According to the seller, the inline-six engine has racked up just over 147,000 miles, but comes with a brand new battery, fuel pump, and a recent oil change. This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SE is the epitome of luxurious German engineering, and it’s up for grabs on CraigsList in Miami. If your idea of luxury is a thousand-dollar smartphone, you might want to reconsider. It also has a 2.2-liter turbo with a five-speed – nobody in their right mind would choose a freaking iPhone over this example of 1980’s awesome sauce. For all intents and purposes, this 1989 Ford Probe GT is a Mazda MX-6, only better because it still looks futuristic nearly 30 years later, and it has body-color tri-spoke wheels. When the ad headline doesn’t even mention the car’s name, you know it’s a keeper. (Though, apparently, it cannot be photographed fully in the frame.) Unlike an iPhone, this thing basically cannot be destroyed. Following its time in the police fleet, this specific Crown Vic was decommissioned, turned into a taxi (where I’m sure it saw all sorts of gross/tough work), and decommissioned again. So why would I spend $1,000 on some fragile piece of technology when I could buy something that is, as far as I’m concerned, indestructible? This is a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor – as in, the body-on-frame Panther with the beefed-up suspension so cops can jump it over curbs and slide it in front of bad guys. I probably drop my iPhone twice a week, on average. 2004 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Craigslist ad for $1,000 or less, and explain why you'd have it (or have it over an iPhone).
The rules here are simple: Find a running vehicle on a U.S. So if you're like us, and find that thousand-dollar price tag a bit hard to swallow, consider one of these fully functional automotive alternatives, instead. You know what it can't do? Drive you somewhere.
