For those of you looking for that elusive sports car deal, Fiat Spiders are still one of the most underrated options on the market today. To beat the point into the ground, where else can you get a twin cam four cylinder engine from a famous engine designer, putting its power through a five speed transmission, all clothed in a classic Pininfarina design, for so little money? Even rubber-bumper Alfa Spiders seem to be edging out of this territory. Anyhow, to give you an idea of what’s available, take a look at this 1972 Fiat 124 Sport spider for $3000 in Tracy, CA.

Cheap and Not-Cheap, Part 2 – Pair of Fiat Spiders
October 5, 2013Turbo Notches – Pair of Saab 900 Turbo Sedans
October 5, 2013It’s amazing and kind of sad it’s become a rarity to see original Saab 900s driving around on the street anymore. For the level of popularity they had in the 1980s, and a level of durability comparable to a Volvo 240, you’d expect to see more survivors. Perhaps their performance orientation means more have succumbed to accidents or engine failure, but in any case, it’s a treat to see one being driven. While ownership of a 900 sedan brings up some tough questions (try buying a Christmas tree with your non-hatch car, for example), at this point, the rarity means you should include the sedan in your search for the best car out there. And speaking of best car out there, let’s check out the best car for the price, a 1984 Saab 900 turbo sedan for only $450 in Simi Valley, CA.
Again! 1985 Renault Encore
September 24, 2013Sold as the Renault 11 in the rest of the world, the Renault Encore was introduced in 1984 to compete with other hatchbacks like the VW Golf, Ford Escort, and Chevrolet Chevette. While there were over 600,000 Alliances and Encores sold from 1983-1987, very few remain since they were budget cars. Of those, very few Encores remain, to the extent this seems to be the first one available for purchase in several years. You can find this 39,000-mile 1985 Renault Encore with bidding at $1526 and about one day left to go in San Luis Obispo, CA.
