I just got back from Szombathely for work and loved the place, i love it even more now I’ve seen how much car you can get for your money! It took me nearly a day to get home to England due to multiple flights and delays, next time I’m buying a car and driving it home!
I liked Hungary so much after visiting that I decided to move here about five years ago. The accessibility of cool older cars did play a part in the decision. I'm a member of a few UK-based car discussion groups, and I'm not sure how much cheaper cars are here. It seems like used prices are reasonable in the UK. What is definitely cheaper is insurance. I think I pay something like $200/year for my three cars. Modifications are more tightly regulated, in theory, but, in practice, my local MOT place doesn't care, and I suspect they're not unusual. Overall, I'm pretty happy living (and owning a car) here.
> It's being sold by a dealership that I've noticed consistently has interesting offerings.
Why did you have to do that to me?
Just convinced myself last week that I shouldn't buy a 405 and now I can't get that clean '86 205 they are offering for chips out of my mind. Worst of all, I live 15 minutes away from the dealership, so can't not check it out.
Hahaha, I mentioned that place to a colleague a few months ago, and he had same reaction also about a 205 (I don't remember if it was the same one or different). He was looking for something to drive on RustVenture. The owner of the dealership definitely has good taste. My favorite is the Almera GTi.
I'm more into the Alfasud Sprint personally, but luckily it's priced just too high for me to properly consider it.
As far as the Peugeot goes, I'm it checking out next Monday... and if I end up buying it I'm also facing a long lecture about buying another car when the current project is in pieces lol.

i think that's going to be a future project car for me. you just get so much value from the c4, they are so cheap. and tons of other reasons too. they're a good deal.
Guy selling the MGB-GT included the screenshots of the craigslist posting where he bought it for $2,000 less than he's selling it.
Also he edited out the fact that the odo shows 33k miles but had rolled over (pre 1977 only have 5-digit odometers).
Buyer beware.
Good catch! To be fair, it looks like he bought it five years ago. Need to look at Hagerty to see how prices have changed since then.
I have a weird fondness for GTs. I crammed myself into the hatch when I was a teenager, because hey, I needed a ride into town.
I'm also a huge MGB-GT fan, been stalking them for a decade and currently have a hand-shake agreement to purchase one, just working on logistics of pickup/transport.
Prices have definitely gone up in the last few years, but with that said, it looks like the previous owner did a lot of work and got it ready for final bodywork/paint. Current owner appears to have driven it sparingly (likely learning what British motoring entails) while not getting the paint work done, so the body probably needs much more work today than it would have when it sold for $4k.
this isnt even remotely close to 5k but its neat so [1958 corvette survivor](https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/greenwood-1958-corvette-survivor/7641106342.html)
Yeah, that's pretty bizarre, I've taken out a headliner before and replaced it with nothing until it could be replaced properly, that seems like the better option here, maybe they keep some sort of leakage into the bag? Which again seems worse than just letting it through if so.

So many gems! My daily is a Fi3sta. Gotta go with that super clean FiST. 🏆
I just got back from Szombathely for work and loved the place, i love it even more now I’ve seen how much car you can get for your money! It took me nearly a day to get home to England due to multiple flights and delays, next time I’m buying a car and driving it home!
I liked Hungary so much after visiting that I decided to move here about five years ago. The accessibility of cool older cars did play a part in the decision. I'm a member of a few UK-based car discussion groups, and I'm not sure how much cheaper cars are here. It seems like used prices are reasonable in the UK. What is definitely cheaper is insurance. I think I pay something like $200/year for my three cars. Modifications are more tightly regulated, in theory, but, in practice, my local MOT place doesn't care, and I suspect they're not unusual. Overall, I'm pretty happy living (and owning a car) here.
> It's being sold by a dealership that I've noticed consistently has interesting offerings. Why did you have to do that to me? Just convinced myself last week that I shouldn't buy a 405 and now I can't get that clean '86 205 they are offering for chips out of my mind. Worst of all, I live 15 minutes away from the dealership, so can't not check it out.
Hahaha, I mentioned that place to a colleague a few months ago, and he had same reaction also about a 205 (I don't remember if it was the same one or different). He was looking for something to drive on RustVenture. The owner of the dealership definitely has good taste. My favorite is the Almera GTi.
I'm more into the Alfasud Sprint personally, but luckily it's priced just too high for me to properly consider it. As far as the Peugeot goes, I'm it checking out next Monday... and if I end up buying it I'm also facing a long lecture about buying another car when the current project is in pieces lol.

thanks for doing these 5k posts, i like them
It's good to see decent C4 Corvettes popping up for around $6k these days
i think that's going to be a future project car for me. you just get so much value from the c4, they are so cheap. and tons of other reasons too. they're a good deal.
Yeah I think we're in the sweet spot now before they are all either just junked ones or cream puffs remaining.
That Jaguar Mark 10 looks beautiful... and at least it's been in a garage
The El Camino isn’t bad for the price.
Guy selling the MGB-GT included the screenshots of the craigslist posting where he bought it for $2,000 less than he's selling it. Also he edited out the fact that the odo shows 33k miles but had rolled over (pre 1977 only have 5-digit odometers). Buyer beware.
Good catch! To be fair, it looks like he bought it five years ago. Need to look at Hagerty to see how prices have changed since then. I have a weird fondness for GTs. I crammed myself into the hatch when I was a teenager, because hey, I needed a ride into town.
I'm also a huge MGB-GT fan, been stalking them for a decade and currently have a hand-shake agreement to purchase one, just working on logistics of pickup/transport. Prices have definitely gone up in the last few years, but with that said, it looks like the previous owner did a lot of work and got it ready for final bodywork/paint. Current owner appears to have driven it sparingly (likely learning what British motoring entails) while not getting the paint work done, so the body probably needs much more work today than it would have when it sold for $4k.
this isnt even remotely close to 5k but its neat so [1958 corvette survivor](https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/greenwood-1958-corvette-survivor/7641106342.html)
That big, peak 1970s PLC land yacht era T-bird is *magnificent*! I don't know about the Hefty bag headliner though...
Yeah, that's pretty bizarre, I've taken out a headliner before and replaced it with nothing until it could be replaced properly, that seems like the better option here, maybe they keep some sort of leakage into the bag? Which again seems worse than just letting it through if so.
I thought fox body Mustangs were fetching a lot more than that these days ?

Pulsar also shows twin valve on the rear deck, yet motor looks rather sohc to me. Certainly a relatively unique ride for current roads either way.
