Now, let’s get into it!⚡

SPARE SEATS

1981 Porsche 928

~130,000 miles, manual, rwd, 8-cylinder, pop-up headlights

$10,000 / Kent, WA

Another nice example of the infamous V8 Porsche. Mechanically sound but could use a few cosmetic corrections.

TWIN TURBO DAILY

2007 BMW 335i

~170,000 miles, manual, rwd, 6-cylinder, twin-turbo

$10,000 / Tempe, AZ

I’ve never driven one of these but have known people who did. Every one of them has said how much they loved it. Would make an awesome daily.

MIATA ALTERNATIVE

1999 Porsche Boxster 986

~156,000 miles, manual, rwd, 6-cylinder, convertible

$9,000 / Newburyport, MA

With the way prices have gone, if you’re considering getting a Miata, why not get a Porsche instead? They’re somewhat comparable and so is the price.

XTERRA POWER

1988 Nissan 300ZX Turbo

~147,000 miles, manual, rwd, 6-cylinder, pop-up headlights, t-top, turbo

$9,900 / Freeport, ME

This 300ZX has had its engine swapped with a 3.3L from an 03 Xterra. It is still turbo and claims to be making 550HP.

LEAKY T-TOP

1989 Toyota MR2 Supercharged

~186,837 miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder, t-top, pop-up headlights, supercharged

$5,000 / Ilahee, WA

This MR2 sat for the last year and as such requires a few repairs and some TLC to get it back to where it needs to be, and drivable.

➡️ 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!

ELECTRIC BLUE TRACKER

1991 Geo Tracker

~100,500 miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder, convertible

$6,450 / Frisco, TX

This Tracker is in really nice condition and comes in a fantastic color. One day, I will own one of these as a fun Summer convertible SUV. This one would be perfect.
