They've been appreciating in value over the last few years and now is the time to get one whether you are planning to drive it or store it and sell it later.

That being said; so much has been replaced on it that it's barely an old jeep anymore. Barely anything is original, it's been converted to 12v, sitting on a different chassis, and if you're going to repaint everything get rid of the paint flecks on the dash. At least it comes with a trailer and looks like it has the receptacle on the front passenger side. Not museum quality, but a decent "motorpool restoration".

They're ok, a bumpy ride as above said, but built tough. Top speed is 60, bit you wont want to go that fast, max rpm on those engines is 4000 rpm (with about 70 horsepower) and they are very low geared (5.38:1 with no overdrive gear in the trans). The life expectancy for these was about 6 months in the field, but many collectors get good reliability with them, and many people use them as daily drivers. They're dirt simple and you can rebuild most anything that goes wrong with a basic toolkit.

If you want it go for it, pretty cool I think, 13 would be about the most you should pay though.

Love the 550/575 with regular or Daytona seats. The sport seats I'm not a fan of.

Older cars, yes, but it looks silly on most cars made in the past 10 years.

yeah, i'd buy that.

I wouldn't spend 5k on it but if you have the cash do it, it's beautiful.
Just don't lift it or do stupid shit to it. It deserves better.

Toyota is OpenBSD because of how reliable it is.

>For 40 years, this car lived its life as a bone stock, all-original 1962 Buick Special. When it was acquired by Ted and Sue Richardson in 2002, everything changed. Ted partnered with Ryan Butler of Hot Rod Fabrication in Auburn, WA, to bring to life his vision of what would become the first of its kind in the custom world. The goals were simple: build a sleek and drivable car with an awesome power plant and stance to compete for 2003 Street Machine of the Year. They wanted to do this while maintaining the overall look and feel of the original car, yet build it to drive and handle like a true high-performance machine. The build started in September 2002, and by June 2003, Bu'Wicked was ready to revolutionize the custom car world. At the heart of Bu'Wicked is a Pro-Charged, fuel-injected 455 Buick big block putting 555hp to the rear wheels through a Richmond 6-speed manual transmission. The car sits on a custom Art Morrison Chassis, suspended with a custom coilover suspension. It rolls on 17" Budnik Arrowhead wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot sport tires, all brought to a stop by Baer Pro 13.5" rotors with Alcon 4-piston calipers. The interior features Fiero bucket seats up front with a custom-made rear seat and full roll cage. The door panels were custom-made to match the lines of the front fenders of the car, with everything upholstered in hand-stitched green leather to match the paint scheme. After making its debut, Bu'Wicked went on to be a top-five finalist for Goodguys 2003 Street Machine of the Year. Since then, the car was on the cover of Custom Rodder in the January 2004 issue, was featured in the December 2003 issue of Popular Hot Rodding and was profiled by Popular Hot Rodding in their March 2004 issue. In addition to the magazine articles, the car has been immortalized in videogame history as a playable car for all to drive in Sony's "Gran Turismo 4," released in December 2004.

>they didn't even use the pillarless hardtop as base

there is a niche for them, so parts for them are not that hard to find...

and get the turbo/standard transmission. Non turbo porshes are painfully slow

>I can find a decent one around me for 3k
A 3k 944 won't be a decent one unless you're very very lucky.

This.

Spend 5k on an n/a, turbos should be 8-10k if you're lucky.

Spending less is a trap.

>t. Actual owner

The shame of riding around on that could do your serious harm alone.

I don't know about "legal" I mean in some form it may be legal but don't think that means you can assemble it from a box and get on the interstate with no license. In my state if its more than 49cc you must have a motorcycle license and it must be registered and tagged.

>>16441352

Please tell me about how they can smoke since that seems to be your biggest deterring factor in one. "Smoke." Because it's all the same right?

>>16441287
Hes talking aboit the ppl that upgraded the downpipe and exhaust and got profuse smoking.

Go to the mazdaspeed forums not 4chan. The smoking is usually the turbo seals so have a few grand saved just im case. Also let the car idle to see if it smokes

I don't know a lot about speed 3's but I'll try and help.
Have you given it the once over one usually does when looking at a used car as in

>clean title?
>do all the body panels and seams appear to be aligned normally?
>how's the underside look? anything rusting?
>does it drive ok? any noises when revving high?
>tried running a scan tool to see if it throws any codes?
>CEL?
>have appropriate service records?

At that price I believe your biggest concern would likely be if it has been wrecked before or if it's been maintained properly. Also is this a dealer listing? Or a Craigslist ad?

You may already know stuff about buying used cars, regardless these videos have good information in them about buying used cars
