Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: $57,500 For A 20,000-Mile 1987 AMG Hammer?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: $57,500 For A 20,000-Mile 1987 AMG Hammer?-June 2024

OK, so 78% of our readers believe the is overpriced at $69,900. We can see that, but we're going to present you with a much tougher call today: a gen-yoo-wine, low-mile Hammer!

Nowadays, a 3,700-pound sedan with a 375-horsepower V8 under the hood is pretty respectable, but back in 1987 it was utterly insane. You'd have paid over 170 grand for an '87 Mercedes-Benz 300E with the full 6.0 liter AMG treatment, and that comes to about $318,000 in 2009 bucks. So, is such a car, with just 19,600 miles on the clock and apparently in excellent condition, and the owner has set a $57,500 Buy It Now price for it. Let's face it, this thing is one of the all-time great factory hot rods and no doubt quite valuable, but is 58 grand edging into Crack Pipe pricing territory with the economy the way it is now? You decide!

[, thanks to John for the tip!]

How many ponies would you trust your car’s front wheels to handle? Today’s Sentra sends 200 horses stampeding their way. Let’s see if this rowdy sedan’s price makes all that horsing around worth it. Last Friday I invited you to all to posit your opinion as to just exactly what...

This is a 707-horsepower . It’s fast, it’s good for burnouts and it looks like it’s been oxidized over many years. Someone chose for the car to look like that, commissioning a wrap that likely cost a few grand to make it happen. doesn’t sell as a factory color. The...

At $12,200, Could This 1981 Cadillac Seville Limo Give You a Rustle in Your Bustle?
The second generation Cadillac Seville initiated a whole generation of bustle-back booty calls. Today’s candidate has the added advantage of an extended wheelbase and limo accommodations. Let’s see what that all might just be worth. Rodney Dangerfield famously claimed that he “got no respect, no respect at all.” He was...

At $10,000, Could This 1993 VW Corrado SLC VR6 Finally Get its Due?
Unlike its predecessor, the Scirocco, today’s Corrado isn’t named for a wind. Let’s see if this heavily customized coupe’s price makes it almost free as a breeze, or, if it just blows. In the 1999 film She’s All That, a football player makes a bet with his buddies that he...
