Obvious joke is obvious, but:  I see collaborative possibilities between Brabus and Tata Motors.

To be fair, Isuzu is still in the US market. They’ve just shifted their focus to the medium-duty COE truck market (and pretty much own that segment). What that means for Trooper parts, I have no clue, but this example deserves a NP. Read more

A greige SUV. It works, it’s systems probably work, and the miles aren’t too high. Read more

I’m literally casually shopping Isuzu SUVs in MO right now and this absolutely NP. Read more

ND. A tiny range EV does have a price point that eventually makes it make sense, but not $4k. Hoovie’s Fiat 500 EV he bought for $700 with about 30 miles of range max is a good example of one so cheap you could make an argument for it. Read more

There are like 5 people that this car has any value to, it’d be cool to own but there’s zero case for a regular person to try and daily drive this. Read more

As they used to say at the conclusion of Underdog, looks like this is the end. To the crusher with it. ND. Read more

I was on board when I saw the price initially, because $4k is a great price for just about any car that runs, but this one won’t be running for much longer.  The battery replacement is going to be many times more than the car.  ND.

More than 200K miles and the manufacturer has disappeared?  Are there ANY parts available ANYWHERE for this attempt at a car?  Sorry, but this may be a record ND. Read more

No Dice here. If it’s being sold by an actual shop that does repair work then fix the carb. Read more

Yeah, I’d do it since the hydraulics have been done. IIRC-the problem with carb is parts availability (or lack thereof), or it the thing would have been rebuilt by now. There are few cars out there that have the ride this one has.  Read more

It looks good, reasonable miles, well equipped, and a California car? I hit the NP! It's a San Francisco treat! Read more

I’m going to go with my instinct on this one. NP. The paint looks incredible on it. Fix the top and cruise with it. You’ll get plenty of attention at the local C & C. Read more

But this thing for whatever chores you need to get done and put it up on Turo the rest of the time. It’d pay for itself in no time. Easy NP. Read more

That truck is a serious money maker. Nice price all day long.  Read more
