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?-November 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!]

The 2019 Porsche GT3 RS Is The Exception To The Rules Of Physics
For those who say a Porsche 911 Carrera S, GTS, Turbo or Turbo S are simply not enough, there are the GT2 and GT3 models. They’re insane, overpowered, meant for the race track and come with the six-figure price tags to match. And the , somehow, is on a whole...

The 2018 Volvo S90 Is The Thoughtful Luxury Sedan
The will make you feel fancier just by sitting in it. Between its clean Swedish lines and ornamental buttons, you may leave this car wondering why any other luxury car exists. If it’s not as fancy as the Volvo, just take it away. It is unworthy of carrying you. (:...

At $15,250, Could This 2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Get You To Pony Up?
Ford’s Mustang has always been a survivor. And, as today’s Mach 1 proves, its special edition models keep coming back in zombie-like fashion. Will this S95’s price however, still prove worth waking the dead? In Greek myth, the Sirens were a race of beach babes who lured unwitting sailors to...

At $23,500, Could This Hayabusa-Powered 2002 Smart ForTwo Be For You?
At $23,500, Could This Hayabusa-Powered 2002 Smart ForTwo Be For You?
With its estimated 173-horsepower, today’s ‘Smartacus’ packs about four-times the ponies of a stock ForTwo. Let’s see if this wild custom’s price is also a factor too high. As I noted in the comments on last Friday’s, I’ve owned two of Ford’s ponies over the years. One of them was...

I Want To Sell My BMW And Replace It With A Rally Car! What Car Should I Buy?
Austin, who is surprisingly from Texas, has a BMW that he wants to sell and use the proceeds for something that he can transform into a machine that’s part daily driver and part rally-racer. This is a goal we can all support, so what car should he buy? (Welcome back...

Living With The 2018 Subaru BRZ tS Was A Bigger Commitment Than I Expected
The and its twin the have been go-to picks for “fun and affordable” forever. After a week in the limited production range topping $33,000 , I’ve made some realizations about this car. (: Subaru allowed me to borrow a BRZ tS for a week for a shakedown. While doing so,...
