$4500. :manuel: and only 130k, and brah claims to have all receipts. This should last forever.
I love those TSXs with the :manuel:. Just avoid the red, they all turn pink. :lol:

That one is suspect but the rest are real.

I've looked off and on for Celicas over the past few years now and they're incredibly hard to find in decent shape. Everyone who has ever owned one apparently beat the shit out of it. On the rare occasion that you find a nice one, they are often accompanied by $10k+ asking prices. :derp:

That's why I'd focus on stuff that's less desirable and thus depreciated further - like everything from Saturn, Pontiac, Saab, Mazda, Mercury, Kia/Hyundai, and really sedans/hatches in general.

Want a Max-approved V8 barge?

Want a more sporty chassis with better fuel economy and heated seats?

"Cute" coupe with V6 powah?

https://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/d/ ... 39045.html

If you're cool with a couple of dents/scratches, you can get what would actually be a reasonably entertaining :manuel: appliance for near poverty pricing:

https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/d ... 33078.html

Those Milans are pretty good cars. It's a badge-engineered first gen Mazda6/Fusion, complete with double wishbone suspension.
I'm currently texting and driving the Fusion. It's a solid appliance, inoffensive, reliable, comfortable, more fun to drive than a Camry, but that's about it. Not a bad gf/wife car.

No.

I'm talking 10ish years old in decent shape.

Like that Milan I posted, 107k mile 2006 with :manuel: in a good color with just a fender dent for $1999. A similar civic is $5k or more.

:iono:

The 06-12 or whatever, pre-Aston-grille Fusion/Milan/Zephyr have a pretty good chassis in addition to being cheap as hell :doe:

It's comparable to the Accord but for half the price.

The other reason cheap cars are cheaper: taxes. $150 more per year for the Mazda than the Vibe. :thanksobama:ImageImage

The previous impala and Chrysler 200 I rented are really :aintcare: appliances. Though I like the 200 chrysler way better, same with my friends 2014 Impala too, much nicer and more comfortable than the previous.

It's not capped. Expensive cars are expensive. It's tied to some NADA valuation. Rich don't get richer in this particular case.

Wow that’s pretty wild. Cali caps at $550 (a year) but the communist government just raised it...
pay 10% tax when you fucking buy the car, pay 50 cents a gallon in gas taxes and then on top of that annual bullshit
