[QUOTE=RoboChimp;51465973]You mean high prices?
But what made people in the '60s '70s and '80s willing to buy them?[/QUOTE]
The cool muacle cars of the late 60s and early 70s were cheaper than a family car. A roadrunner could be had for <$3000 whereas a new yorker or similar was about $3500
[QUOTE=crazycory65;51478070][url]http://columbia.craigslist.org/cto/5893384276.html[/url]
Yes or No?[/QUOTE]
price is nah
build yourself not buy built is my philosophy
If I drive my vehicle from Alberta Canada to lets say, California, does it have to adhere to their vehicle standards? Like emissions, equiptment violations (no fender flares), stuff like that? Are they allowed to tow it? If they ticket me can I just not pay it and go home?

most of the time I agree however if your gonna buy a built car that's a pretty stellar choice especially since they're asking 1900 more than the engine in it is worth new not to mention the rest of it

I have no idea how to ford but.. looks like we have a budget of 3100.01 after the motor.......
Which IMO is quite a lot for accessories and shell.
Yeah Marauders around me stock are about 7.5k-10k anyways. So that one is actually a damn god price, 12 hour drive but still.
That factory radio sure looks like a double din touch screen

Emissions or any of that kind of stuff, nah. Pretty sure they'll charge you only if it's against the law in your area as well.
They could hassle you for like lack of mudflaps or something but AFAIK when we towed a utility trailer through there the CHP hassled us since they weren't registered but in the end just made sure it was legal in Oregon. All trailers must be plated down there but not up here in Oregon if they're under a certain length.

I think I'll phone up transport Canada or talk with somebody when I get my passport renewed, they probably wont understand why I willingly drive a vehicle with a few equiptment violations, but I think I'll get more or less a definitive answer. May just throw flares on for the sake of the drive, then the worst they can get me on is no muffler, red clearance lights, and no front mudflaps (but I have the big trailer flaps). Probably some small shit too.

[/QUOTE]
Front flaps shouldn't be any issues and the flares aren't a huge issue either, it's really more the lack of rear mudflaps. I don't think we really have any offset related laws and inspections really only exist in a few states in the Northeast. Northern Cali and Southern Oregon has tons and tons of trucks, until you hit like Socal trucks are pretty common like elsewhere in the US.
Got offered a BMW E46 330i engine block (M54B30) for 800usd. Has 60k miles on it.
Seriously considering making this deal, it makes about 220whp.
However I know nothing of this engine.

Well since I've never actually had a car registered to my name (I did have a bike, so if you want to get technical all of these things could be said to be my 2007 Suzuki Marauder GZ250) I'll do this based on the cars my parents let me use as a daily driver. Me and my sister do share a car, but it's registered to my dad for insurance purposes.
Your first car: 2003 Ford Windstar. (Was the first car I ever drove, and was basically "my" car whenever I needed one)
Last car you sold: 2001 Mazda Protege, donated to charity actually
Last car you bought: 2007 Mazda 3
Favorite car you ever owned: 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis. Here's a picture as to why:
[t]http://i.imgur.com/WsUkLpl.jpg[/t]
That's me with my grandparents in 1996 at the dealership when they bought it, just 2 weeks before my sister was born.
Longest car you've owned: 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis. I drove it for 2.5 years before the frame rusted out, but it has been in the family since '96. It's actually still sitting in my neighbour's driveway because he hasn't scrapped it yet. It's been there since the summer of 2014.
The car you wish you never sold: 2008 Ford Escape. It was a great car, but since it's my parents' it's not up to me. They used it for trade-in on a Mercedes GLK in 2013.
Most fun car you've owned: 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis. It was so much fun to floor it getting on the highway with that massive V8 engine.
Worst car you've owned: 2001 Mazda Protege. Even though the Windstar was full of problems, and I could list every single one of them for you, the Protege was worse. By the time we got rid of it it shook violently when idling, the cabin smelled like exhaust, and part of the driver's door was about to rust off.
You've got 30 grand...what car would you buy: Ford F150 4x4
Favorite manufacturer: Dunno. My family's owned a lot of Fords though.
Least favourite manufacturer: Scion
Favorite car in the world: 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
The car you hate most in the entire world: Any of those fucking vans that looks like a box on wheels.
The last thing you purchased for a car: Oil change
Guys calling me back with an answer for that Marauder so hopefully, it's good news! :smile:
Hey guys, I got a 1992 Suzuki Sidekick JX 2D (not the convertible one) for free. It has been sitting in snow / ice for around 4 years. As far as I know it was working great prior, I just need to change the battery. My question is is it worth putting between $1500 - $2000 CAD to fix eventual problems due to rust or other issues that might rise. thanks.

Impossible to say before you've (tried to) getting it running again and examined it for rust.
But sitting for 4 years means the brakes definitely needs a overhaul.
You got the car for free and you'd be hard-pressed to find a functioning car that doesn't already need work for $1500-$2000 (especially in Ontario, salt in the winter murders cars). Only problem is some rust can't be fixed. If the frame is rusty, forget it.
In Ontario, a car will fail the safety if there's "perforation rust" on any vital parts, including and especially the frame. One way I heard some people check that is by taking a screwdriver and trying to push it through the rusty part. If it punctures, then it's fucked.

I need your advice with another car. I`m currently looking at used car I could buy for cheap instead of throwing my money at the Sidekick. There is a 09 Dodge Caliber for $3500 CAD at a dealership. It passed inspection less than a year ago. Is it worth it ?
