Good Chemistry: 9 Used Cars that May Resonate with ‘Breaking Bad’ Fans
With millions of viewers tuning in to AMC’s “Breaking Bad” each week — 4.77 million for the Aug. 18 episode, according to Nielsen — there’s a chance that a used-car shopper on your lot is a fan of the show and can easily spot the Pontiac Aztek that Walter White steers through the streets of Albuquerque or the “LWYRUP” Cadillac DeVille Saul Goodman drives.
AutoTrader.com had some fun with the hit series and the “outsized role” played by some rather unique used cars. In a recent post to the site, AutoTrader quipped about the “Cool Used Cars Found on Breaking Bad,” sharing tidbits about everything from Jesse’s Toyota Tercel to Walt Jr.’s Dodge Challenger.
“If you're a fan of AMC's smash hit ‘Breaking Bad,’ you've probably noticed that cars play an outsized role in the show. Being car nuts, we've found ourselves taking notes while watching, and that's where we got the idea for this top list,” wrote Josh Sadlier, who authored the piece.
“But it's not just about trivia. What's cool about AutoTrader.com is that you can search our classifieds for these cars and even buy them, if you're so inclined. So as you're scrolling through our nine faves, keep in mind that AutoTrader's nationwide Car Finder is just a click away.”
