Anyone want to guess how many times that beast has seen 62K kilometers?

Only if you’re afraid of hiding a wire or two.

Well, if his son is anything like mine he’d buy a car in Oregon if it hit all of the right buttons. However, I don’t think there are any more sons like mine. Where did I go wrong?

This is so quintessential 80's. I love it. would flip the Maverick for this one.

this also caught my eye as a toy. This particular one has some choices I don't like, and some scary issues, but I always thought of something like this as a hobby project to get a fun car to enjoy. My idea was basically to take a clean body (assuming you can find a rust free example) cabriolet, and upgrade with a combo of GTI and aftermarket pieces. Basically a semi-clone of something never made, and a resto mod! There are plenty of parts available, and these seem to be very simple to work on. A nice dark red of blue with GTI plaid seats, a set of BBS wheels, and go from there!

I saw an article that stated the average used car note was at 12% interest - not sure I believe that, but with new car rates around 5-7%, I guess that's not too far off.

I mostly like that Jeep. I would take. Look if local since it comes with the hardtop. Only 2 issues. One, the automatic disqualifies it out the gate. And 2, if it was up here, almost guaranteed the chassis would be one big piece if rusty metal. They all are.

Speaking of that, I should take it for a wash later today as I am off today. Try to get it washed at least once every 10 days or so.

Otherwise, if you feel like having another project, then why not? Or, you could see if the owner of this gem wants to swap with you!

Square light generation are the least desirable from what I understand.
C&B on got $6100 for that square light. Where is the profit if you have to fix anything?

I was under the impression that those Wagoneers when for a lot more money.
When I looked at the completed auctions for them on C&B, 25k is a pretty good number.
Most of them were the woody type.

Pretty original, I think.
That’s more proof of the old sales law that says, “you don’t give away what you can sell”.

Vroom says they will send me an offer via email.
I am not unhappy, I paid $10,500 and spent about $1,000 on maintenance and upgrades (stereo, backup camera).

Payment is $353 a month, so just under 10k in interest over the life of the loan.
