The Turbo Yaris to Cadillac ATS Transformation: Petrolhead Fights Car ADD, but loses

[golftdibrad]

looks like you have your bidding war stage set sir. you also have dat reserve 2 doe

 

[PetrolHead]

It's surprising how well the g8's have held there value. Although I've been looking at nothing but ultra-depreciated cayenne turbos lately, so I am a bit jaded. They freaking fell off a cliff.

No, even worse they fell off that giant hole that Darth maul fell into in episode one. They fell twice as fast as his halves did.

Cayenne values are LOLZ

I didn't realize G8s were doing well on the depreciation front.

GTO or CTS-V seem like better buys than the G8, but the G8 definitely looks the best on the exterior.

Well, yea...but a large V8 powered sedan is rare. The CTS-V is the best buy, but manual only, which I thought was a no-go for Placman.

Really? Wow. I even went Dodge with you.....

Hahaha

:lol::lol::lol:

Dis.

Yea...shits going to get real. It's beginning, and the auction still has 5 hours left..

 

[troyguitar]

IIRC the GTO still has a bigger back seat than a GTI, you just don't get doors to it.

 

[PetrolHead]

That's probably true. The GTO was huge.

 

[troyguitar]

That's probably true. The GTO was huge.

Still only 3700 lbs though and with a pretty damn decent interior too. If I ever go full retard race car on the Z06, I'd consider a GTO as possibly the top on my list of daily drivers. Decent LS1/manual cars are down to $10k or less with some miles.

 

[maxtdi]

For the GTO

Front Legroom 42.2 " front legroom Rear Legroom 37.1 " rear legroom

That is quite impressive.

 

[2013R]

Yea...shits going to get real. It's beginning, and the auction still has 5 hours left..

what you might end up with is the most expensive Pacer ever sold. A news source could pick it up.

 

[PetrolHead]

It would need to go above $15k for that to happen. Possible, but unlikely.

Tubbed bespoke drag cars with $20k motors aside, what is the highest price a Pacer has ever sold for? Your car has to be in the top 1%.

Tubbed bespoke drag cars with $20k motors aside, what is the highest price a Pacer has ever sold for? Your car has to be in the top 1%.

A fully restored to original car sold last year for $15k, IIRC. Clean originals have sold for $12k. I'd say it's in the top 5% now, but I have no idea what it'll end up at. Still 650 watchers. 3.5 hours left...

$10,000 with 3h 52m left

Who is this s***e?

l***h, this is your time to shine, man. All those years of scrimping and saving, eating ramen, and sleeping on that IKEA futon have led to this moment.

OR

l***h, this is your time to shine, man. Sell one more fraction of that Berkshire Hathaway position and treat yourself nice. You know this car only comes around once in a lifetime, and your ZL1-swapped Vega needs a stablemate.

OR

l***h, this is your time to shine, man. You don't have cataracts and $12k is an outstanding value for a well-sorted but misclassified 928 S.
