This is a rare find!

Down to $8k. Is that a good price for a car?

Damn. I kind of want that. Kind of.

How about for Jenn? I know.

Too many doors.

Also too much leather.

I wondered aloud to Adam at lunch yesterday of the Regal GS is available with that GM "Stage" upgrade like they had on the first gen LNF cars (Cobalt, Solstice).

Apparently it was.

295 hp 335 ft-lb for GS

Nice little bump. Maybe enough for a close to mid-14 second 1/4 mile at nearly 100. This really would be a very nice, balanced daily, equivalent in speed to a first gen Mazdaspeed 3. The manual trans really sets it apart. If I was not such a V8/RWD fanboy I'd rock one of these. I think people would be blown away how nicely the car drives, with the HiPer Strut and FWD, and the chassis calibration.

102,000 miles, 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham - $3000

I think a little over priced, but kinda cool.

Interesting. Not bad, asking 4 grand.

I hope someone doesn't buy that and rip the roof off for the Fall Failiage LeMons tour....

That would be a sweet LS swap sleeper also. Or just enjoy some smooth 36 year old B-body goodness. I'd assume olds 307 and 2004R.

It's in NJ. It's cursed. But that is surprisingly cheap. Turns out it's a 14 year old FCA product.

Definitely a bit faster than my STS (or maybe more like a slight upgrade). Motortrend first test yielded 14.27s @ 98.56 mph. Makes sense....340hp (I have 320 and AWD).

What's a bottom of market SRT8 go for? I bet under $10k.
