The eBay garage


Car prices on eBay are falling from the sky. Here's three picks:

1) 2002 BMW M5 Sedan - $12k auction - the fact that you can get a car of this caliber for under 20 large is phenomenal. 0-60 in 4.6, 1/4 mile in 13.08 (that's almost a 12 second sedan....). AND you can pretend to be Jason Statham from the first Transporter movie (the only good one in the series) and charge people to ride with you.
2) 2006 Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab - $22k auction - basically you get the fastest truck on the road for under $25k. Plus you can tell your friends "yeah, I was changing the oil in the Viper engine this weekend, whew, 10 cylinders uses a lot of oil. Or Maybe it's the 500+ horsepower. Who knows...."
3) 2005 Pontiac GTO - $15k BUY IT NOW! - with 400hp, that's under $38 per horse. For comparison, a Corvette of the same model year has the same engine for about $80 a horse, and with the GTO you don't need to go into retirement, live on a golf course, and wear a wind jacket to drive it.
