You find a classified ad in a local newspaper. It looks like a promising find so you decide to cut it out and call the owner. Strange that a German newspaper would have a car located in Belgium, but hey, what can you do? at least it’s cheap.
You do some research online and find the specs.
-1.8L i4 engine producing 89hp and 150nm of torque.
-It has a turbocharger and electronic fuel injection, not bad!
-It has a 5 speed manual gearbox and respectable fuel consumption at 8.2L/100km
-Sadly this isn’t the 4wd model with the locking diffs, but at that price I’m sure we’ll manage.
-Some decent interior specs, not really Mercedes quality but not a 2cv either!
-Safety doesn’t seem very advanced, but it is a 30 year old car after all.

Many years later you find the old advert cutout. The car is long gone but the memories feel like yesterday. You think back to the good old days. You go see the old boys again after a long time. Life is good.
Ok enough with the sentimentalities! Let’s actually see some pictures of the car!

Hello everyone!
As my debut to Automation Challenges, I’m submitting a used 1992 Hudson Matterhorn. Equipped with the base-model 2.9L Inline-4 petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, it’s nothing special, but it runs and drives and has already been all around Europe. Unlike the more prestigious 3.5L V8 variant, it’s also less prone to catching fire while sitting in traffic.
Price When New: €15,900
Age: 29 years
Mileage: 341,690km
Calculated Used Price: €1,024.82
Economy: 14.9 L/100KM
Total Cost: €1,872.96
Best of luck to everyone, and Happy Holidays!

Model Info
In the decade following the closure of Legion’s UK branch in 1975, Legion’s European model line consisted increasingly of rebadged Japanese Homura products, so to differentiate Legion models from the Homuras, and to re-establish some brand identity, Legion adopted a new design language, with conservative, American-inspired styling cues. The Legion Wimbrel is an example of this movement; a late 80s re-style of the Homura Celtia/Legion Gull, previously only distinguished from each other by badging. Mechanically, however, the Wimbrel is still a Homura, with their modest but reliable flat 4 engines powering the front wheels.

And now, for something completely different. In collaboration with @MagikarpDrowned - The Walt 319 WB. Provided with a barebones advert - Magikarp is busy, and my GPU is not going to allow me to make a high-quality advert.
Looking out the window, our intrepid heroes see a car being advertised in a rather different matter.
The owner has mounted a rather crude sticker and some templated lettering on the rear window, letting everyone know how much the car costs, and how to buy it. Certainly not the most impressive or efficient way to advertise, but the car looks old, cheap and spacious - perfect for their needs. A quick google search reveals that the car is perfectly fine - decently reliable, fuel economy below 10 L/100km, five seats and such. The car uses a “powerful enough” naturally aspirated, 4-cylinder 2.1L engine, mated with a 5-speed manual transmission. While it lacks any sort of roof rack, the wagon body provides ample internal storage. If the team runs the numbers, it will only cost them 1600 to buy fuel and service the car, leaving plenty of money spare.

ROLLAND STRIKE 1.6WX
The Rolland Strike was one of the many nameplates that were thrown at the wall as an attempt to compete with other compact sedans, wagons, and coupes of the nineties.
Unlike its predecessors, the nameplate lasted for more than one generation, and is still used today to describe the best America has to offer in terms of cheap, practical, and reliable transportation for anyone. Also unlike its predecessors, it was offered in Europe, and could be had in a spec such as this 1.6WX trim, with a 1.6L engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The oodles of wagon space in the back is an added bonus.
Now you can pick them up for as little as $1,900.
