Joshua here,

Now, let’s get into it!⚡

1989 BMW 325i

~181,000 miles, manual, rwd, 6-cylinder

Starting today off with a nice example of a manual E30. I do think it’s a bit overpriced based on the fact it needs a couple of things. But aside from the clear coat, it looks super clean.

1995 Volvo 850 R

~128,000 miles, manual, fwd, 5-cylinder, turbo

This pale yellow is one of my favorite colors this Volvo came in. It’s a bit hard to see in this picture. All of the better lit pictures show off how destroyed the front bumper is, so I went with this one.

2002 Mazda Miata

~121,000 miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder, turbo

Much like this Miata, the owner has lowered their price. They say if they buy another daily before this sells the price will go up $2k. At 270hp I bet this thing scoots.

1991 Toyota Cressida

unknown miles, manual, rwd, 6-cylinder, turbo

The overspray inside the doors is not ideal. It’s set up for drifting so I’m sure this won’t be the last time it gets painted. It is powered by a Supra turbo drivetrain.

1978 Jeep CJ-5 Meyer’s Cab

~30,000 miles, manual, 4wd, 6-cylinder

Quick research looks like this was an aftermarket option back in the day offered by “Meyer Cabs”. They came in a few configurations and this is the half-cab version.

1992 Daihatsu Rocky

~135,000 miles, manual, 4wd, 4-cylinder

Limited information and pictures. Needs the head gasket replaced and has damage on the other side we can’t see, conveniently.
