Beat Worthy: Jeep Wagoneer

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is arguably the first SUV in the modern tradition. Its spacious, slow, comfortable, thirsty, is actually capable off-road, tow's nearly anything, and has all the style and size of a barn. 1990 is just about as new as they come and not many other cars from that decade wear wood grain as well as the Jeep-zilla. The ad seems straight forward with all the pertinent information. If you're looking for a capable winter beater with the style of your father's living room, look no further.

Tell Him He's Dreamin': Cadillac Seville Long Hood

Stretching a Cadillac is a concept that predates the rumble seat. Although most Caddys get the extra inches aft of the B-pillar, not in front of the A-pillar. Wire wheels, white wall tires, vinyl roof, and a continental kit complete this malaise custom. Considering a running 1980 Cadillac Seville in need of a paint job is at best a $1500 car, the $17,000 asking price is kind of steep for a questionable custom. Of course the ad leaves out most important details like milage, running condition, and amount of hookers who traversed the rear seat but he's willing to negotiate.
