I think one says, "Las oportunidades de encontrar este coche son muy pocas." I can't recall hearing a colorful expression in Spanish the equal of "slim to none", which is a great phrase in English. Maybe we'll discover one shortly.

I believe the way to say "Slim to none" is "Casi nulas" :] - 0088b3fa, May 23, 2011

Don't you mean to say "The chances are second to none to finding this car"??

The way I'd translate it is:

"Las posibilidades son insuperables a la búsqueda de este coche"

:]

I think he did mean "slim to none", meaning "next to impossible" :) - Jeremias, May 23, 2011
