early m performance package. Only thing to note, I have the same seats in mine and the bolster on the driver's side tends to wear down quite badly over time.

As much as it kills me to say it. 100k seems reasonable for that car. Its like 75k in real money, and you aren't finding 930s for that in the States very often.
75-80k is like what 55-60k USD? Not a chance of finding a 930 for that. Not even one with 200k on it.

More details on the 930 Quote:
For your consideration,offered for sale is my 1986 Porsche 930 turbo. Purchased out of Sarasota Florida in 2005 with an odometer reading of 47000 miles,odometer reading is now 64908 miles. Car is accident and rust free.Repainted by a reputable restoration shop in 2010 at a cost of $14,000.00 as paint showed signs of age. Paint is presently in very nice condition.
Interior in excellent condition, 6 way power seats show minimal wear and function as new. Dash is leather covered and in good condition. Stereo is aftermarket as are door and rear speakers. Power amp in trunk. All cab and trunk carpets are in great shape. Trunk lid struts are new, also in place is a quality camber strut. Headlights have been upgraded to H4's.Recent front rotors. Ceramic brake pads and stainless braid hoses .Tires are Toyo Proxes with apx 75% tread remaining. Wheels are original Fuchs with painted centre caps and are in nice condition. Body fitted with OEM boxed rocker panels.
Transmission: has been totally disassembled and inspected, anything requiring attention has been replaced.Engine flywheel, clutch friction, pressure plate and release bearing are new. Short shift kit installed,shifter bushings and shift coupler bushings are new.
Engine: 65000 original miles and is untouched with the exception of bolt on parts which are as follows.Stainless headers with heat, Kokeln turbo, aftermarket BOV, waste gate dual outlet stainless muffler & tips,B6 intercooler, stainless heat shields, additional inline oil cooler, aftermarket air intake.Both oil thermostats are new, serpentine belt drive pulleys.
All engine tinwork has been powder coated and installed with stainless hardware. Most engine brackets have also been powder coated as well as fan& housing, upper & lower valve covers.
