Joshua here,

Now, let’s get into it!⚡

BEST CAR IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE

At least that’s how this person’s “old pal who knows everything” described this car once. I thought this picture was too good not to share.

ROUGH COSMETICALLY

1981 BMW 320i

~160,890 miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder

$3,650 / Durango, CO

The owner claims this BMW is rough from a cosmetic standpoint but from what I can see, it doesn’t look too bad.

BRAPS ON IDLE

1984 Mazda RX-7

~237,000 miles, manual, rwd, rotary, pop-up headlights

$4,950 / Battle Ground, WA

If you happen to already have a newer BMW, this is the perfect car for you. The turn signals already don’t work so you’ll have an excuse not to use them.

JDM PAJERO

1999 Mitsubishi Pajero Mini VR2

~38,000 miles, manual, 4wd, 4-cylinder, turbo, rhd

$6,800 / Herndon, VA

I am already a huge fan of the Pajero but something about the mini gets me excited. This one is also turbo which makes it that much cooler.

RARE AND RUNS

1973 Saab Sonett III

~15,680 miles, manual, fwd, 4-cylinder, pop-up headlights

$6,500 / Albuquerque, NM

Something about these Saabs is cool to me. I don’t think they’re the fastest or most practical cars but the way they look and how rare they are is awesome.

THE FANCY ONE

1997 Lexus LS400 Coach Edition

~181,771 miles, automatic, rwd, 8-cylinder

$7,250 / Costa Mesa, CA

I didn’t know what the “Coach Edition” meant but apparently, it is the fancier version. It’s got better leather, wood grain, 6 disc changer, special wheels, champagne badges, and more.

➡️ 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!

S2K = $2K

2004 Honda S2000

~146,772 miles, manual, rwd, 4-cylinder, convertible

$2,000 / Bakersfield, CA

I’m not sure why this S2000 isn’t running but the owner says it sounds like a lawn mower. As a fellow Honda owner, I’ve been there and just had to fix an exhaust leak.

Best Tools to Inspect a Used Car
