eBay Challenge: Buying A Future Classic Under $20,000-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:46

As we've seen recently, . Having said that, I pose this challenge: Find the best car you can buy on eBay for a meager $20k budget that will appreciate over time. You have 24 hours.

Selections aren't limited to simply 'cars' (kit cars, trucks, and military/commercial vehicles included)Cars must have a realistic selling price under $20,000. Completed and sold listings can be included. You can add modifications, as long as it doesn't go over the total budget.Write a short reason why your car will likely appreciate over time.

I'll arrange the best selections for your viewing pleasure, after bidding on every suggestion and laughing all the way to the bank.

The Audi Allroad has become a running joke as possibly the least reliable car ever made, and for pretty damn good reason. Between the notoriously finicky 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 engine (same as in the vaunted B5 S4) and the early 2000s air suspension (read: terrible), there is just way too...

Matt and Sophie’s YouTube series, “Engines And Unfinished Business,” about their casual Toyota restoration is better than any gassy, monstrous “car build” show I’ve ever seen. It’s cute, simple, and must be credible because British accents! The story will be familiar to many of you: here’s a moderately interesting car,...
