Bubble Wrapped 255kms: 1997 BMW 740i E38

To quote one of my favorite podcaster/medical experts (Peter Attia); I'm giving up drinking for a month.  Whoops, bad punctuation; I'm giving up. Drinking for a month.  Anyway, the COVID-19 thing has gotten me a little stir crazy because I'm cooped up inside with a wife and three kids, but that doesn't mean I can't dream about buying a 255km E38 BMW. I know, you could get a BRAND NEW 740i with self driving whatchamalits and full automatic self leveling cupholders for that price.  But...you'd just be another middle aged suit driving something that everyone else has.  The brand new E38...yeah...I'd start driving it every day, like it was a new car. But I mentioned this to Kaibeezy and he said -- 55K euros is a bucket of clams for a car you'd be a bratwurst to drive. Find this 1997 BMW 740i E38 here on eBay bidding for $55,650 Euros ($60,729 USD) with a few days to go, located in Germany.

New Old Shlock: 1982 Oldsmobile Omega X-Body, 160 Actual Miles

The Oldsmobile Omega was part of GM's X-body platform, the compact invasion that included the Chevrolet Citation, the Buick Skylark, and the Pontiac Phoenix...the latter of which at least had a cool name going for it.  The X-car in general was terrible, but the Oldsmobile was stuck in this no-man's-zone, slotted below in sportiness to Pontiac, and below in comfort to the Buick, but was somehow need to be better than the Chevrolet without actually costing GM a penny more in production costs.  What could possibly go wrong?  Find this 1982 Oldsmobile Omega with 160 miles on the odometer here on eBay bidding for $4,050 with a few hours to go, located in Livingston, NJ.

Mid Week Match-Up: A New Car

Everybody knows that guy or gal.  The person who rolls his eyes when you tell him how much money he'll save by buying a 5 year old car.  That person always buys something new, often the cheapest economy car he can find and ignores your sound advice about owning a fleet of old Saabs.  When your Viggen is getting its weekly dash rewiring, you drive the Sonett unless its raining, then you drive the 99-- you say...and then your friend buys something from the first dealer he stumbles into on his way home from work.  Lets help him out this week with a Mid Week Match-Up for the guy who needs something new.

DT Admin: Welcome To The Future

Welcome to the future...well..at least the future of Daily Turismo for the next few months.  We've had the same basic layout since this little website started mid last year and we were planning on a mid year update.  These things usually require time, planning, sometimes hiring outside graphic designers...or at least that is how normal folks would do it...not at DT.  Much in the same way we constantly seek the best deals on the car market, we are also looking for the best deals in underwear, wainscoting and graphic design...so naturally when Kaibeezy (SF bay area resident, depreciated car aficionado and graphic designer-at-large) offered to design us a new logo, we jumped at the chance.  Mostly because he offered to do it free of charge...

15k: 2012 Fiat 500

Ok - now the guys at DT have gone off the deep end - delete the bookmarks and add the domain to your banned domain list...they just featured a brand new car.  But DT is all about cheap and fun - we never said the cars had to be used.  This is the car for someone who doesn't want to crawl around on the ground poking the bottom of some dirty old car looking for rust or dealing with mustached car flippers (this ain't movember, shave it off).  The 2012 Fiat 500 is available from your local Fiat dealers and starts at $15500 for the "Pop" edition.
