Honestly how many miles are you really planning to rack up on whatever you purchase? Seems like you’ve got a small fleet to spread your miles out. And Blackforest is right around the corner for any maintenance needs without getting ripped by the dealer. ---

I put about 500 miles a year on the viper, maybe 500 on the bike, the neon r/t I haven’t auto-x’d in 5 years and that car is the most fun. 500 miles is what I’m looking on avg. ---

I’m honestly so exhausted calling people and looking at cars I feel like I’m forcing it at this point, I’m taking a breather, I check ebay motors once a week and CL every day like when I got the last car. I think BAT is going to be my best option, everything on there is pretty much on clearance compared to everywhere else I look. NSX in 30’s rather than 40+ Elise in 20s rather than 35+ Supra’s in 20s (base model) I don’t want to overpay for something just because I want it bad. This happened when I bought the viper, I just gave up and a few days later I got an email, within 48 hours the car was home. I was super pumped for this (I know it isn’t rare but still awesome and could have worn him down to 10 I bet, even 11.5 isn’t bad). Never returned any emails, couldn’t find a dealership with this (listed under dealer) @ultradriver10000 you have experience with these > **[2002 Yellow C5 Corvette - cars & trucks - by dealer - vehicle...](https://rochester.craigslist.org/ctd/d/victor-2002-yellow-c5-corvette/7118215233.html)** > > 2002 Corvette C5 Coupe LS1 Tremec T56 Manual 6 Speed Z51 suspension Melenium Yellow Power...

That’s what I figured Also for 50k less I’d rather have a gallardo though it inspires confidence in how long these can last. ---

If you are only putting 500 miles a year, why not look into something like a clean Datsun 240z or some classic sports car? If clean, it could potentially go up in value for you while being fun. ---

If I was gonna do a Z car I would get a 300zx, non turbo preferably for maintenance/reliability reasons, with removable tops. @Onyx_Z32 would know, but if a 300zx TT is anything like a VR4 no way, I’d take the non-turbo all day long. ---

I did, he sold it to his mechanic (that is who is listing it). I think I bought $1000 worth\* of tires for that car to auto-x it 5-6 times. \*probably closer to $500 my cost, so kinda worth it, like $85 per event to “rent” it. ---

Nah the turbo isn’t bad @ubengineering . I’ve had both NA and Turbo and can say the Turbo isn’t much more work if any. A 60k timing belt change is exactly the same in-depth process. The problem now is finding clean cars in any form. Lots have been ruined over the years. ---

That is in really nice shape, and I haven’t checked prices in a while but that’s low mileage and it sounds about right. Drivers seat looks like it has some water staining on it, but could be something else. His rear wheels are on backwards. He probably rotated them and didn’t realize the wheels themselves are directional. I can’t see any of the obvious repainted areas where they fuck up after doing body work.

Yeah I’m game. NAs are NOT fast though FYI. Mine back in the day only ran high 14s in the 1/4 mile and it was automatic. Ask if he’s done the 60k maintenance yet. He most likely has NOT done it seeing as it’s only at 65k right now. It’s about $1,200 with parts & labor last I checked.
