Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: 966-Kilometer 2001 Mexican Beetle For $10,900?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: 966-Kilometer 2001 Mexican Beetle For $10,900?-November 2024

How much is too much? How much is way too much? Does that car have a Nice Price, or is it time to take your sorry self to Booth Number Two for the Crack Pipe?

We had another Nice Price winner last time, with an overwhelming 75% of you believing that . We're considering another German car today, though it was built right here in North America. That's right, one of the last of the Mexican Beetles; by 2003, the 65-year run of our favorite clattery little air-cooled machine ended forever, so this low-mileage '01 is pretty close to the newest Old Beetle that money can buy. Oh, sure, you'll be in for a real adventure if you try to register it outside of Mexico, and it's partway through a conversion to the old-style bumpers (which means there are no turn signals), but it's still a pretty cool car. $10,900, though? What do you think?

[, thanks to Ben for the tip!]

Only 2,677 were built. I've only encountered one a single time, and that was a beater. The very…

Could This 1970.5 Ford Falcon bring $16,500?
Could This 1970.5 Ford Falcon bring $16,500?
Oh well oh well everybody's heard, about the bird... You haven't yet heard about today's bird, but you will, and then you'll have to decide if its price might make you want to flip it the bird. Lincoln's '60s Continental, with its low-slung looks and suicide rear doors, was once...

A Topless 2000 Jeep Cherokee for $6,500?
A Topless 2000 Jeep Cherokee for $6,500?
The Jeep Wrangler offers what is presently this country's only 4-door 4x4 convertible. If even that's just too common for you, then today's custom Cherokee might just top your heap, that is if its price doesn't make you blow your top. There are two trails associated with the name Cherokee,...

This 1987 SHO-Equipped Mercury Sable Is Asking $5,000
This 1987 SHO-Equipped Mercury Sable Is Asking $5,000
Today's candidate is a mythical beast, a Mercury Sable wagon that was long ago SHO-ified. You know you want it, but for five thousand bucks, you'll have to decide if the SHO must go on. Why can't you people make things easy for me? Case in point, yesterday's was neck...

AWD Title Fight: 2015 Subaru WRX STI VS. 2015 Audi S3
AWD Title Fight: 2015 Subaru WRX STI VS. 2015 Audi S3
Around 300 turbocharged ponies. Four doors. All-wheel drive. A legacy of rally racing that can only be described as legendary. The and are, at heart, remarkably similar cars. But they go about their missions very differently. There’s a night and day difference in character between the two. The WRX STI...

Could This 1966 Continental 4X4 Pull $9,000?
Could This 1966 Continental 4X4 Pull $9,000?
The seller of today' candidate describes it as alternatively a Continental masquerading as a Ford F250, or vice-versa. You ned to determine if its price isn't some sort of bamboozling switcheroo. Some of you lamented that yesterday's (Good ol' #934) belonged in a museum, one of you went so far...

This Saab 99 Turbo Is $37,000? There Must Be A Story!
This Saab 99 Turbo Is $37,000? There Must Be A Story!
There have been Saabs numbered 99 and 900, but today's Swede is specifically number 934. You'll need to decide if that number's import means its price is worth all its numbers. You're not listening to me people. I schooled you on close calls yesterday and what do you go and...
