Corrado … at least the G60 that i used to have … was VERY cheap to maintain … well in the domestic range … 3000gt … well thats a DSM it speaks for itself
How about looking for a Merkur XR4Ti
Heres a good start … [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Makes-XR4TI-MERKUR-TURBO-XR4TI-1985-48-000-MILES-PARTS-CAR\_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6472QQihZ012QQitemZ220053672347QQrdZ1](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Makes-XR4TI-MERKUR-TURBO-XR4TI-1985-48-000-MILES-PARTS-CAR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6472QQihZ012QQitemZ220053672347QQrdZ1)

For some reason i like the integra most on that list.
But it all depends on what u want to spend.
There is this volvo I am eyeing thats silly cheap but has a ton of miles but looks show room new. I have no idea why I like it but it tempts me daily.

1. integra - everyone has one, good motor, good suspension
2 prelude - less of the above
3.del sol - the more flamboyant civic
4.corrado - unreliable vw
5.3000gt - unreliable mitsubishi

Corrado parts can be very expensive these days, especially any parts specific to Corrados (ie: not shared with mk2’s)
A Merkur? Getting parts for those makes finding a needle in a haystack easy.

rare parts dont come across as a problem until your car is broken and possibly undriveable and you need to find them.

my friend’s room mate at school has a corrado and he recently restored it from the ground up, and he spent a crazy amount of money on it and it took him almost 2 years to find all the parts and everything he needed.
