First N/A production car to break the 100HP/L mark.
Several nice S2K's pop up on bring a trailer.
Hoping to trailer, or drive one home soon.
You're right.
I just did a Kijiji search after my post. Lots out there!
$25K nets you a 150K-200K km version though. Still, Honda reliability, right?
I've noticed a rather wide spread, between kijiji and bat, when it comes to mileage.
An additional $5-$10K spent on a bat car, usually means much lower mileage, which I'd prefer......even with the high quality, these jewels are nearing, or over 20yrs old.....
Just need to find one in white.......without a red interior.
They're not my choice. I've driven one and it felt boringly slow unless you kept it high up in the rpm all the time.
Very true. I was smitten with this car for a long time. Until I drove one.
Just didn't do anything for me. My GS-R was more fun.
My '17 Corvette Z06 was the same.
Just perused BaT.
They have motorcycles.
I hate you.
Or rather, my bank account hates you.
That should be easily done in your budget. I have a 98 Camaro rs convertible with a 3.8 that I picked up for 8k southern car always stored inside. Needed intake gaskets and coolant tubes took a weekend in my garage and has been rock solid so far.

Had a 98 SS vert for better than 20 years was a very fun Sunday car the LS engine made the package IMO tho.
Yeah the 6 is a ok cruiser but the 8 would have been more fun but also hard on my license.

I've owned two different Porsches for 20 years. Thinking of selling my present one in the spring. Thing is unless I'm willing to sell it for a deal of a lifetime I'll probably continue to own it and thats ok. Market is bad for toys at present. Buyer would have to have cash on hand to buy. Rates are higher. Mortgage costs have increased.
29000kms over 10 years. Clearly I don't drive it enough. OP is in a good position to pick up something at a good price. My advice would be to raise the amount you'd be willing to spend. You won't regret that a year later.

Which ones?

The newest, lowest mileage Mustang GT…
S2000 is great, but super small and needs to be wound to be any fun. A few friends have them but they’re no fun unless you’re ripping on it.

Agreed. Who wants to drive around at 8500rpm to have any performance. I looked at them when they were new and thats what turned me off. Choose a Boxster instead. The Porsche in 3rd gear at 5500rpm is an absolute blast.
I would disagree look for one that is old enough that values have bottomed and are rising so there is no depreciation. A 4th gen f body should fit that bill. A almost new mustang will depreciate like a rock a fox body no so much.

An old Porsche...comes with heavy maintenance bills IMO. I've never had one...although I want one and would have one in a heartbeat if I could afford it. A Boxster S would make me clean out the garage in an instant.
Fair. I like the new ones, and at 25k...I'd say most of the depreciation hit has already taken place.

I wont argue. I've been lucky. With over 75000kms owning two of them I had to have a AC hose replaced 2 summers ago. $1600. Thats it. 981's are incredibly reliable.
But yes parts are an eye watering price. I know someone that had to replace both headlight assemblies on a MY2000 Boxster. About $2500 each.
Can’t remember who told me this (possibly here).
But a used car that originally cost 100k still has 100k pricing for repairs, even if it now costs 20k.
