I dunno anything about the RBs -- what's bad about the RB20DET?

Probably really heavy because it's an iron block straight 6 while not being very powerful. I think they are very common in Japanese junkyards because Nissan put them i a whole bunch of their RWD cars in the late 80 and early 90s but otherwise it seems like most people prefer the newer, more modern SR.

The interesting thing about this car is that the tail fins and tail lights look like a Plymouth, not a Dodge. That's because Chrysler used to use Plymouth bodies to build some of its Canadian market and overseas export Dodges. This is one case where the seller is right to call it rare. It's also amazing to see a forward look Mopar that has survived this long in Ontario. There's hardly ever any at the local car shows I go to.

My understanding is that it is exactly that. Such a disappointment. I remember when a friend turned in his A4 when the lease was over. This was an '05. It looked pretty decent. Not great, but the paintwork was basically flat. I then walked into the showroom to see a brand new 2011 A8 which looked like these pictures. It was the direct comparison that made this stand out so strongly to me, plus the fact that this was paint on an $80,000 car that looked like poo poo compared to a 5 year old car that sold for well under half that when it was new.

It's really a train wreck, but I don't think most "normal" people notice things like that so it doesn't affect the manufacturers enough to matter.

Take off the spoiler and get a stock hood and that car might actually be worth while. You'd really want to look into how well that swap was done though. Oh, and you may want to redo the interior to get rid of the stupid yellow.

S5x is actually a pretty common e30 M3 swap as it is reliable as hell, more powerful, and cheaper to maintain. I think S5x swaps should be left to standard e30s, but people can do what they want.

That car though, has an M5x unless for some reason they installed the M5x engine covers on the motor.

glad to know that it wasn't a real m3 that got this treatment then. I would then say that this care has a more realistic value of somewhere between 5 and 10k on the high end.
