Exotic cars you can afford....

[Just Jack]

Personally, I'd like to have the Lotus...

Well, there's this little beauty that'll only set you back $75Large. Of course, you have to supply the chassis and motor..

The Ariel Atom can be had for around $69k or less. Would be pretty sweet. But only of you like going extremely fast and extremely maneuverable.

 

If you want looks or class, I can't say I wouldn't want that Ferrari 308. Maybe be able to get a Testarossa cheap too.

 

That Lotus is an amazing car. Incredibly fast and agile. Looks really sweet too. But in fairness, depending on the sticker price there may be better options IMO.

I would love one of these ....

Hopefully I win the lottery soon.

I'd like the Bentley. I can afford the car but not the gas it requires. Probably eats gas like a hummer.

For realistic priced cars that would be cheap almost super cars, you cant go wrong with a lotus elise. Super sexy, very light and agile with enough speed for a reasonable price. If I had the money I would get a Nissan skyline.

Bah. Foreign junk. If I was going to spend that kind of money on a car it would look and sound like this- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYhJjCxHWTk

my father had a Boss Mustang. Mom wrapped it around a light pole learning stick.

 

I had a 99 convertible myself. Loved that car.

 

In fairness to the OP, the cars in the video you just posted are much more expensive than the OPs link. He did day reasonably inexpensive. A Boss Mustang or a Shelby are out of that range. But I agree with you, a GT500 would be very high on my bucket list of cars.

True, for a original. But I could build a clone easy for $30,000. Donor plain Jane mustang + crate motor. Edited May 26, 2013 by Jim in Anchorage

I understand that. But just thought we were talking about cars that were driving ready. No building needed. If you build that car, your spending countless hours rebuilding it. Which is sort of the point, I get that. But if we're talking about already built, were talking a lot more money. Especially an original.

No it's not for everyone. But it's what I would do, starting here-

I've seen Maserati Spyders with less than 30k miles going in the mid-20s. That's an incredible deal if someone wants a true exotic that really performs.

[Juror#8]

1991-1996 NSX.

 

Aluminum chassis. 8,000 RPM redline. And you won't find another exotic that will get you 150,000+ miles.

 

Would love to add one to my stable next to the Shelby but that's a few years off.

these things still got for a ton don't they?

 

 

what is that thing?

[San Jose Bills Fan]

what is that thing?

 

It's not affordable but I couldn't resist.

 

It's a Maybach (Daimler's soon-to-be-defunct luxury brand) but it's literally one of a kind.

The range is about $20-60K.

Winston Wolf drove one didn't he?

yes, the Wolf drive one.

It's every bit of exotic and if you have cash and play your cards right, you can have one with about 75,000 miles for $20,000-$25,000.

 

75,000 on a Honda engine (especially an early 90s Honda engine), is just breaking it in.

i looked at the link SJBF provided. Yeah, you can get one with less than 100k miles for the 20-30k range. Awesome.

 

I would guess a Toyota Supra could be had for similar prices as well a d Supras are insane.

I would love one of these ....

I love Jag's and have owned a few (XJ and S-Type) over the years. This one is getting back to where they should be. But they have lost all their style the last few years IMHO.
