Middle of winter deal right here: very low km's EB Premium Mustang 'vert with stick for $30k.

Edit: I would totally daily this. Mustang 'vert very easy to live with on a day-to-day basis, had one for a week back in 2019.

Having had a few of them as rentals over the years, I shall choose to disagree. A Mustang without a V8 and a stickshift is not a Mustang I have any desire to drive.

This one has the stickshift, at least  ;D 305 hp is enough for commuting.

Price seems high for a '15 but this is a crazy market we're in.

It only has 18,000 km on it, and it’s a fully loaded Premium. Even has cooling seats my presser lacked.

Yeah, no thanks to the EcoBoost Mustang. Just doesn't have the personality you expect from a pony car.

2004 GX470, 36k km, $27.5k. Scam?

https://www.kijijiautos.ca/cars/lexus/used/#vip=23740306

Something like this on like BAT would fetch a lot of money, especially from US buyers...

I’d say 99% scam. I watched one get a little over $20,000 last week at auction. It had 189,000 km. That’s a $30k vehicle down south without a doubt.


I’m keeping my eye on this beautiful car. I only have one Audi 5000 turbo left myself now. Always liked the diesel model. According to my 1980 issue of R&T, this would hit 60 mph in only 20.2 seconds!

A nice surprise seeing a 300M on Bat, as I don't recall seeing one before.  Will it fetch $10k?

No Reserve: 3k-Mile 2004 Chrysler 300M


A 90's era Oldsmobile 98 recently fetched somewhere around $20K on one of these sites, wouldn't surprise me one bit if this 300 gets mid-teens.

You know way more than I do about pricing, so I hope you're right.  The auction is on my Watch List.

The winning bid was $17,250.  I bow to your expertise, revs!   :bow:

Stupid money for that car. Funny thing is there's probably a bunch of relatively low-mile 300Ms tucked away in people's garages.  :P

I don't think so.  It had less than 3500 miles on the odometer.  It's practically a brand new car, vacuum-sealed from the early 2000's.  Some people (people who think along the lines of Bubba) value these older American cars. 

Neither you nor I would pay it, but we're obviously not the target demographic.

It has my favorite GM engine of the past 20 years or so.  I wonder if it'll go over $100K, probably should.

That's a $50K-$60K car at best, in normal times.
I looked at one, same color, in the 40s before this nonsense.

Such poor taste ruins a great car. SMH. Unfortunately, there is a sizeable portion of owners out there who do this to their car. Facking idiots.  :hurl:

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

I wonder what will happen post-covid. Will there be tons of people losing five figure sums on cars they paid through the nose for during covid?

I can imagine a lot of these $70K-$100K cars being worth no more than $30K in a few years.

Listing has a lot of details about the vehicle, untypical for scammers, and the mileage matches on the odo and the speedo is metric. Interior pictures from under a tarp are a bit weird though. And it is an 18 y.o. vehicle after all... Could be legit.

I love that the ad states 'designed to compete with the LS460, at a fraction of the cost', when the LS was 'designed to compete with the S-Class, at a fraction of the cost'. 

I guess the Equus was designed to compete with the S-Class, at a fraction of a fraction of the cost?  :rofl2:

Here's something I've never seen in the wild:

Back seat was somethin':


Are you buying it ?

Ha! No, notice we're it's located too, a bit of a drive for me  ;)
These came with an iPad as the manual.  They are very cool and would be a great cruiser.
