Quest for the Least Reliable Vehicle for MontuckyFried

Inspired by this:
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/top...ink_source=app

And MontuckyFried's interest in this V12 BMW, broken down somewhere in Texas:

https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/ct...444584210.html

What's the next least reliable vehicle imaginable for Montucky to select and push, pull, or drag home? Must be inexpensive to purchase, preferably manual transmission, European.

DeLorean and Yugo are probably too old.

Recommendations for possibly reliable beaters will fall on deaf ears. Nothing from Toyota, Honda, or even the easy to fix domestic things like Jeep XJ Cherokees. The only XJs to be considered here shall be from Jaaaaag.

Anyone know of an Aston Martin Lagonda that ran when parked?

VW Phaeton or RollsRoyce Silver Spirit should make the list. Bugatti is probably out of the price range but truly atrocious repair bills

$112k (list) to $3k in 16 years is impressive

it’s not European but how about a Fiero

1981 Dino 308 with all-white wiring harness FTW

I offer for consideration this 2009 Jaguar XF in need of a head gasket. $2200.

Find actual for sale listings and link them here for Montucky to make questionable decisions.

Oh man I wanted to show him this...

The obvious answer here is something with an Italian pedigree, preferably a Maserati Biturbo.

2000 Audi A8 that overheats after 20 minutes. IF you can keep your driving to 19 minute increments you'll be fine.

It's not a manual but it's a euro, cheap and needs work so it's a TGR trifecta.

I think he needs to track down Charlie Sheen's armored Maybach:

or

both seem like great options

Any vehicle in Wisconsin. I parked next to this Dodge Durango today at Christie Mountain.

Hahaha. NOW we're talking. Keep 'em coming.

My weakness for dirt cheap Euro cars is like Boomer's weakness for thicc women. And there is certainly a steep price to be paid for either.

Don’t sleep on Sterling

There are 3, three, of that same rig…same color, same vintage, same rust, that are daily commuters to my work. 3 different guys.

6/10 tailgaters prefer white Durangos

Any love for a Conquest/Starion?

Honestly all that really goes wrong at that stage is when the brake lines rust through you kinda have to do the entire thing and it’s a nightmare. And fuel tanks and pumps.

But otherwise it’s just looks.

with seatwear that suggests mileage not accurate.

Branded Titles: Rebuilt, Salvage


Fire damage reported

Looking better all the time!

If you're mowing your yard and you find a old broken down car... you might be montucky fried??? -Foxworthy..

And the wheel bearings and ball joints I guess

Some really good suggestions coming up already here. I like the branded title offerings too - what could go wrong?

Protip for anyone who is trying to help Montucky. Insert "mechanic's special" into your search terms.

I’ve got a younger newer neighbor who just bought 5x the house he needs, tech guy, and on day 1 he moved his cherry looking Phaeton W12 into the third garage. I commented on it and he said it’s like it rolled out of the factory. Except it hasn’t run for years due to some electrical gremlins.

I have an '04 Audi allroad that I would consider parting with. As the owner of the great shop I took it to for years said to me one time when I was bitching about all the shit that was going wrong, "Well what did you expect when you bought the most complicated car ever built?"

Looks mint and runs perfect right now, though.
