oldmangrimes Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 The latest episode of The List is about buying a used car. When they get to the used car lot, the guy shows them a teal DOHC vert, and the hosts quickly dismiss it without driving it. They show it with a flat tire, and make fun of the fact that the paint is faded and that Oldsmobile is dead. But they are interested in an old Toyota Tercel, so whatever. The screen capture that they use on the main post is of the vert. Don't watch the whole thing, just skip to the 5:00 mark. They only talk about the vert for a few seconds. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/12/the-list-0325-buy-a-used-car-online/ -Old Man Grimes '95 red/black/black daily driver. Just rolled over 140k yesterday, with the top down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 oh well, they're loss, our gain. anybody that thinks a Tercel is anything but a box of fail is bound to not know of the awesomeness that is the W platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1988PhantomFE3 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I like that kind of advertising, keeps the price down so we can sneak in for the kill! I'll bet a W-Body guy let the air out of the tire valve for a better deal on the car..."That 'ol smoothie" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtpKo Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 The car is just playing dead. It doesn't want to get driven by those two idiots. - Their intention is to beat the heck out of whatever they find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 olds vert Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Who wouldn't want that 'vert? Any self respecting W guy would! Extinct brand. What does that have to do with anything? That vert is nicer than the car they ended up buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
