2009 BMW 335i, 2003 Corvette cnv. (RIP 2001 Jaguar XK8 cnv and 1985 MB 380SE [the best of the lot])
126s were so ahead of their time at launch, it took the competition nearly a decade to catch up. They are maybe the best mix of a modern and vintage car, timeless classic styling but they don't drive like an antique. For your 380SE, nice presentable driver with no pressing needs should be able to be found for around 10K. For a pampered baby, maybe 20K.
No, I have NO Idea why the hell I'd ever consider another MB. This would be for my kid.

It will happen for me, but not until the kids are older and I have more time to tinker. I’d also like to be able to drive it around down the shore, but even in the garage there not a good climate for the car. If I wouldn’t have it for the weekends it would never get used.

hmmm... well, it is at auction, so no way to know about the harness. No rust issues reported, and they are usually real sticklers on that. Was the wiring harness related to corrosion? So, if a super clean car, would it be less of a concern?

Sometimes I regret letting it go, but in my defense, it was getting pretty bad. At this point, I guess my record for length of ownership is the DeSoto. I forget the exact day I bought it, but it was sometime in late September, 1990. So, going on 32 years.
Lemko would have me beat, though. I know he bought his '89 Brougham brand-new, so depending on the exact date, he'd be at 33, maybe even almost 34 years!
Mine was a slant 6, with a 3 speed on the floor. Wasn’t going to save that.

Kent Bergsma says not to be afraid, but as someone who doesn't like that kind of work, I am afraid - budget a couple grand for it at least, if not DIY. Or if you are DIY, plan on a project:

I’ve been focusing on LHD models from there for him. Most of the german, swedish, and italian cars there are LHD. Bidding on a Volvo 240 tonight.

Here is a pic of the backseat, at least, and one of the wheels.
someone online had the same question about 804. According to the posts, it is the change year of modification (?). https://www.slkworld.com/threads/data-card-request.578171/

Maybe the mystery code has an administrative function. Is there a build date on the decoder? Maybe a very end of year/beginning of year car.
Somebody loved it
Surprised there's no hipster cult after these

Now a vintage car

Not sure what it is worth, locally issued plate and frame from the 70s/80s era dealer caught my eye

One of the most interesting cars I find, and of course photos are photos of photos probably taken in 1996

The 90s
and I have a strange attraction to the Fiat. Though the thought of wedging my wife and me into it and driving around gives me a chuckle. But when I was in middle school, my sister (just out of HS at the time) had a yellow one. her 6'3" BF (future husband) hated it. partly because he was too tall, but mostly because he was the one constantly working on it! I remember I could sit in it and put my fingertips on the driveway with the door closed.

but a few years into a new house with at least 1 young child at the time, could not quite justify getting it. but it was a lot of fun. and I was a lot more limber in those days.

I remember in 1989 the lease I had on my '85 MR2 was ending and I went to the leasing company office to buy it. The buyout price was crazy low and the owner wanted to keep it to flip himself. He had gotten a new Miata to park out front in that blue color to try to get me into a new lease with it. I normally like blue but I didn't care for that shade and wasn't interested in it anyway, so I wrote the check for the buyout and left in my MR2.

My favorite would be that 59’ New Yorker but black would be a better color.

This storm is not going to help with the shortage of cars for sale. Though probably saved caravans and carmax from taking some big losses.

Beware of used cars from FL for the next many months.
Not just FL. Myrtle Beach flooded too, so I’d imagine any SC coastal area.
