Very interesting watch, I didn’t realize E9X M3’s could be had for under 40, hell even under 50. ---

you can get some REALLY nice M3’s that are still unde warranty for mid 40’s right now and for that price they are a great buy with low mileage. ---

it was kind of funny, with 911s they basically say buy the oldest one you can afford. they had a whole video about them recently: [https://youtu.be/ZJrP9irrLZk](https://youtu.be/ZJrP9irrLZk) ---

Kinda relevant, saw an 09 CL63 AMG for $46k… sticker was $140k+… Well most Mercs are like that. ---

I miss my 1971 911. ☹ It had the red Carrera decal and red wheels. I was this close to buying a 993 turbo, I need to get one before they get crazy expensive. Watching that vid really made me want to take my car out TODAY! ---

I think of all the cars on the list, for me the z06 is the most tempting. Im not really a corvette guy though, so I would have to get over that whole image. I dont know how prone the LS7 is to engine failure but I have witnessed a few guys blow them at the track. I would want to track it so that might be a problem. I like the E90 M3 too, but they seem underpowered and overweight and seriously lacking in torque when you compare it to the z06. Still a nicer all around car that the z06. Definitely enjoyed the vid! ---

I respect vettes but I could never sign on the dotted line, there are just too many other tasty rides out there. ---

The c6 Z06’s blow up alot. I always thought it was bulletproof, but after being the the forums it’s a very different story. But a set of heads ($2-3K) can take care of that issue. Also some revised oiling components from the newer models was common too. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/70-000-cars-you-can-buy-for-half-price-after-drive/268301.md?page=2)
