  • Easy S14 Project: Buy This Nissan 240SX

    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.

  • [video] 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.

  • [video] 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!

  • Found on the Feed: Your next NB Miata Project

    We all know NBs are the superior Miata [we don’t -Feed]. It’s been discussed on the Collector Car Feed podcast several times now. However, what we’ve got here is a real project that is (thankfully) OBO so you might be able to scoop it for a reasonable price, considering the low miles it has.

    Almost everyone on this fine website knows about Miatas; it seems like even the most common folk know now. I double-checked this by yelling out the window of the Feed offices “Hey what’s a Miata?” and a nice gentleman on the sidewalk below replied “A great driver’s car!” If you need more convincing, let me tell you this fact: It’s the best selling roadster of all time.

    A nice wet picture to hide how terrible the paint really is.

    This particular NB has just under 29000 actual miles on the car. However, the seller does state that the Arizona sun has taken a toll on the vehicle’s paint and dashboard, as noted by the above and below pictures. The car is an original 5 Speed and does have a hardtop, which is an exceptionally desirable, hard-to-come-by amenity.

    Overall, this car’s a little steep at $8500, but as I said in the beginning, the seller states this is or best offer, so you could potentially scoop it for a decent price. A little Maaco love, some time on the internet finding either some new seats or having an upholstery shop run free and you might (keyword might) have a Bring a Trailer winner on your hands. You can go here to find the listing. Unless it’s slipped away by now, in which case you should have gotten Feed Premium to find this gem and ones just like it, first, when they hit Facebook Marketplace.
