Sultan Of Brunei's Lambo, 'Bubble Eye' Hummer And A Pebble Beach-Winning Bugatti In This Week's Car Buying Roundup
A collection of our best posts of the week in car buying
A number of the early Ultium EVs from Cadillac and Chevy had big issues, so much so that GM bought them back from customers. Now a few of those EVs have started to show up on the used market with big discounts. - Lawrence Hodge Read More
The Honda S2000 is one of the better cars ever put together by human hands. It’s lightweight, nimble, and rewarding to wring out to its limits. Yet, these are all qualities that I’ve heard rather than experienced, because S2000s are too damn expensive now. For example, this S2000 for sale on Marketplace, is listed for an asking price $32,000. - Amber DaSilva Read More
As a Los Angeles County native, we always referred to visiting Orange County as crossing the orange curtain because of the stark shift in political tendencies. We know things work a bit differently in OC, but that’s no excuse for the wacky convertible conversions that come out of Newport Convertible Engineering in Huntington Beach, California. This is the birthplace of the infamous convertible woodie Porsche Cayenne, for reference. - Logan Carter Read More
A Chevy dealership in upstate New York has a horrible used car for sale; a 2011 Ford Focus, and boy, is it in bad shape. It is likely one of, if not the worst, used car I’ve ever seen for sale through a dealership. - Lawrence Hodge Read More
If you could see into the future, it would no doubt be populated by cars like today’s Nice Price or No Dice i8. Once part of BMW’s grand scheme to build more frugal cars that are still fun, this is now just a piece of history. Let’s see if its price makes it one for the books. - Rob Emslie Read More
Kevin is helping his in-laws replace their BMW X5 PHEV which is too big and unwieldy for aging drivers. They are looking for something smaller, but still in the luxury space and like the idea of having a hybrid powerplant. With a budget up to $70,000, what car should they buy? - Tom McParland Read More
It’s not often that one of the Sultan of Brunei’s cars comes up for sale, even though he has thousands of them. However, today is the automotive world’s lucky day because one of his custom creations — a one-off 1986 Lamborghini LM002 “Wagon” — is being auctioned off for the very first time. - Andy Kalmowitz Read More
Usually, you’d think owning a Hummer H1 would be more than enough to stand out from the crowd, but that just wasn’t the case for rapper and record producer Master P. Back in 1994, took a regular H1 and turned it into something even more eye-catching: the H1 “Bubble Eye.” I’ve got some good news for you, it’s for sale. You can own this thing. - Andy Kalmowitz Read More
If you want to own a Pebble Beach–winning automobile but don’t want to actually do any of the restoration or competition work yourself, boy have we got the car for you. This spectacular 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante won its class at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance last year, and next month during Monterey Car Week it’ll be offered up for auction by Gooding & Company. - Daniel Golson Read More
Today’s Nice Price or No Dice Cappuccino is a JDM Kei Car, so it’s right-hand drive and sports an incredibly tiny engine. Let’s see if the asking price makes us think this is one special Kei. - Rob Emslie Read More
