The World’s Worst Car Is For Sale On Craigslist

Welcome to our Wednesday dumpster dive that is known as Craigslist Crapshoot. Last week I asked for you to dredge up ads for bottom feeders, and while the pickings were kind of slim, we did end up with what could be described as a Craigslist Crapshoot poster child. More on that after the jump, but first this week’s assignment – should you choose to accept it. 

This week I want 4×4 CARS. All wheel drive Audi, Eagle anythings, hell, if you can find a clapped out Jensen FF for sale, you’re golden. No trucks this week, they’ll just have to sit this one out. Oh, and like every week, they need to be running and able to be licensed for the road. One last thing, we want your finds to go down in infamy and not in the site’s spam filter. Follow any of  the following advice and you’re crap will be known far and wide.

  1. Easiest way to not get caught in the spam filters is to create an IntenseDebate account. If you do so and your posts aren’t appearing, let us know at tips@hooniverse.info and we can put you on the whitelist
  2. If you don’t want an IDC account, you can create a wordpress.com account and do the same thing.
  3. If you’re the Ted Kaczynski type and don’t want any kind of account, then try to place only a single link in a comment and just drop any outgoing link in via its raw URL and not as a text link
Craigslist Crapshoot doesn’t work if your candidates don’t get seen, so hopefully following one of these options will ensure that the floodgates of crap are fully open. And speaking of open, follow me through the jump to see last week’s open-top Craigslist Crapshoot winner.
Okay, so many of you have an odd interpretation of what entry-level and bottom feeder mean, but that doesn’t mean that we didn’t have a winner that both met the intent of the request and of mantra of Craigslist Crapshoot.
 
Devin happened upon a Toyota pickup that’s jaw-droppingly craptacular but does seem to be drivable despite a dead cylinder. The ad’s claim of both custom bodywork and the need of the owner to get it off his front lawn makes this scraggly Saskatchewan this week’s Canadian Craigslist Crapshoot winner. Well done Devin!

    Woooo, hometown pride!
    Anyway, here's an Eagle Talon TSi, which needs to be turned off to go into reverse, which seems bad.

        What else needs to be turned off to reverse?

        This exercise isn't doing me any favors. Found a Legacy wagon 5 speed for $1600. I'll wait until Friday and see if I can get it for $1000.

        It's over by the former Carswell AFB (now NAS Carswell Joint Reserve Base). Sadly, all their B-52s left and went to Barksdale AFB (Shreveport) some years ago. And the "White Settlement" name refers to American Indians, not some cracker thing.

    Rather than look for whatever is new this week I went straight to the target search. A Subaru Justy with 4WD and four doors. This my friends is the car I learned to drive in (well, not the exact car). It satisfies most automotive needs and does so while getting nearly the same mileage as a Prius. I totalled my Mom's eventually but only because the 4WD was too expensive to fix after I slammed it sideways into a guardrail, going backwards at 50 MPH.

    The price is a little high on this one. It needs a clutch, apparently. If it were me, I might just drive it without one. You know, for more fun. http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/3581865640.ht…

          I think they use them for the "next-to-final-ride", picking up bodies from nursing homes and hospitals to take to the mortuary. The non-black hearses freak out the living residents a little less. I've seen a number of minivan-based hearses parked at the ER, too.

          Note also that he's advertised it with the line "This is TRADE ONLY."
          If he won't take cash, it's either because this is for a reality show or One Red Paperclip sort of project, or the guy is trying to stay off the grid. If the latter, bring a friend (preferably one who is an undercover cop) with you when you go out to make the deal.

    A little rusty, just a little and 208K. methinks that's crack price money based on mileage and rust.

    Then there's this gem of a final paragraph:
    "*Note to other 20-something y/o children who for bizarre reasons arrive expecting a perfect NEW car because your "Uncle Timmy gave me a 1998 Buick Turdlet 6 years ago for only 600 dollars with only 35 miles on it and there's still nothing wrong with it"?: Grow a brain or go back to Uncle Timmy… This is a $1,500 car with a lot of life left – not a $15,000 one. It's 22 years old, it's NOT NEW. Look at the pictures. If you cannot see well – have someone who DOES. Don't waste my time, children"

    <img src="http://finncdn.no/mmo/4/234/289/44_-288034702.jpg"&gt;

      I would like to take this to a Chevy meet and piss everyone off. First they'd be mad because of the 4×4 chassis, then if I got them to look under the hood I think I'd get thrown out when they see a 351.

      That's an S/C AllTrac, the most desirable of all Previas (at least in snow areas, and until the transfer case craps out and you have to find another one), and the price isn't out of line, certainly among Previa fans. I owned three Previas, and believe me, there's a fanatical following behind them.

          I'm still on the Yahoo! Previa group, and today there's a guy whose '96 Previa was rear-ended (totaled by a hit and run driver), and he's looking for another one, and a guy with a '93 who is looking for a replacement engine. It's like being a Corvair guy (which I am, too). The last ones were built over 15 years ago, and they still have a devoted following.
          I liked our Previas, but my wife was tired of driving something that needed lots of work, and only had one sliding door.

            I could like me a Previa, too. And the one above is perfect! But why is this lots of work? Can you sum up or give me a link? Didn't the US get the next generation Previa built until around 2004?

          2. dukeisduke Avatar
            dukeisduke

            Since Previas were mid-engined, they used a driveshaft (separated accessory drive system, or "SADS" shaft) that ran forward from the engine to an accessory drive housing under the hood, onto which is mounted the power steering pump, alternator, a/c compressor, and if an S/C, the supercharger, which uses an electromagnetic clutch like a/c compressor, controlled by the ECU. The SADS shaft uses bushings ("revolvers") like u-joints, also used to dampen vibration. The revolvers are a PITA to replace, plus you have to make sure the accessory drive housing mounts have to be aligned properly, so that the revolvers last. Plus I had the usual things that go bad, like struts, and I didn't have the time to work on it, etc., etc. Here's a diagram of SADS:
            <img src="http://zenseeker.net/Previa/PreviaMaintenance/Driveshaft.jpg"&gt;
            And no, we didn't get any Previas after 1997. We switched over to the US-designed and built FWD Sienna:

      I remember selling these new. They were awesome highly overpriced minivans. Man the customers would runs screaming out of the dealership when you showed them the price. If they hadn't left because it was SUV priced then they would laugh at the fact that it was a four cylinder. A supercharged one but still a four.

        Yup, I even featured this very car on NPOCP a few years back. http://jalopnik.com/5362049/whats-a-cosworth-oh-a…

    "1962 Volvo 4×4 (international harvester) – $900 (Brick)
    1962 Volvo body built on a International Harvester frame and motor and frame. The vehicle has been sitting for about 4 years but did run before it was parked. I inherited the vehicle and I need to get it out of where it is currently. There is some rust to the hood and body. If anyone is looking for a cool project. This is it. I did drive it 5-6 years ago and it's a head turner. My cell is 732 546 2386 "
    …
    If you need me, I'll be off coveting this. The best part? The typical thirteen-letter shit-spreader rust shouldn't be a problem; it's got two frames! Says so right there!

    The engine is in pieces, but he's got all of the parts, and he'll even trade the car for gold! Sounds like a bargain to me, let's do this.

      Oddly isn't 1oz of gold worth about that much?

    Crazy lead image to sell a '89 BMW 325IX. Runs on gas and LPG, the potential buyer is told.

    Part of me says "POST POST POST!" Part of me says "Kind of Awesome…" It's a Magnum 5.9 V8, so the craftsman gets bonus points for skipping an SBC. This is as good a place as any. Enjoy.

      It's on a Ramcharger frame, so the 5.9 is easier than a SBC swap; it might have even already been in the donor..

        Oh, I'm sure that's why the went Mopar. However, there are any number of GM frames that would have gotten them a similar effect with an SBC.

          Still, huge bonus points for staying within the extended family. A Jeep would've been a better base, but hey.
