Some people have no respect for these cars. Sad.

Need to rant about this. So I see a 300D posted on kijiji yesterday for $600. I rush out to go and see it and it's in disgusting condition. Oil pouring out of every area you can imagine, rust all over, interior ripped and never washed and the guy started it up for me! I asked him to shut it off as it was his car so I could check the oil. IT WAS EMPTY. He said he just adds oil now and then and it drives fine... I got really angry.

Honestly, this guy did nothing to the car and just drove it. For years and years. It's absolutely amazing the abuse these cars take and still continue to drive. How can people abuse such beautiful mechanical engineering like that? If you want to save money and abuse cars, drive a kia or civic that you picked up for $400. I have pics but I don't even want to post them cuz it makes me so upset!
