Weekend Edition Quick Hit – What about a functioning 1988 Isuzu I-Mark Turbo found on Craigslist?

Here on the Weekends I try and find some of the most wretched vehicles ever to grace the showroom floor, and to gauge your reaction to those vehicles. To many, Isuzu was said to be Japan’s Fiat, producing some interesting cars that were not completely engineered properly. They had a reputation of being designed well (Italy’s Giugiaro was most prevalent), and with the help of Lotus Engineering, they handled well. But the cars themselves have always been less than what they could have been. So, does that make this 1988 I-Mark Turbo any less desirable? According to the Vancouver Craigslist Listing:

Selling 1988 Isuzu I-Mark RS Turbo, with handling by Lotus. maroon, manual, sunroof, 4 door. Good daily driver, great fuel economy. Recently done rear brakes, tires a couple years old. Starts with a screwdriver, but I have a new ignition that can be installed easily. Other than that it is a nice little car in excellent condition for its age. It was owned by my grandmother before me who got it new and barely drove it. Selling because I got a new car.

Asking price for this little number is $900. You know what, that is 24-Hours-of-Lemons money right there… How about that… a running, driving, handling car that can go straight to the track with little to no modifications whatsoever… Well, maybe a roll cage, remote shut off switch, racing seat, and such… Take a look at the listing here, and tell me how this car should live out its remaining life…
