Look at this thing. Yeah, it has some negatives, but take in the positive. It’s a 240SX. It’s complete. The body is straight. There’s no visible rust whatsoever. It’s a five lug SE and the owner has had it for four years without taking the stock wheels off, so you know he’s a responsible adult. It has a hair over 100k miles, and if you don’t like this one, head over to ccf.com/cars to find hundreds of other 240SX listings.
Yes, it’s an automatic. On the high end, you’re $2000 in parts and rough day in the driveway away from a manual. Yes, the paint is fried. But it looks like there’s no real bodywork to do, so you’re only a couple grand out from this thing shining like new.
He’s asking $8500, which is exceptionally reasonable. Offer $7k and haggle, and you might have a pristine (resprayed) S14 Zenki for just a bit over ten grand, with what is considered low mileage in the S chassis community. This is an excellent base for a very nice project, and I hope you shoot him a message.
I like the Integra Type R. I like it a lot. Stitch welded chassis, obscene bright paint schemes, and decals that launched a decade of Autozone rice aisle sales. But I will never own one, and neither will you. The ITR market has exploded much like the Mk4 Supra and many other desirable 90s JDMs, and now, for most of us, save the oil barons and crypto bros, they’re out of reach, and they’re never coming back.
Bright red, fat fives, 100% stock, no rust, and 156K on the clock. I’ve found two examples on Bring A Trailer with similar mileage, one selling for $13,750 and the other for $15,250, both within the past four months.
So what are you waiting for? If you’re in Ohio, empty your checking account and pick up this quintessential 1990s Honda hot hatch. Bet it on red and double your money.
Described as a “true barn find”, the owner states this vehicle was bone stock on acquisition, but has since added a laundry list of tasteful upgrades, mainly targeting the suspension and drivability.
How many cars do you see with SIX horn buttons? What is even going on with this steering wheel?
The interior is in beautiful original condition, but the owner states the paint job is about 25 years old and a “ten footer”; looks great in pictures, though. We suspect the flares may be a shortcut to covering up some rust, but it sure is a killer look.
Listed for $7800, this looks like a fantastic deal if the 2G Celica does it for you. You won’t win any races, but you’ll be snapping necks all over town.
The first gen Honda CR-V had only one engine option: the venerable B20B. All wheel drive was an option, and from the looks of it, this particular model doesn’t have it. But maybe that’s what is keeping the price reasonable on what would absolutely make a great utility vehicle.
Fold down those factory-fresh seats and haul lumber, PVC pipe, a flatscreen tv, and most anything else the average person might wish to transport.
With under 100,000 miles, this CR-V is a rare sight on Facebook Marketplace. A 22 year old Honda with five digit mileage doesn’t come around every day, so if you’re in or around Overland Park, Kansas, it might be time to make a move.
Checking the usual suspects, we found two first-gen CR-Vs sold on Cars & Bids, averaging $7,700 sale price, both with roughly twice the miles of this pristine example. This is a certified solid buy!
It’s no secret if you’ve been in the Collector Car Feed Discord server that I am the self-proclaimed off-roading expert. I’ve had an on-again, off-again relationship with the Ford Ranger platform for well over ten years now, and I can safely proclaim that it’s the best truck to take off road, ever. My personal truck has had some slight modifications done to it. Born from the forum days and built in several garages, mostly with a 110 volt MIG welder, I present my 1999 Ford Ranger.
If you have a trained eye, you’ll see it’s not factory anymore. But I promise you its life started out bone stock as can be. I bought this 1999 XLT 4×4 after owning a 1994 STX 4×4 in Medium Aubergine (read: Purple) for many years. The purple people eater decidedly went on to greener (get it?) pastures after it kept blowing lower intake gaskets. When it was time to replace it, I knew I wanted to solid axle swap the truck down the line, so I did what most people who are about to ruin a car do: I found the cleanest stock example I could.
April of 2012, The day I drove it home.
I found this truck in a little town just off the highway in mid Michigan. It cost me $4000 in 2012 and it had 90,000 miles on the odometer. The entirety of its service history was contained within the glove box and showed that it had two parts replaced: A sway bar link and the front shocks. So naturally, the first thing I did was a body lift and 33 inch tires.
August of 2015 at Badlands ORV park in Attica, Indiana.
It remained body lifted until 2016 when I acquired the entirety of a Dana 30 front axle and various bars, links, and suspension components. The axle was previously trussed, had upgraded two-piston WK (early 2000’s Jeep Grand Cherokee) brakes, and Fox 2.0 shocks. It was four-linked and ready to swap in. So like most projects, I dumped it into cold storage until a month before I had an adventure planned.
2016, fresh from a scrapped Ranger’s solid axle swap.
Over the course of that month, with the help of a few friends and my old man, I swapped this Dana 30 solid axle underneath the Ranger and finally stopped driving it on the highway and began taking it exclusively off paved roads for years.
Since then, like most ’90s era Fords, the core support had rusted away, and I couldn’t sell this thing to someone for it to only break and end up in the junkyard. So after acquiring some new parts, I embarked on the last ever project I planned to perform on the truck.
That was a bad one, huh?
So now, refreshed and off-road ready, it’s for sale. If you’ve got a $6500 bag and a trailer, come scoop this and live your wildest rock crawling fantasies. No lowballers, I know what I have.
The CaB car’s final sale price, however, blew no minds, crossing the finish line at a much more meager (and reasonable, and realistic, and…) $19,462. Quite the difference! But does this mean Doug’s auction site will ruin you financially?
Thankfully, it really doesn’t. Not only did the Cars & Bids car have twice the mileage, at a still impressive, still low 82k, but the Bring A Trailer auction was a high water mark for the chassis. $51,000 is the record price, on Bring A Trailer, for a stock AW11 Toyota MR2 Supercharged, by quite a bit. Previous comparable auctions include this black 1989 with 85k miles selling for $11,000, although it is a TMU (True Mileage Unknown) vehicle with reported “light hail damage”. Another is this 1989 with 102,420 miles (nice) which sold for $11,150.

To find a first-gen MR2 Supercharged which sold for more than today’s CaB auction, you’d have to go back to last May, when BaT sold yet another Super Red, with 49k miles, for $23,500: an inconsequential difference from the CaB auction. The perceived value of these near-ancient neo-classics rises and falls exponentially with the odometer.

To find your own first-gen MR2, be it supercharged or the more common naturally-aspirated 4AGE, ccf-v2.local/cars has you covered.
This beautiful mid-90’s sport-executive rarity ticks all the right boxes: it’s manual, it’s a coupe, and it’s the later Type II engine variant. This six-speed, 3.2 liter, 230 horsepower sport compact is rare, optioned out just right, and ready to put up against any Integra or Prelude in its path. Its C32A engine shares naming conventions with the NSX’s C32B, giving the owner a weird-flex-but-okay bragging right (the engines are completely different designs). For these reasons and more, the owner is currently asking $24,500 or best offer on Facebook Marketplace.
But what is the and more? Well, it does “only” have 143,000 miles, which is reasonably low for a 30 year old Honda. But upon closer examination, I found the exact same car, with the exact same mileage, sold only a month ago on Bring A Trailer for $18,500.
Perfectly optioned. Don’t meet your heroes?
We all know prices are up this year, but I don’t think they’ve gone up 30% since June 1. The current owner did mention in the BaT comments that if he were to “pass it on, it will be better than when [he] bought it”. To that end, it appears the owner has spray painted the entire muffler flat black since purchase, covering up the chrome and acceptable patina on the original canister.
Buyer’s remorse is an unfortunate thing and we here at CCF wish this seller the best in unloading his mistake.
It may not look like much, but pop the hood: this 2000 Subaru Outback has a “couple thousand dollars in parts and labor” freshly performed just days before “the incident”.
Crushed by a tree, this wagon is priced right at $700 or best offer on Facebook Marketplace. There is added value: the owner explains “aggressive bees have now claimed this vehicle as home”. As an established bee colony, $500 sounds just about right for this project, located in Bloomington Indiana.
Spotted by Puchii on our Discord server, we realistically see a good value here for nearby scrappers. Act fast, and good luck.
SHEEEESH! You really should have been paying attention on our For Sale page, because this Classic Red 1996 Miata with only 40 thousand original miles just sold instantaneously. Imagine if you’d had notifications turned on, maybe you could have gotten it! What a shame.
Dang bro that would have shined up nice and you just sat on your hands
Maybe if you’d been in our Discord Server you would have seen us talking about it. Really a shame you weren’t on the ball today.
Okay yeah it’s an auto, but I mean c’mon man, dang. Get in the game
This is my 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder. It has a little under 64,500 original miles, a clean title, and as you can see, is in impeccable condition. It is mechanically perfect and has just a handful of tiny paint imperfections. It also has brand new KYB front struts and top hats, and about 5500 miles on new Yokohama Advan Fleva tires. I just submitted it to Bring A Trailer, and unless somebody steps in with the bag like, right now, it’ll be up for auction before too long. If you’re interested, contact me immediately.
This is a badass car and I hate to see it go, but I have a 2000 Mahogany Mica Miata SE to work on now, and many other cars on the bucket list, so it’s time.
