RED RABBIT

1981 Volkswagen Rabbit

~220,000 miles, manual, fwd, 4 cylinder, diesel

$4,000 / Pocatello, ID

The paint is faded in a couple of spots, but other than that, the body looks super straight and clean. Let me know your thoughts on the crooked antenna.

BUCKIN’ CLEAN

1989 Ford Bronco II

~88,000 miles, automatic, 4wd, 6 cylinder

$4,000 / McMinnville, OR

Lots of work recently done and in incredible condition.

BOXED, TO GO

1985 Volkswagen GTI

Unknown miles, manual, fwd, 4 cylinder, spare parts

$2,300 / Camarillo, CA

A lot of the parts for this car are currently in boxes. It was converted to a track car by the seller’s son.

RALLY COOL - OVERBUDGET

1988 Mazda 323

~165,000 miles, manual, awd, 4 cylinder, turbo

$6,500 / New Paltz, NY

Super rare chance to own a Mazda rally car made for the streets. Comes with a spare engine.

ROTA-RAI

1988 Suzuki Samurai RX-7 Swap

~41,000 miles, manual, 4wd, rotary

$4,000 / Charleston, MO

Not your average Samurai. This one is powered by a 13B rotary out of a Mazda RX-7.

➡️ 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!

HARBOR BLUES

1990 Mazda RX-7

~140,000 miles, manual, rwd, rotary, pop-up headlights

$4,500 / Folsom, CA

Speaking of RX-7's. This is one of the least expensive, running, examples I've come across.

SPACE CRUISER - OVERBUDGET

1984 Toyota Van

~175,000 miles, automatic, rwd, 4 cylinder

$6,300 / Alsip, IL

This van looks like it's straight out of an 80's sci-fi/space movie. That kind of makes sense, considering it's called the Space Cruiser.

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.
