Craigslist Finds - April 12th, 2024

April 12, 2024

Joshua here,

Thanks for the guesses yesterday! The closest guess was 2,000 cars. I actually look at somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 cars a day to find the 5-10 cars I include.

Today’s question, what state do you live in? Reply to this email and let me know! I want to find cars in the right part of the country and that would help me a lot.

Now, let’s get into it!⚡

BLUE BRICK

1999 Volvo V70R

~206,000 miles, automatic, awd, 5-cylinder, turbo

$6,200 / Olympia, WA

If you’re not familiar with these cars, they’re pretty awesome. It’s a turbo 5-cylinder with a larger set of brakes. Oh, and of course, a wagon.

LEFT-HAND MICRO VAN

1993 Mitsubishi Veryca

~16,406 miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder

$7,500 / Albuquerque, NM

I’m sure you’ve seen some of these micro vans before. Almost all of them are imported from Japan and are right-hand drive. This one was originally sold in America and is left-hand drive.

EXPENSIVE PARTY

1978 Ford Fiesta

~139,000 miles, manual, fwd, 4-cylinder

$8,000 / Portland, OR

When I chose this car, I completely overlooked the price, but we’re gonna roll with it. It does look super clean for its age and mileage.

BROWN-ON-BROWN

1976 Datsun 280Z

~168,000 miles, manual, fwd, 4-cylinder

$10,000 / Phoenix, AZ

I’m not usually one for a brown car, but this brown-on-brown works well on the 280Z. The interior looks just as nice as the exterior.

PROBABLY DUSTY

1978 Lotus Esprit S1

~50,000 miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder, pop-up headlights

$8,500 / Brentwood, CA

This picture is from the previous owner (who is now selling for his friend) and is about 5 years old. He states it is probably covered in dust now.

➡️ If you buy a car listed in Good Deal Garage & email us a picture of yourself with the car, we’ll feature you in the newsletter PLUS send you something special in return!

“THIS IS THE CAR YOU WANT”

1966 Volva Amazon 122s

unknown miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder

$7,800 / Portland, OR

Sometimes reading through these descriptions is as entertaining as the car itself. This one is pretty good because the owner loves their car and doesn’t want to sell it.
