V12 + MT = A-OK
I love the 8-Series bimmer. This car seemed so far ahead of its time when it launched, and it happened to launch just after I started driving. I remember this not only from car magazines at the time, but from Car Stereo Review. BMW was reaching for the stars, and this car was quite iconic.…

Bait ‘n Switch Ad Still Yeilds Interesting Car
The headline of this ad reads “2003 Volkswagen Passat 4dr Wgn W8 4MOTION 6-spd Manual – $8999.” I clicked because genuine 6-speed W8 Wagons do exist, but a look at the images in this ad shows it has an automatic. Still, any W8 is an interesting piece, and the wagon is 47% cooler. These were…

Micro-Subie with Questionable Band Link
We’re not sure exactly what’s for sale here. Does “both need a little work” refer to the car and the seller? The second car in the images is clearly an Isetta, and not a Subaru. The upside here is that the “Young” likely refers to either a Young S or Young SS. These were the…

Parts car for an RS Turbo?
We recently posted an Isuzu Impulse RS Turbo, pointing out how rare these cars are. In fact, any second generation (JT22) Impulse is a rare bird, which means parts are not easy to find. Perhaps you bought, or are thinking about buying, the RS we posted before and you want a parts car. Well, we…

1.7 Liters of V4 Fury!
The seller claims this is an all original car, but doesn’t say anything about the condition. Still, the single picture available seems to back the originality claim and it looks like it has potential. I love these quirky little cars! Obviously, this needs an inspection before we can comment on whether it’s a great deal.…

Cool Fiat 124 Coupé (CC)
Here’s one you don’t see often, the Fiat 124 Coupé, this being the third generation, known as the 124 CC. These rear-wheel-drive coupes offer interesting styling and this CC had the largest displacement and highest output offered in this body. The seller claims this went in for paint in 2008 and was never fully reassembled.…

More NASCAR badness: 1992 Grand Prix Richard Petty Edition
We’ve never before seen a 1992 Grand Prix Richard Petty Edition, but that’s okay. This is yet another GM NASCAR tribute car with decals added and little, if anything, else. This one’s described as a parts car or restoration project. We can guess which one it will end up… At $600, we don’t think it’s…

Rarity + AWD + Turbo. What’s not to love?
We’ve featured a couple of first generation Impulses here, but this is the first time we’ve shown a second gen car. The second gen donated many bits to the Geo Storm, but only the Impulse came in AWD, Turbo form. This car needs some cosmetic attention and the seller claims it has an intermittent starting…

Not for US consumption: 1998 Mistubishi Pajero Jr. “Flying Pug”
We’ve never seen one of these and probably won’t for years. This 1998 can’t be registered in the US for almost ten more years. This supposedly isn’t an official kei car due to size, but it’s in the same vain. The Pajero Junior was a small SUV for the Japan market and this Flying Pug…

Another Festiva Two-Fer
We posted a Festiva Two-Fer back in June, and the rest is history. Well, yet another such ad has appeared! It seems cars like this often come as pairs. This has LeMons potential with a healthy dose of price negotiation. The seller is asking $1,000 for both cars. Two cars for $1K sounds decent, but…
