Cheap Honda Prologues, A Screaming Chicken And Ken Block Subaru WRX STI In This Week's Car Buying Roundup
A collection of our best posts of the week in car buying
While the EV market is experiencing rapid sales growth, many car buyers still prefer hybrids as they benefit from reduced fuel usage but don’t have to worry about a charging infrastructure still in development. Honda lease shoppers on the fence between EV and hybrid would be wise to compare the programs as a much more expensive Prologue is substantially cheaper to lease than any other Honda model. - Tom McParland Read More
Today, being Thanksgiving here in the U.S., most of us are thinking about one kind of bird: the turkey. I will offer you an alternative: the screaming chicken on the hood of today’s Nice Price or No Dice classic Trans Am. Between eating, watching football, and naps, let’s decide what this bird might be worth. - Rob Emslie Read More
Who’d have ever thought the only company selling a fully electric station wagon in America today would be Porsche? Today’s Nice Price of No Dice Taycan is one of those wagons, and while used, it’s new enough to still be under warranty. Let’s see if it’s under budget as well. - Rob Emslie Read More
Today’s Nice Price or No Dice Rolls is called a “collector’s item” by its seller, but suffers from a salvage title which might mitigate that collectability. Let’s see how this luxury barge fairs in our critique. - Rob Emslie Read More

It’s been almost two years since Ken Block tragically passed away in a snowmobile accident. The 55-year-old was the co-founder of DC Shoes and Hoonigan Industries, as well as the star of the Gymkhana video series. Block also competed as a rally driver, and now, this Vermont SportsCar-converted 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI that both he and Travis Pastrana drove from 2007 to 2008 is for sale on Cars & Bids. Oh, and did I mention that it’s street legal, at least in the state of Maine? Yeah, exactly. - Collin Woodard Read More
Do you have way too much money and a strong desire to impress your friends? If the answer is yes, then boy have I got the car for you. And no, we aren’t talking about those piddly little hypercars that anyone can buy with a few phone calls and a handshake. Those things are comparatively cheap and not even all that rare. Instead, you should bid on this 1954 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R, a car RM Sotheby’s claims is “the first Streamliner-bodied W 196 R ever offered for private ownership.” - Collin Woodard Read More
While coated in fresh “mellow yellow” paint, today’s Nice Price or No Dice Mercedes is anything but mellow in either presentation or price. Let’s see how much green we might all think it should actually cost. - Rob Emslie Read More
