that’s not a bad buy at all. pretty cool, usable, small truck anyways and if you keep it clean that’s going to appreciate for a while. ---

I’m surprised the 3000gt isn’t in last place, my buddy used to sell 20 of those a month in the early 2000s. The SLs were more common than neons. The Supra I feel like the price is a little low. I see a lot of those on ebay in the high 80s, some 125kish. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on the 300. Just put a sub in it, I love driving that thing with the tunes cranked up. ---

My 3kgt SL was a total snooze to drive. Looked great, absolutely disappointing to drive. And fuck FWD. ---

I drove an early VR4 once. It was clearly abused by the previous owner but it just felt like a pig. I don’t know if it was on stock boost or not but I wasn’t a fan which was a surprise because I always wanted one. Once I opened the hood, I’m glad I never got one, they look like a pain to work on. ---

I can confirm its hard to work on. The rear turbo took 3 hours to remove. ---

Yup…and one of the manifolds is welded sheet metal and likes to crack. Also prone to vacuum leaks and snapping output shafts. ☹ ---

I love these old Japanese cars but man all the trouble for 250hp at the wheels XD I popped the hood of the nissan the other day to hook up my battery tender and all I could think is - “this is the most over-engineered 150 WHP i’ve ever seen in my life” I still love her tho ---

Man, there are some things I like about that car but several that I hate. Looks to be a Canadian market car. The displays on the dash are gross. I like his price though 👍 ---

You bought the wrong Japanese car. 😉 You needed an S2000 if you wanted reliability and increasing value. But really, 300’s are awesome. I’ve always been a fan of all the Datsun/Nissan Z cars. Still really want a 240z, 260z, 280z but that wont happen till I start bringing in more money and have a larger garage. haha ---

Right. Imagine if we were all able to know exactly which car to buy and at what point it is at it’s lowest before it skyrockets. ---

the cars that go up in value also cost a fortune to run, if you actually drive them, so they end up being shyte investments anyways… ---

Bought my first S2000 with 33k miles, sold it with 118k and only lost out $3k from what I paid for it. The only things I had to do were replace the soft top on a 17 year old car that sat outside and the rear plastic window finally cracked. Aside from that was a clutch master cylinder and a radiator. (radiator dry rotted on the top) Super happy with the lack of money having to be thrown at this car while taking it to 9,000rpm’s and exiting turns sideways on a regular basis. But I know this is a unique situation. They really built this car solid. I wonder how the new Type R’s reliability will be in 20 years.
