With the stupid prices of early Gen 2 Camaros, I'd for sure build a Gen 3 Touring style machine.

I bought a UV test kit and the correct weight UV dye from an old guy at my Apknite company. I tested my 2004 toyota camry and saw absolutely no leaks. Does this confirm that the leak is coming from behind the dash now? Or is the next step to get a pressure tester and see what happens?

Ford MK1, my uncle used to drive one but he has outgrown it so he decided to sell it.

I would go for the R for the sportiness, tuneability and it should be (maybe) more reliable than the Jags.

1969 BMW 2000 - never seen an official US market version of this with the quad headlights; I’ve only ever seen the Euro market version with the flush rectangular ones.

This one is from Ontario, so I wouldn't touch it.

Bah, it's 2 yrs old.  I wouldn't let that stop me.  Had an Ontario Taurus, was no rustier than any other Taurus.  Might not have come from The COTU though.  Was a mall cop car.

Ontario cooties.  :P

I was reluctant to move to Manitoba because it touches Ontario. Gross.

Why?

MB car:


ON car:


We use salt, ON uses McD's levels of salt.  This is representative of what we think they look like after 2 yrs in ON.  Maybe 3.  Never, ever, buy an ON car.  It's the rule.  Always has been...since I was a wee little shnerp.

Meh, on a two year old car it would not worry me one iota.

Yeah, NB is pretty liberal with the application of salt and brine, and I don't worry too much about it in that kind of time frame.

2007 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG with 322k miles.  :o

$17k seems rather steep for it.

Fack me, but that's a beautiful Uber-sedan, though. 

But yeah, that price, for that mileage  :o

Half that price, MAX.  Alex on Legit paid too much for his 409K-mile BMW at $8K, but he's using the car to generate views and can fix it himself, so it makes sense.

A 500K-kms anything isn't worth much.
