    We love the Toyota Land Cruiser. From the 80-Series to the Heritage Edition to the Prado to the Prado-based GX460, we’re Land Cruiser die-hards here at Hooniverse. In any guise, the Cruiser is off-road capable, durable as durable gets, and built to the highest standard in the automotive industry (at least this side of high-end…

    Found For Sale: Does this 1999 Isuzu VehiCross your mind as a good deal?

    The price is bonkers, I’ll tell you that. Still, the Isuzu Vehicross is a rare machine. And this example from 1999 seems to be in good shape. Everything reportedly works well. And the listed mileage of 110,383 is actually low for a car from 23 years ago. Additionally, these should be fairly capable rigs. There’s…

    If you bought one new, you paid at least $11k for one. But now you can pick up a Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle for more than half-off that price if you search around… especially if the one you’re looking at was dropped. The Full Throttle model is aimed to fulfill your flat-track desires. It seems…

    No, it’s not a 1965 model with the cool hidden headlights. But it IS a first-generation Riviera, and it DOES have a 7.0-liter V8 under the hood. This 1964 Buick Riviera has clearly seen better days. But the listing says the car is complete, fully equipped, has no rust, and runs excellent. And a running,…

    I’m a sucker for a good green paint job. And this W210-generation 2001 Mercedes-Benz E320 wagon wears its green hue well. It’s for sale locally on Craigslist and I’m telling myself I don’t need this one right now. But I’m having a hard time listening to my brain at the moment. Do I wish the…

    Welcome to Craigslist Crapshoot, our weekly-ish search for the most bizarre, awesome, and/or terrible vehicles that the online classifieds has to offer.  Yeah, it’s been a whole… The problem with randomly looking for cars you don’t need is that you often find something you want. But let’s say you needed a used car but you’re…

    Having recently sold my Project Integra on Bring-a-Trailer (more on that later), I started casually looking around for its pointless replacement. I started with Craigslist, of course, and it again proved itself to be a complete win/fail. Right on the first page on my local listings was the pictured homemade jewel. Based on a 1977…

    On the Mopar scale, the six-cylinder Duster ranks somewhere closer to Dodge Neon than ’68 Charger. Sure, there are cool Dusters out there, but a bog-standard six-banger may be viewed with rose-colored glasses. It’s intriguing today, sure, but nothing about which you should get too excited. Still, there’s something about this Duster that has me interested.…

    A Series 70 Land Cruiser is a wonderful thing. We don’t get them though, which is sad. The 70 Series arrived in the mid 1980’s to replace the aging 40 Series trucks. Toyota wanted a version of its Land Cruiser to retain the tough, off-road capability of the versions that came before. Yes, the 60…

    Talk about a bad day. Not only does the 1997 Toyota 4Runner that you’ve owned for 20 years end up getting wrecked, but it’s your brother-in-law behind the wheel at the time of the accident. Salt meet wound. The Craigslist ad poster has been with this particular 4Runner for 160,000 miles beginning in 1998. The…
