Weird. Whoever modded this has their priorities straight. Michelin pilot sports (now bald af) + BBK. Looks super clean, hopefully it checks out for someone here.

Mazda 6 wagon, V6 manual. 135K. $6500.

BTW: Did anyone here get that TSX wagon? It sold pretty quick.

phone number comes up as a used car lot:

Goldline Motors Inc | Used dealership in Vancouver, BC V5T 1V4

this reads to me like a car that was previously modded and the previous owner parted out or traded for as many stock parts as they could but wasn't able to pull the brakes off before trading it in?

i see a colorado license plate on this so i'm not sure

Seeing if anyone is interested in buying this car.

2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII

Currently the motor is blown, it threw a rod and it will need new short block. I don't have the motivation to finish it at the moment and therefore selling it as is.

Car is pretty stock but has catback exhaust, boost controller, pod intake filter, hks upper intercooler pipe and bov, lowering springs, exedy mutliplate clutch, ARC heatsheild and Evo X wheels.

Will come with all parts to go back together.

Please contact me for any questions. (720) 587-5582

$8000.00 obo

Any lowball offer will be ignored. These cars go for 13-14k normally.

1990 Toyota Sera - $5000 (Maple Ridge) https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/pml/cto/5997257671.html

238,600 KM, 5 speed standard, RHD, as shown in pics.
I imported this car myself last summer with the intent to use it as a fun and economical commuter since I have always wanted one, but as it turns out these cars are not meant for people over 6'2" tall. My back can't handle a car this tiny anymore. It's got an aftermarket intake and exhaust, body kit, and a lot of JDM 'rice' as you can see. The engine and drivetrain share components from the tercel/paseo so parts are very cheap to keep it running. Even for the high mileage it runs perfectly like a toyota should.

I have all of the documentation for it, however I have not put it through a provincial inspection yet so it is being sold as-is, where-is, for the price of what I have spent on buying the car and getting it here and through customs thus far. You will be able to put a 1 day permit on it to get it home, though.

This car can also go to the USA legally if you wish.

If you're in the market for something functional with a bit of luxury, and safety, this is a good buy. Poster could use a lesson on picture taking but ...

2004 CLK55
https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/6033611988.html

Question: is this the poor mans entry into the world of handbuilt german v8's? These things sounds incredible with some exhaust work.

Is this a situation of 100k$ car maintenance costs? What is a (not really very) high milage AMG like to live with?

^^ i was hoping you'd respond - 7 minutes! must be a AMG bat-signal.

I'm not usually super car impulsive, but I'm really tempted to go take a look at this one.

Any specific shop recommendations for inspections? I have my go-to's for german cars work, but would be down with somebody more specific for this type of detailed look over.

i want this!

i knew someone who has that generation of CLK (i'm not sure it's a 2004). leased it for his wife and they've had it since new. he claims having zero problems, and showed me all his dealer service paperwork to dispel my disbelief. they liked it so much they even bought out the lease when it ended and they still have it afaik...

pretty sure may have the oil leak here and there but heard those old 5.4' 3 valve head/ twin spark motors are pretty well engineered. should be pretty solid cars.

ex has a CLK and seems to be pretty problem free.

I wanted that e36 but then I googled the image I found:

edit the silver evo looks like the one that was stolen a few months back. Was a "bc" car

Always wondered if CLK's had complicated suspension. Good to know. Does the E Class of this gen Mercedes have air suspension?

Yes, the E Class from 2003-2009 has got air suspension on higher end models (e500, e550, e55, e63). If it happens to leak, Arnott struts offer a great warranty and aren't too expensive. Alternately, there are plenty of kits out there to convert to coils. The E55 has a pretty big modding community so its not hard to find remedies for these problems.

Something that caught my eye though, whats with those weird wheelcaps? They look red and somethings spiralling out...:pokerface:

The first thing I noticed was RE71R tires for the street.

Debadged trunks always make me iffy. Makes me think it got rear ended and body guy was either too lazy to reinstall it or lack of funds for repair that they didn't even get the replacement badge

https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/ctd/6031012858.html

Love these, quicker than the 40k equivalent German rival (M3), sound amazing, reliable engine, cheap to repair and cost as much to fill up as my 2.5L Jetta daily.
