The Justy was pretty terrible when it was new. I don't think it's any better 30 years later. I'm not sure what the attraction is here. That one seems to be in pretty nice shape, anyway.

Yeah, I guess in the same way prices are making more scam cars come in the marketplace, it is also attracting "collectible" cars? Lotta quotation marks around "collectible" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oYo0FAke8E Mr. Regular is selling his Sera on Cars and Bids https://carsandbids.com/auctions/rbyYzkwQ/1995-toyota-sera The main attraction (aside from being well kept) is that it is a standard.

I’d say the main attraction is that they’re practically nonexistent in the US, no matter how common elsewhere.

So honest question: With cars like that which have, afaik, never had a LHD variant, how do you deal with getting the headlights approved?

Hope that they're old enough that they use a standard sealed beam of some kind. Or that the housings can be separated and retro fitted with a LHD cut-off projector.

Don't be a square and go for the boring Subaru with that power plant, go for something that really pops.  Nebakenezzer posted:
We had one of those, including the manual. The Toyota Sera is supremely cool, but it was designed for professional women in Japan. That's why that brochure he has is filled with stylish women, it is literally a fashion accessory. It lives and dies by its doors. By virtue of it being light and small I can see arguing it could be a sports car, but it really is just a Paseo/Tercel with neato doors at its core no matter what the compression is at. It's the easiest way to maintain a sick awesome car for any local car show you'd like to go to. The 5 speed does fundamentally change the car's personality but that's kind of the same with *any* car. slidebite posted:So honest question: With cars like that which have, afaik, never had a LHD variant, how do you deal with getting the headlights approved?

My guess is that the VAST majority of people who inspect anything like that are just going to be all like "head lights work? Yup? Pass". And not know or not give two single fuckin shits that they "point up to the left" when turned on.

I can't speak for elsewhere, but supposedly Alberta inspections specifically mention headlight pointing for RHD vehicles. I assumed other North American jurisdictions would be similar but that was apparently an incorrect assumption.quote:Purpose of Inspection

On the Top Gear where they took (crappy) RHD performance cars on the autobahn they just used stick on blockers on the Sierra. Won't make the beam correct, but it'll stop it from blinding other drivers.

But you sacrifice brightness and it's actually good to illuminate the curb side so I think if you possibly can you should get your lights properly adjusted or replaced.

My first car was a 92 Tercel and I later owned a 92 Paseo for a bit so the Sera is deeply tempting to me.

I thought the paseos were kinda neat looking at the time, and even remember seeing a convertible one at one time. Was that a factory thing or aftermarket? The convertible paseo?

There was a factory convertible second gen Paseo, but they were pretty rare as the second gen was 96/97 only, and IIRC convertibles were 97 only. opengl fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Apr 10, 2022 |

This thing is sitting at $2050. https://regalauctions.com/inventory.php?a=details&contract=34349  It could have been friends with the blown engine SVX  Idling at 2k with no check engine light, what do you figure that means? And what's the deal with the airbag between the column and steering wheel? Powershift fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Apr 11, 2022 |

No idea about the air bag but that thing is trashed. What does an engine and trans from one of those cost by itself? Cause the rest is scrap from the looks of things.

A transmission seems to be around $2200. I don't even have a project in mind, but it seems like a rare opportunity if it stays as low as it is.

From the few photos, the seats even look decent still. Of course, tough to say for sure, but I'm pretty positive it's easily worth more than its going for. Didn't Bajaha buy a salvage WRX as a donor car?

IDK, first year for the smaller B-bodies, and I bet this thing rides like a dream, but $10,500 seems like a lot for a 77 Oldsmobile. https://www.facebook.com/groups/333245820204980/permalink/1824816227714591/?sale_post_id=1824816227714591

I haven't had anyone check aim on my headlights since the early '90s. edit: Dallas/Fort Worth ,Texas area, for context. ausgezeichnet posted:I really wish I had room for this, but I wouldn't pay what this geezer is asking. So the important question here is: is it an El Camino with an Eldo front end, or, as the ad implies, and Eldo with an El Camino bed grafted on. If the latter, that's infinitely cooler, or at least more challenging. It would maintain the Caddy (or Olds very possibly for that generation) V8 and FWD.

Ya, flower cars are actually Cadillacs or Lincolns or whatever that a coach builder takes a grinder to. They’re not Elky or Ranchero conversions.
