Name a cheap car you've always wanted, but never bought.

[YesterdayAgain]

Example: I've always wanted an 80's model Monte Carlo SS. It started when that was going to be the first "nice car" when I was going to be shopping for a specific car instead of a cheap one that runs. I also was going to get that because I couldn't afford the insurance on a new Z28 or SS.

Well, I discovered how cheap insurance can be when putting it in your dad's name and I ended up getting a Z28. To this day, I still wouldn't mind having an 88 Monte Carlo SS. I figure I would probably pick one up for $5k or so. Eh, maybe sometime...

Any other coulda/woulda/shoulda stories?

fox body mustang for me. they are going up in price now.

i found a rare fox one time just ripe for the plucking - 93 yellow lx vert 5.0 5spd w/ black leather. these are rare, and if you find one seller wants bank for them, at least for a fox car. only about 90k miles. it was sitting a dealership, he had no idea what he had. i think he was asking about 7g's. i'm an idiot for not buying that car. would snatch it up if it ever came along again. but it probably wont.

As a kid for some reason I always thought the Dusters looked cool. That would be mine.

Did you miss the word cheap in the title?

An old 80s turbo Chrysler, as long as it's not the LeBaron.

+1 on the turbo Chrysler... the Conquest/Starion looked good and would be fun to toss around a road-course.

Yours was not a 427.

I would also like to buy exact matches for my first two cars; a 92 Cutlass Cierra S and a 91 Buick Park Avenue.

Park av FTW, my family's first car when we moved to Us, loved it and thought it was the most comfortable car out there.

Were you driving it "Wrecklessly"?oke:

It was an accident that where 50-50 fault would have been applied to myself and the other driver.

I was waiting to turn at an intersection, then I proceeded to turn on a yellow-red light. The person I thought was stopping blew the the light and t-boned me. My first trial and error driving lesson. :dw:

If that's the worst accident you have ever been in, so be it. EVERYONE(99% of people) get into car wrecks at one point or another.

It probably was. I've never been in an accident where my car wasn't drivable after.
