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.

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.

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.

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.

The 2000-2005 MR2 Spyder is on the verge of classic/antique in many states, and with that, we’re seeing renewed interest in this fantastic (and fantastically slow) roadster, which is inarguably the best handling generation of Toyota’s mid-engine fever dream, if not the fastest. Horses in the back and incredibly light (2195 pounds dry), you’ll have a great time holding high RPMs through winding back roads and tearing down the highway until you blow your pre-cats through the EGR and end it all.
The following are all recent low mileage examples.

First up is this modified 2001. Inside you’ll find a built turbo 1ZZ and gauges affixed to every flat surface. This car is a Super Street era masterpiece: you’ll even find nitrous in the frunk. The owner claims 400 horsepower. Includes an OEM hardtop and installed TRD bodykit. Located in Illinois, this MR2 Spyder has 45,000 miles on the body and around 10,000 on the rebuild. Listed at $15,000.

Completely stock, here is a fine 2000 Solar Yellow with 74,500 miles, priced at $10,995 in Avon Lake, OH. There’s a tear in the passenger seat and more in the top, and you may love or hate the factory wing and its double 3rd brake light appearance. I think it’s pretty rad.

Here’s one you missed, listed only three days ago: a 2003 Spyder with only 38,500 original miles, with an asking price of $11,500 in Paris, Texas. Remove the pinstripe and send this one to Bring A Trailer.

The seller wants you to know that yes, this 2002 MR2 Spyder is a stick, and it is stock. Only 16,000 original miles, asking $16,500. Located in Columbia, Maryland.

Another missed opportunity: 92,000 miles on the body, 60k on the engine: this 2ZZ swapped 2000 MR2 Spyder could be a deal, if you can overlook the salvage title. Sold for $7500.

Sunburst Yellow is one of the rarest colors of NA MX-5 Miatas in existence. Tacking a $250 surcharge onto the bill, only 1519 Sunburst Yellow Miatas were made, making them exceptionally desirable. One is for sale right now on Bring A Trailer, and, at time of writing, its price is already at $8500 with seven days remaining. That price is sure to hit the teens if not the twenties; it even comes with a matching hardtop.

For this reason, when one scans the Facebook Marketplace listings, yellow NAs stand out. So imagine my disgust, eyeing a tiny yellow thumbnail and clicking on it, only to find this rolling nightmare.

That’s it, really. I just wanted to share this painful moment. This 1994 is not an original Sunburst Yellow, which were only produced for the 1992 model year. This example is a color change, along with some lovely graphics. It has 150,000 miles and the owner is asking $10,000 or best offer. Act fast.

You know the deal on this one. The drift scene ravaged the S13/S14 population over the past 15-20 years. Finding an unmolested example takes a great deal of patience, the owner always knows what they have, and generally speaking, if the the mileage is low, it’s because the car doesn’t move.

This is not an ideal S14. You can tell it’s been sitting in the sun for years, it has unrepaired paint damage all around, particularly on the front passenger corner, and it’s an automatic. The previous owner installed a push-start ignition, which is never a good sign. But, it’s listed on Facebook Marketplace for $7800, and has 73k miles on the odometer.

Side note, to see a list of every S14 240SX we’ve found on Facebook Marketplace, check out this link. If you’re new here, we hunt Facebook (and eBay, and Cars and Bids, and Bring A Trailer) for collector cars of interest, and compile them into these massive lists. We update daily, so come back for more.

The engine bay is complete: no eBay short ram, no OBX header. This is a hen’s tooth, a unicorn horn. Yes, it needs work, but the way things are going, will you ever find another S14 this “reasonably” priced?

We’ve reached a point where most 240SXs have been destroyed. And at $7800, this one might be next, unless you save it.
