Today's Finds - February 14th, 2024

Joshua here!

🔥In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’ve got a red hot surprise at the end of today’s email.

As always, you can reply to this email and send us any of your finds that you think should be included in tomorrow’s email.

Now, let’s get into it! ⚡

RUSTWAGEN

1968 Volkswagen Beetle

unknown miles, automatic, rwd

$1,000 / Hot Springs, AR

This could be completely restored, or you could save some money and keep the patina.

DEL STOCK

1995 Honda Del Sol

~142,000 miles, manual, fwd

$4,500 / Albuquerque, NM

Aside from the blackout headlights, this Del Sol seems to be unmodified.

VANNA OFF-WHITE

1986 Toyota Van

~237,000 miles, manual, camper

$3,500 / Portland, OR

Another camper van, this time from Toyota. The body lines from 80s Toyotas were incredible.

LUDE LEGEND - OVERBUDGET

1991 Honda Prelude Si

~131,000 miles, manual, fwd, pop-up headlights

$5,900 / Cary, NC

This is THE Prelude to own. In my opinion, it has the best bumpers and overall look of any generation.

DARK BLUE SAABARU

2005 Saab 92x Aero

~192,000 miles, automatic, 4-cylinder, turbo

$1,200 / Charleston, SC

For the Subaru guy that isn't ready to admit they're a Subaru guy. Might need transmission? Perfect time to manual swap.

➡️ 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!

200STOCKX

1986 Nissan 200sx SE

~147,000 miles, manual, 4-cylinder, pop-up headlights

$4,300 / Chagrin Falls, OH

The owner claims it is a project car, but this is one of the most original stock examples of a 200sx I've seen for a while.

OLD YELLER

1972 Ford F100 Sport

unknown miles, manual, 6-cylinder

$3,500 / Charlotte, NC

This truck is in excellent shape for its age. I would personally wash it, seal it, and drive it exactly as it is.

DRAGGIN’ WAGON

1994 Subaru Legacy L Wagon

~132,000 miles, automatic, wagon, rhd

$5,000 / Glasglow, KY

The Crosstrek wheels are not my taste. However, I could look past them for this right-hand drive wagon.

RED ROLLER

1974 Porsche 914

~60,000 miles, manual, no engine, no transmission

$5,000 / Redmond, WA

This car needs a lot of work. But considering they can sell for well over $20k, this is a decent place to start.

SCORCHIN’ DEAL

1972 Ford F600 Firetruck

~42,000 miles, manual, V8, lights and sirens

$3,950 / Cottage Grove, OR

There's a guy who lives close to me that has one of these parked in his front yard. And come on, who doesn't want a firetruck?

Best Tools to Inspect a Used Car

OBD II Code Reader: quickly decipher check engine codes.

High Lumen Flashlight: make it easier to see what you’re inspecting.

1500 Amp Jump Pack: enough power to jump both cars and trucks.

Work Gloves: protect your hands from getting dirty, cut, or shocked.

Shop Towels: useful for many things, including wiping a dipstick.
