I’ve started to look into what I want to find when I get back and typically the good deals and nice cars pop up when you are not in immediate need to buy a new car so I was hoping for some help.

I have a small shopping list and if anyone spots one of these cars for sale for a good deal over the next few months please let me know:

Mercedes Benz Cosworth 190e  
2nd Gen MR2 (turbo)  
Integra Type-R (unmolested)  
E36 M3 (sedan or coupe)  
3rd Gen Rx7 (no swaps)  
E30 M3  
Skyline R33 (legal, any trim)

again, i’m not looking for a particular price on any of these and I know I have a huge range in values (especially to the highest trim and best condition). What I am really looking for is a good value for the money whatever the amount is.

When I saw your thread I thought “let’s see what he’s looking for, maybe I can help.” If one of those ever came across one of our stores the employees would be knife fighting over them. 🙂

I will keep my eyes open anyway, those are neat pieces.

Thanks??

Quite a few on my list are extremely easy to find so I’m not sure why that is necessary.

I’m looking for cars that are stock and haven’t been modified.

The sol is just waiting for me to return home and I’ll pick it up right where I left off with it.

I have $35k to spend but I tend to have more fun with $5k cars. So I made a list of some of the '90s cars I want to own at some point in life. Random, yes.

That 3rd gen seems to be a good value, it’s been for sale for awhile so you can probably get it even cheaper.
