How many people actually do the actual calculation when they sell a car for “ better gas mileage”?

Average driver 12000 miles per year
At 20 mpg and $3 gallon, that’s $1800 gas bill per year
30 mpg $1200
40 mpg $900

Repairs and maintenance will be $1800 on any car plus you have to fix whatever was the real reason they sold you the EconoBox

I think the ad mentions a scant year of ownership; it is possible this person is simply not a Bricker.
Plus the seat needs stitched.

This looks a little more price-appropriate. I'd have to see the interior though.

Somebody needs this 850T Sedan, right? Exterior looks decent, miles are not bad at all (177k), and I bet the seller would take $1000 for it:

Hmm... looks like it could possibly be a platinum. The wheels aren't original either way.

Another 850 turbo, Eastern Shore of MD
Pics aren't helping much, but the ask is parts-car money

'04 XC90 in suburban DC, for $1k...
I am openly suspicious of this one.

Sure isn't a big ask for all the new stuff hung on it, and no pics of the interior.

Probably needs an engine or transmission at that price

We have one for sale locally, same age. Again, no interior pics. They want $4000 for it with a list of issues including a badly cracked windshield, brakes needed all around and wheel bearing if memory serves. Car is only worth that in good condition!

Plenty of unknowing people out there who don't understand the cost of repairs. Usually what they list for repairs is only the worst things...............!

Yep - platinum. Those are N/A wheels.
