Another week means another entry into our series featuring the sweet cars I found for sale online.

Advertisement

To compile this list, I search as much of Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist as I can for interesting vehicles that don’t cost a lot. They may be hilariously unreliable, remarkably unusual, questionably tuned, or maybe something else that stops me in my tracks. Prices for some cars are trending higher due to currently out-of-control used car prices, but I think some good deals are still out there.

2000 Acura Integra GS-R - $5,500

The Acura Integra was good all-round sports coupe from back when Japanese marques were pumping out all sorts of fun cars. This GS-R isn’t going to have the ravenous power of the fabled Type R, but it’s definitely worth some consideration.

Under the hood is a 1.8-liter B18C1 four with VTEC and a sky-high 8,000 RPM redline. That made it good for a solid 170 horsepower and comes attached to a manual transmission.

This example has low miles and presents in good shape save for some minor cosmetic issues. It’s $5,500 on Facebook Marketplace in Hagerstown, Indiana, with 84,000.

Here’s an old square body pickup that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. It’s a little rough around the edges with some minor rust, but it looks fantastic for a Midwest truck. And check this out — this thing has air-conditioning and cruise control.

The seller says that its lack of major rust is due to a life hauling around carnival rides in the summer. You get a Chevy 350 cubic-inch small block connected to a turbo 400 automatic transmission, too. It’s $4,500 on Facebook Marketplace in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

2007 Saturn Ion Redline - $5,500

A regular Saturn Ion is certainly one of the cars of all time. It’s unremarkable, forgettable transportation. That’s why an Ion Redline is pretty neat. This is a Saturn with a 2.0 L LSJ Ecotec with an Eaton M62 supercharger. It delivers 205 HP to the front wheels through a manual transmission for the most fun you’ll have in a Saturn for a while.

This one has the Competition Package, which adds a few goodies like a limited-slip differential and a tach with shift lights.

It’s $5,500 on Facebook Marketplace in Allendale, Michigan, with 152,000 miles.

Benelli is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer that opened its doors back in 1911. It’s known for making motorcycle works of art like this 250 2C Phantom. It’s powered by a 231cc twin two stroke making about 25 HP. Older bikes like these are getting hard to find, and this is an old bike that’s still pretty cheap.

It’s $2,700 on Facebook Marketplace in Schaumburg, Illinois.

If the Crosley CD Four featured earlier by our David Tracy was too much of a project for you, let me present this squeaky-clean CC Four. This restored CC is in such great condition that you could eat dinner right off of its 44 cubic inch inline four. The seller says that this particular example is an award-winner, too.

It’s $8,950 on Facebook Marketplace in Glen Ellyn, Illinois.

The GMC Typhoon has a 280 HP turbocharged 4.3-liter V6, all-wheel-drive, and a boxy two-door SUV body. This speedy SUV would run a 0 to 60 mph time in the mid-5 second range.

If the last cheap Typhoon that I featured was too much of a rustbucket for you, here’s a cleaner one that will need some different kind of love to be perfect again. Aside from faded paint, the seller says that the engine of this one smokes.

You can give it the second life it deserves for $6,950 on Craigslist in Warminster, Pennsylvania.

This week’s enthusiast car is for our Japanese Domestic Market import fans and comes courtesy of the Obscure Cars for Sale Facebook group. The Nissan Largo is a family minivan that normally isn’t much to write home about. However, this Largo was modified by the Nissan-adjacent Autech tuning house in Japan into the Highway Star, a Largo that would be at home at Radwood.

The Highway Star kit adds a flashy body kit, leather seats and sweet graphics. Power comes from a KA24DE inline four, yep, the same found in the Nissan 240SX!

This Nissan Largo Autech Highway Star is also pretty inexpensive. It’s $8,500 in Annapolis, Maryland, with 132,000 miles.

Saddled in this motorcycle’s frame is a 998 V4 putting down 122 HP. If Honda’s stunning red, white, and blue color scheme doesn’t make your heart race, maybe the motorcycle’s soundtrack will:

This one is said to be in good condition with some fresh parts. It’s $3,850 on Facebook Marketplace in Galt, California, with 39,700 miles.

America didn’t get the BMW E36 as a wagon, so this seller imported one from Germany.

It’s powered by a 2.8-liter straight six and you get to row your own through a five-speed manual transmission. The seller lists a large number of things done to this car since it arrived in America. Among those changes are a refreshed interior, new cooling system parts and front end work down to the bushings.

This one’s $16,000 on Facebook Marketplace in Seattle, Washington, with 165,000 miles.


That’s it for this week! Have you purchased a car from one of these posts? If so, I want to know.

If you know of a weird car for sale on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, drop it down in the comments or send it along in an email! If the car’s still for sale, we may feature it in a future post.
