> [@Saxon](#): > > what can you pick something like that up for? > > looks nice Depends what you want… One with 70K miles and 6-10 owners you can prolly get for 30/32K if you really look and find someone that needs the money. A one owner with say 15K miles I’d bet can still pull 40K+. Depends on color, year condition etc. The Blue with White always pull top dollar, followed by the rare one year only colors. Thanks all I love it already and I’ve only had it one day! ---

Solid. How does it drive compared to the other cars? I know that it pulls harder but is the handling greater as well? ---

They’re so beautiful on the outside… the inside is cramped and usually full of douchebags. ---

Thanks fellas! While the inside is cramped, it’s purely functional. It’s like you’re sitting in a jet cockpit. It handles reasonably well, but just drives totally different then any of my other cars. I would almost compare it to driving a 911 not in similarity but in difference. Such as there is as much difference in handling style between a corvette, the viper and a 911. It’s honestly going to take me a while to drive it with confidence. ---
