Duncan Imports vs Zilvia.net: Shutting Down a Bring A Trailer Con Artist
Gary Duncan of Duncan Imports was caught bidding up an already shady Nissan 240SX auction by the 240SX detectives over at Zilvia.net.
We lay it all out in the video above, but basically, this 590 mile 1995 Nissan 240SX zenki had some prior issues that Duncan had failed to fully disclose when it was listed for sale on their website in 2020 for $39,000, and they sure didn’t bother to fill in the details this time, listing it on Bring A Trailer. Some OG 240SX gunners didn’t agree with that and took the auction to pound town.
In an attempt to save the auction, Gary Duncan bid up the auction himself, dropping $19,427 on the table and telling everyone to bid higher lest he walk away with it. Thing is, he was using an alt. That’s called shill bidding and it’s pretty much the shittiest thing a car dealer could possibly be caught doing, which he immediately was, because this boomer signed one of his old BaT posts “Gary Duncan”.
Would you ever buy a car from this absolute legend?

Ranking Every SCION FR-S For Sale on Facebook Marketplace
The Scion FR-S is one of three North American variants on the Toyota FT86. Synonymous with the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ, this front engine, rear wheel drive, four cylinder sports car was badged by Scion in the US from 2013 to 2016. The second generation 86 has since been released for the 2022 model year, helping to continue pushing prices down, or as far down as they can be considering the current used car market.
This has to be the most riced platform in recent history, with Scion practically begging purchasers to throw on a chassis mount wing and Rocket Bunny kit. In this video, we check out nearly forty Scions. Did we find anything worthwhile? Click through and find out.

Ranking Every E46 BMW M3 For Sale on Facebook Marketplace
The 2000 to 2006 E46 BMW M3 is the first North American M3 to get the same engine and power output as its European counterpart. This front engine, rear wheel drive sports car, available in coupe, sedan, and convertible, came with a naturally aspirated 333 horsepower 3.2 liter inline six, touting an 8000 RPM redline. Available in a six speed manual or clunky single clutch SMG that should be avoided at all costs, this is a Euro tuner favorite and has held its value quite well over the years. Today we’re trying to hunt down a six speed coupe worth buying. Will we find one? Click through and find out.

Facebook Find: 1978 RA40 Toyota Celica
Now here’s one you don’t see every day. Forget the 240SX, forget the Miata, forget the MR2. There’s a safe bet you’re the only one rolling up to Cars & Coffee in a 2G Celica coupe like this. Find your own using the Collector Car Feed used car listing aggregator!
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.

Time Capsule: 2000 Honda CR-V LX
Take a look at this beautiful first generation Honda CR-V! Found on Facebook Marketplace with only 84,000 original miles, this crossover is looking absolutely cherry and ready to handle the six weeks of winter ahead. Find your own using the Collector Car Feed used car listing aggregator!
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!
