First production Pontiac Aztek hits eBay

The Pontiac Aztek may be the most hated American car in the history of American cars, which is really saying something.

But lately, it's begun to acquire the kind of appeal that has made other oddballs -- such as the AMC Pacer and Ford Pinto -- beloved collectibles among a certain segment of the car community. Hell, we were just cruising eBay for Azteks the other day. This classic eBay ad had us feeling nostalgic.

When we found this eBay listing for the first production Aztek on Reddit this morning, we were pretty geeked. It's in fantastic condition, it's got fewer than 8,000 miles on it and it was sold by Barrett-Jackson in 2009 so you know it's legit. Back then, the gavel fell at $15,950. As of this writing, the bidding is at $14,100. Are you heading to eBay right now to bid on this “future collectible”?
