Yay finally someone listened and has a new car with real keys 🔑 😁😁😁. 😂. I’ll take both.

When I was in school we had a 2004 Monte Carlo with 98 miles on it the Chevrolet dealership had donated it to the school back in 2004 when it was new. They tore it up and scrapped it last year 🙁. Not that I’m a fan of Chevrolet but it had real keys. We did save a lot of the parts from it though.
 
Those LH cars were real nice cars when they were newer. Had a bunch of customers with them. They drove nice and I liked fixing them back in the day. Lots of parts for them have gotten real hard to come by. Its never major component failures that send a car like that to the scrapyard, its always little stuff.

Have a customer with a 93 Dynasty in similar condition at 3000 miles on it (still even smells like a new car and sporting its original Goodyear Invictas with the dual white wall). That thing is **** near impossible to find parts for past maintenance items. Speedometer failed on it a few years back and no parts available to fix it. We wound up getting 3 used clusters to get enough parts to make one good cluster.
 
Not a fan of the white and tan exterior with silver wheels, and the light blue and grey interior... with some fake brown woodgrain to jumble it up even more.

Too many different colors on the same car.
 
Off topic, but somewhat related, and interesting........to me! Apologies - not trying to hijack thread.

I/my work unit/workplace received the last Dodge D model pickup produced in 1993. I wanted to store it, but was required to use it as a work truck for about 10 years, after which it was sold at our surplus outlet. I am not in this picture, but I did participate in the ceremony at the Warren, MI assembly plant. I accepted the keys and said a few words. I remember one of the assembly line workers stated "last of a dinosaur", referring to the very long run this body style ran.

That is quite cool! A good friend of my Dad got the last Buick LeSabre built out of the D-Ham plant. His co-worker had been driving nothing but Buick’s for the last 20 years. He still has that Buick too....wanna say if has like 30ish thousand on it now.....

I’d have to think that car will have its problems after pretty much sitting for 27 years. At just 36 miles a year a lot of seals and such will be in poor shape.

I would wonder too, but after seeing all these “started after 20+ years” videos, it might run surprisingly well....
 
I don't see the attraction of a "near zero miles" car. If you drive it as though it's a new car (which it isn't), it pretty soon won't have zero miles. And if you don't drive it what are you going to do with it? Pay insurance and store it?

As it hasn't been driven any distance, if the car was produced with defective components they probably haven't been found. And then (as Timmastertech says) where do you get parts?

Some auto makers are apparently good at offering parts for the long term. Mercedes is reputed to be very good. And BMW might be. And some cars are so popular that someone will be offering parts for them forever - think early Mustangs.

Imagine calling Hagerty for collector's car insurance on a 94' Concorde. And you want over $15k for your car's "value".
 
I always wondered what became of this barn find? Far more unusual.

66-mile 1974 Ford Maverick might be most remarkable unremarkable barn find ever

Well, if you were to arrive at your local cars-and-coffee in this 1974 Ford Maverick with 66 miles on the odometer, you wouldn't be a self-indulgent wiener. OK, so champagne probably won't fall from the heavens, and this may not be the big score Nicholas Cage had in mind. Per its listing on...

That is pretty nice for a Neon. Interesting it has a manual as well. I had an early early 95 Neon (4 lug wheels) and it was a fun solid little car once the HG was replaced.
 
From 1995 to 2019, I had four LH cars. Two company cars, one a mostly work car, and one bought as a low mileage used car my wife drove for years. All between 120K and 175K miles when I sold them or turned them in. All running well on their original drivetrains. Two needed fuel pumps sometime past 100K. One had a water pump seize and take out the timing belt before scheduled replacement. The death knell for the 175K mile Concorde was engine cradle bushings. A rotten job on an older rust belt car that was getting pretty rough. So I let it go. Other than that, brakes, tires, oil changes, and struts on a couple of them. And sway bar links. Lots of sway bar links!
When my wife got her Jeep a year and a half ago, it made sense to keep a ten year old Vibe rather than a clean twenty year old 300M. But now I drive a Vibe. 🤮
 
There was a post in this forum about a used 2007 BMW with 3400 miles that was sold recently.
I wonder why some people buys a vehicle and not use it.
