Automotive Agora: Malibu Maxx SS, Mk3 Supra, and another unexpected manual

 (Automotive Agora is not used for advertising purposes, and is solely for entertainment purposes)

Welcome to the second main series of Southern New England Carspotting, Automotive Agora, which is a series where I show the most interesting vehicles I find for sale online. The Agora was a marketplace in ancient Greek history, so I thought it would be the perfect name for this series. I will show an image of each vehicle, but also give credit by providing a link to the listing. Now that I've explained the series, let's check out some cool cars!


1. 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx SS

 

The Malibu Maxx by itself is an interesting liftback variety of a GM vehicle during one of the company's toughest times, but the Malibu Maxx SS is a whole new level of odd, since it's GM's performance trim, but on a liftback variant of a pretty typical midsize car. While this specific Malibu Maxx has an automatic Transmission, it makes up for that with only 100,000 miles. The seller also claims that a mere 5,000 Malibu Maxx's were made in it's model year, and that out of those, "Only 1200 [were] made in black". It's always really fascinating to find rare trims of specific cars, such as this one. In fact, I didn't even know there was a SS trim of the Malibu Maxx until I spotted one myself in May. I assumed that the vehicle was quite rare, and I was correct, since it was only available for two years, and as seen on the listing, the 2007 model is very uncommon to come across.

2. 1990 Honda Accord


Remember that manual Accord I found on the last post? Well this accord is also a manual! There isn't much to say about this one outside of the fact that it's in great condition inside and out despite it's fairly high mileage. The only real downside to the vehicle in my opinion is the automatic seatbelts. I've just never really been a fan of them.

3. 1986 Toyota Supra


Everybody likes Supra's, but it's rare to find a cheap example of one. While this one has high mileage and some cosmetic imperfections in the interior, It's still in pretty great condition, especially when considering that it's only 4,000 dollars. The Mk3 Supra tends to be overshadowed by it's successor, but It's probably my favorite Supra, and I'd love to own one in my lifetime

4. 1993 BMW 5 Series Wagon

Lastly, we have a fairly old 5 Series wagon, which I'm frankly unsure if I've seen before, although I'll admit I'm not the biggest BMW fan. However, that doesn't mean that I'm not a fan of this wagon. In fact, this has to be one of my favorite BMW's I've seen. It has a whopping 272,000 miles on it, and it also needs a fair amount of work, but it's also a 5 Series Wagon, which is likely a rare sight nowadays.



That's it for this post. I'll likely shorten this series, and make it one listing per post, because I feel like that would be much easier to do. I'll see you all soon for another post!
