Is that one of those rear-facing seats like my (and everybody's) grandmother's old station wagon? I loved those seats.

A good friend of mine got a blowjob in one of those rear-facing wagon seats while his father was driving the car. I sat in that same seat, but all I got was nauseated from exhaust fumes. I should have held my breath for the hour it took us to idle our way out of the jam-packed parking lot following that Billy Graham event.

Yeah I am not too fond of how people are now demanding a premium for them.

I texted the seller this morning. No response and the listing has been removed. Balls.

10 years ago was also before Cash for Clunkers. XJs were the 6th highest destroyed car on the list with many tens of thousands of them destroyed, not to mention the rest that have naturally gone to the scrapyard or rusted away since then.

Kinda hard comparing today's used car prices with ten years ago. There's also inflation to consider.

The used car market is in total influx. There is deals to be had, but with craigslist, it seems like its become a lot harder to snatch them up.

I am starting to just drive through small towns and see whats out there for sale. I just hate carrying any amount of cash over $100.

That looks like old lady parking lot damage; the owner probably doesn't consider it an "accident" unless it hits another car.

99 was mechanically the peak year for Cherokee freaks, so they command a bit of a premium. 97 and 01 XJs still sell, but slower and lower.

Well, I drove it today. AC doesn't work, it reeks of coolant, rear power windows don't go down. Rear wiper doesn't work. Roof rail on the passenger side has been bent to poo poo and hammered back into place. Power steering pump loving screams when you turn the wheel. Massive clunk when shifting from reverse. I went to find some gravel but the salesman told me I couldn't engage 4WD without putting a deposit down.

Edit: They also don't mention it was in an accident in their ad but it had a huge CARFAX sticker on the windshield. Also this



According to the salesman "it's just spark plugs, a new set and that'll go away."

Uh huh. Sure.

The last time I test-drove a used car it was a Mazdaspeed Miata on behalf of a friend who couldn't drive stick. It drove alright, but the entire rear shelf that the roof folded down into was full of mold and water. I tried pointing it out to the sales guy and he told me it wasn't his problem, I laughed and we walked out.

Offer 500 and walk.

That's a dashboard pull, hatch wiring harness rebuild (they break at the flex boot), some junkyard parts, a PS pump, probably motor mounts and trans mount and ujoints in the driveshafts, and a paint huffing retard of a salesperson who thinks you can break an XJ on stock tires by putting it in 4wd.

Should have used the key trick to pull the codes in front of him :v:

No poo poo. I wouldn't buy any 4wd without putting it in 4H and 4L. My rule of thumb is if I can't get it into every gear on my test drive, I'm not interested.


This has netted me a speeding ticket once when I was test riding a motorcycle for my wife, but small price to pay. The bike was great, she bought it that day, but the guy was starting to think I'd stolen it since I was gone a while (getting a ticket)!

"Rhyno, I understand you test drove one of our used vehicles today and were less than impressed with it's advertised condition. Please understand that we move a massive volume of budget priced used cars that sometimes in our haste we miss details or minor issues with the car. Now having read your write up I can see there are some major issues with this Jeep that need to be remedied and I will do my best to do so immediately. I also understand from your comments that you recently purchased a vehicle from us. Let me just say that we appreciate your business and hope that the state of the Jeep Cherokee did not put you off of a future purchase from us."

Any dealership that designates those as minor issues or details deserves a lightning strike in the middle of the night.

2006 Subaru WRX STI

I unfortunately have to sell my race car. I really need to buy a house this summer. If your want more pics let me know. There is a little bit of hail damage just on the roof I have a friend that can fix it for $1000. Also the rims have light rash on them, Alberta wheel wants $800 to fix them and repaint them the same colour. Other then that the car has 170,000km on the body and 10kms on a brand new engine. It needs a tune I'm trying to get one soon. All these will factor into the negotiations.

Rays wheels
Gimmick front mount intercooler
Blitz blow off valve
Garrett turbo
New battery
New clarion deck
Aqua mist water meth kit installed just not hooked up until the tune
Beatrush pitch stop mount
Triple gauge pod
Hks exhaust
Sibon carbon fiber hood and trunk
Brand new clutch
Machined flywheel

I owe a little left on the car but as soon as the buyer purchases the car I will go straight to the bank. Any other questions feel free to ask. Text or email only please. Car is located in Lethbridge but willing to work out delivery if need be.

Text 4033154200

$25,000 obo

Edit: This one isn't nearly as gold I suppose, but it strikes me as an absolutely insane price. Dealer I know but christ, it's the base model, not the Sport-Tech. You can get a new 2015 with more kit for less OTD than that. Do people actually buy these?

Also those wheels are way hosed if AB Wheel quoted him $800 to repair. On the tC wheels I use as Vibe summers I had them repair the 2 with curb rash, straighten 3 bent ones (one was full taco on the back flange- my brother ran them backwards over a curb at 70-80km/h), and had them completely strip them, polish the spoke faces, paint the inset bits and clear the whole thing and machine them to fit Pontiac center caps and it was under a grand.
But yeah that's basically albertausedsubaru.jpg. They're all hosed and/or overpriced.
