      I LOVE the 1st and 2nd generations of the MR2.

      Beautiful cars.

      @Just-Jeepin i KNOW! It's ridiculous what we have become accustomed to. I swoon over that TJ as well, but I do not think I could pull that trigger to buy it for $30k (fees, taxes, etc). I'd go to Arizona and get one and drive it back to Michigan and build it out. Like you said, it's a $60k new Jeep though. I dunno. I think I'll just drive my '12 JK till it dies then ride my fat tire bike everywhere else....

      @Just-Jeepin -- The bit about "Bubbling paint and corrosion are noted by the selling dealer." might be putting a damper on the bidding. They must be remarkably honest and/or have better eyes than mine; I stepped through a number of the abundant pictures and any such things must be subtle. Here's hoping this magnificent grande dame of days gone by finds a good home -- surely it won't make reserve anywhere near four figures (people ask nine or so for "before" pictures).

      @Just-Jeepin Beware the aftermarket turbo on that engine. The ST engine was never intended to deal with that. Source, my second car was a 1980 Celica ST.

      @dieseldub Well said on 98 vs 2010+. The rules changed so fast, and so did customer preferences and demands, and VW got caught in the middle and made a bad choice, but I’m not going to pretend the rules and regs were ever really that fair or logical, especially in the US. Diesel was almost always doomed here* and had the deck stacked against it.

      *currently in the UK, where diesel is still doing really well, which I didn’t expect! But the fuel is still pretty cheap. Not the $1-$2 premium like at home.

      So lightning does strike twice. The second Jag Super V8 Portfolio sold for $170k seemingly to the underbidder on the one last week.

      A bit of research says the Portfolio spec Super V8 is pretty rare with only 70 being sold in the States. Even so these are huge premiums over a regular XJ or XJR of this era and the price is probably around MSRP once adjusted for inflation to today’s money.

      This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing a lot of Audis in the shop in my time. 🙂

      As a 2001 VAG owner myself, I would run, I'd run so far away. Even if it's mechanically perfect, every single plastic on this car is on its last legs. And probably most of the rubber, too. Every repair or mod will create 3 more issues.

      @drVanTraveler -- Reserve not met at $11,250

      The appropriate price to me is that of a driver-grade backyard fix-up of a Cutlass. I make this one to be in fair condition (visible flaws; runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention) in the tough Hagerty grading scheme, and those have a value in the high nines.

      Assuming that it passes a rigorous tinworm inspection, given the location (Massachusetts).

      A real 4-4-2 of this kind would be worth 2.5x that in Fair condition, almost 4x if it graded out as Good, but faking one doesn't add value in my eyes and (depending on how well done) might even detract from it, especially if it retains the (admittedly not exactly chopped liver) 350 rather than getting a 455. But plainly the dealer who got this one last month wants more. Not from me he doesn't.

      @Just-Jeepin -- Always loved the looks of those—sort of a contemporary Mustang hand-carved from a solid ingot of old money. Great color for it too. The only one I've ever encountered in the wild wasn't doing well, but it wheezed around downtown in the most to-the-manor-born manner imaginable.

      I am getting just a little OCD about that side marker, though. Since this is an English car, you have to wonder if that's a documented factory anomaly they're preserving, or it is ready to spontaneously disengage, or what. It seems to be receiving electrons at the moment, so there's that...

      @Chariotoflove So far so good, except for trying to tumble down a hillside once or twice. Kentucky highways are curving, hilly, narrow, and often neither a shoulder nor guardrail.

      @Just-Jeepin said in Hour rule:

      [*] Reasonable for BaT, of course. It's already encroaching on CP territory at $2500.

      Well kept but...

      Per the BaT description, actual mileage is unknown, but a Carfax entry from 2021 showed 234,000 miles. The seller has put 200 miles on it, suggesting to me either a flipper or someone who merged onto the Interstate in front of a semi with his a power-to-weight ratio resembling an air-cooled VW Beetle, minus whatever the automatic costs you, and started imagining himself as a character from Flatland. All that blows cold for me, unlike the air conditioning.

      @Just-Jeepin Sold for $9300. Jeebus. I really hate the "classic" car market right now.

      I remember test-driving one of these many years ago. I started it up and the oil light was on. The seller said, "Oh, that just means it's low. I'll go pick up a quart tomorrow."

      A week later it was still for sale, for half the price, and with a note saying "needs engine."

      One of my late, best friend’s was a legend of turbo 4cyl Fox bodies and the ‘four eyed pride’ forum. I never loved the look but thanks to him I admire nice ones. That is certainly a nice one. My bias for FOX cars is the Lincoln MarkVII and Thunderbird though.

      @Just-Jeepin Looks like it ended at $275k.

      That's ~$2,100 per month for 20 yrs.

      These are also small by RV standards, 254" long and 83" wide. About the same as a crew cab / 8ft bed pickup.

      @Just-Jeepin Last night I read the description and comments somewhere between I skim and a full read, and found no mention of whether the paint and interior was original, nor any mention of a refurb. If it is not original paint they did a good job of recreating the not overly shine look of old school auto paint. Anyway, Gremlins have a certain cool factor and this one retains the essence of it's malaise era origins very well. Nothing US made is very good to drive, so it is not unique there. I think it should do pretty well.

      It's interesting, but I suspect the aesthetics will have a limited appeal. Personally, I don't like the styling choices made. I guess the worst of it could be solved by removing the minivan bench seat from the back.

      Great question. The new one is a much better car. But the old one is a much cooler car. Even though the new one is pretty stinking cool.

      @Just-Jeepin She's a good one. I'm thinking $80k.

      That's still hard for me to wrap my brain around since I've never paid more than $2k for a Z.

      @Just-Jeepin I'm referencing the backlash Matt Farah got from other Porsche over his choice of pink, people were really incensed that he would do that, and their main argument seemed to be resale

      @Just-Jeepin Goddamn that thing is sweet! And while the $16k is a bit more than I'd pay for that beast it's reasonable.

      Scary

      @Just-Jeepin I had a SERIOUS Corvair hankering for a couple weeks all too recently. But I was shooting for the later models with the better suspension and 4spd manuel.

      @glemon Yeah there aren't that many around, its probably easier to get one from an importer.

      @WilliamsSW That's fine as long as he and Oppo get a cut.

      Just Jeepin'

      @Tripper @ranwhenparked @BJ I think I’d rearrange the seats and presto: $1000/hour limo.

      Man. Columbus GA. I could have brought my trailer. That's only a few hours from me. I've driven further with my son for his purchase of broken down jetski hulks.

      Might have another 10k or 20k miles left in that V12. My mother in law would have had fun with it.

      @Ad-absurdum-per-aspera Ford was… not good at that initially, while I agree that Chrysler handled it the best.

      GM was a very mixed bag. The Corvette was the pinnacle of how to do it, but some of GMs efforts (like the B bodies) were pretty bad.

      It’s not like BMW or Mercedes did much better though. It wasn’t easy to do.

      @Just-Jeepin What even are those bumpers? It's like someone went to a high school welding shop and said "Hey, can you make me a box that fits around these dimensions?" And the students put in the minimum effort necessary.

      Some people buy unique cars because they appreciate the car's uniqueness, and others buy unique cars because they want to brag about being unique. This car's mods suggest to me that this car was owned by the latter.

      I inherited one of these in 2003. A 1981 Aries wagon, brown with tan interior (no wood) in perfect condition, always garage kept. My grandmother literally took it to church and the grocery store. It had 30,000 miles. I did not love it at the time, after driving 90's Hondas most of my driving career by then. It worked though, and I drove it for a bit, then sold it to a friend.

      I sure wouldn't pay $5k for one now, but I guess I am wrong on that take.
