Saw two today. 1997 Honda CX, 5 speed, manual steering, no rust but it's not pretty. 225k KMs (139k miles) Interior is filthy but all there. Nearly new Michelins on it. I was supposed to be getting it dirt cheap off a wholesaler, so I bought it over the phone and sent a transport company to go pick it up. They called later and said the transmission was out of it and it wouldn't move? I figured it drove onto the lot where it was, so maybe the clutch was out of it or the clutch slave had a leak etc. Called the guy back told him it was broken, so he said I could have it for scrap price. How can I say no? ha ha. Turns out it has 1st and 2nd gear, and reverse. The rest of the trans is in pieces in the bottom of the case from the sounds of it!
And here's one for MetroMPG - 1996 Metro, 1.0L, 5 speed, 200k KMs (160k miles). Fancy Yokohama snow tires all around, but 2 are almost bald and two are almost new. Guess the guy never heard of tire rotation? Its sitting in the auction parking lot, so I am guessing it will be running through on Thursday, fuzzy wooly seat covers and all!
