Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $5000 Skoda Octavia Wagon?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $5000 Skoda Octavia Wagon?-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:19

What's a reasonable price for a cool old car? Our readers are cold-eyed realists, or maybe you're all just plain cheapskates, and the last Nice Price vehicle was .

Today we're going to consider a car that's been generating tips for about a year now; the seller just won't give up, and we've lost count of the number of times readers have tipped us on it. It's an undeniably awesome machine: a Czech station wagon! It's in very nice condition and includes all the original manuals, keys, the works. The seller had it priced much higher for quite a while, but now the price has come down to $5,000 (Bring A Trailer has done a good job of since it's been on sale). It costs about $2,000 to get a car shipped over from the Czech Republic- I know, because I'm considering doing so myself- and you could probably get a nice Octavia Combi over there for a couple grand… but this one is already DMV-approved and its papers are in order, thus enabling you to avoid an during the registration process. What do you think?

At $20,500, Does This 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG Aim To Please?
Loathe as we all may be to call any car with four doors a coupe, today’s CLS might just get a pass because it’s so dang pretty. With its AMG V8, it should be pretty quick too, but we’ll have to decide if it’s priced to sell just as...

At $23,900, Could This Viper-Powered 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 Get You To Bite?
The name of today’s Dodge Challenger SRT-8 is a bit of an untruth seeing as it now sports an, albeit incomplete, V10 swap. Let’s just see how true the price on this custom project works out to be. There were two sorts of comments on yesterday’s — those that...

At $17,250, Could You Be Moved To Buy This 2011 Scion xB Mobility Car?
