For $87,000, Roller over Beethoven

Today, goes continental with a Dusseldorf-donked Rolls Royce Kombi Estate.

For $5,000, beat on the brat with a baseball bat, oh yeah

If you jones for alfresco backwards freeway rides and off-road acumen, then Subaru's original Brat can't be beat. Today's California ex-pat Brat isn't too beat up, but is its price warrant a beat down? Rolls Royce Motor Cars, that bastion of English aristocracy and riffraff exclusion, is in fact owned...

For $6,500, this Town and Country is a special K

The two for one offer is a marketing gimmick older than the Shamwow and more compelling than than an amped up Oxiclean pitch. Today's K-car offers both Town and Country, plus a but wait there's more Neon SRT4 engine. Will its price however, keep you from calling now? Speaking of...

For $27,000, live the life of riley while riley is away

Elf is eleven in the Deutsch, and today's Riley is truly a Mini that goes to eleven. The seller says it's like a minuscule Rolls Royce but is its price not mini enough? The position of Riley in the history of the automobile is notable, but did not become so...

For $3,500, try and blend in

Honda makes a mid-sized pick-up that being the somewhat awkward Pilot-based Rimjob Ridgeline, but they lack a mini-truck. Today's custom Civic fills that tiny truck product gap, but is its price too much to pick it up? The Honda Civic has become so pervasive a model globally that it has...

For $11,000, this 914 SBC should be PDQ

There are certain things that you wouldn't think go well together, like chicken and chocolate, and yet Mole Poblano con Pollo is freaking fantastic. Today's formerly air-cooled Porsche 914 seems a perfect mate for a wet and wild SBC, but does its price match expectations? Fully 88% of you were...

For $6,000, börk my ride

Like Rodney Dangerfield, Volvo's innocuous C70 don't get no respect. Well, that's about to change - for the car at least - because today's Volvo is too pimped to be diss'd, but will you find its price equally respectable? About the time the amazing Aretha Franklin was demanding respect in...

For $6,250, experience an E30-gasm

Few cars have established themselves as epochal and overshadowing of both predecessor and inheritor as has BMW's E30 3-Series. Today's 325i looks amazing, but will its price and salvage title make it less than epic? There's something ineffable about the e30 - a car that seems to have set the...

For $13,995, it’s not that kind of a pacer

The Indianapolis 500 has an actual yard of bricks, and the annual winner does chug from a cold bottle of milk. Today's Mustang is also part of the Indy tradition, but will its price garner it a DNF? BMW has yet to field a car at Indy, but if you...

For $16,500, Vita-Meata-Vegamino

The failure of Chevy's Vega was possibly not just due to its reputation for horrific durability, but also - with only two-door sedan, hatchback coupe, and wagon offerings - for its dearth of body style choice. Today's Vegamino, with it's mid-mounted V8 fixes that problem, but is its price still...

For $5,200, the Accordamino could steal your heart

Perhaps due to their ubiquity, the 1994 Honda Accord is consistently in the top ten list of most stolen vehicles in the U.S.. Today's Accord Pickup will standout in a lineup, but is its price a steal, or a crime? Not criminal, but Crack Pipe, that was the consensus yesterday...

For $1,500, do you want fries with that?

If you should choose to dine exclusively at fast food joints, you will likely shorten your life by decades, and when you do die, you will require a hearse with Kenworth on its grille. In contrast, today's Benz W123 can sup on the dregs of burger joints with impunity, but...
