    This wagon is biggish and heavy. It's not a sports car for sure. It's definitely not an SUV either. Much closer to a sports sedan feel. It would be interesting to know which 5 series you drove. There has been steady size inflation in the BMW line up. A 3 series today is the same size as a 5 series from a decade or two ago.

    Those were definitely some of the best Bimmers ever made, smaller, lighter and more nimble. Size-wise, the 5 you drove is the same or smaller than the current 3's. I'm not a fan of the latest generation. They seem too bloated and underpowered with too much focus on technology and not enough on driving experience. Too bad.

    1921 Oldsmobile Truck....I watched "The Beverly Hillbillies" many times as a kid....this truck is a real girl magnet. Just ask Jethro Bodine.

    If the ad is true, the prices seems pretty good too!

    Wonder why it has a temp tag on it?
    5 speed...never see that anymore, especially on an Eddie Bauer!

    "just send me a check for 1000 and I'll send you a check to cash for me...its 2000 and you can keep 500 for yourself...…"

    something like that.

    Some nice cars on here.

    This is my daily driver - a late 2006 Volvo S60 in need of a wash. I do a lot of driving for work and this car eats up the miles without issues and is very comfortable.

    I've owned three Volvos' in my life, all had over 300,000 miles when I traded them off, all with very little mechanical issues. :salute:

    Got this one just over two years ago with 122,000 miles on it, I have put about 67k more miles on it and apart from wear & tear and some minor electrical niggles, it's been perfect :cool:

    I nearly bought an e39 with the 4.4 v8 in a sedan, a 540 sport. But. That darn rwd and daily driver on snow territory. So I passed and I owned an insanely rare 4.2 liter v8 04 Audi allroad for 8 yrs. I loved that car. Not as fast as my fox body mustangs, but it could do it all. 00707_cs7x7yY2Nqj_600x450.jpg

    I missed this thread and didn't see it. I've had several broncoII's. My ex fiance's was a 90 with the flush headlights and a 5spd to go with the 2.9 v6.
