What would you buy for $15k~. I want to buy a (newer, i know i already have one, Del Sol)covertable sports car. I was thinking of the following

S2000  
Pontiac Solstice CXP  
Saturn Sky Redline  
Mustang Cobra

what else or out of those what would you get and why?

Any plans on modding this or you want a fun DD with nothing more than intake/exhaust if that?

Unless you get an older Cobra you’re going to need more than 15k. I wouldn’t get a Cobra unless it was an '03-'04 and you’re 5k+ shy to get a good vert. I drove an S2000 for the 1st time in a while on tuesday and I forgot how fun they are. Not sure how much they’re going for used but a 350z vert could also be fun for you.

not going to modd it really, just bolt ons, The GMs make some decent power stock with the turbos they come with, and I know the s2000’s are a blast too.

S2k. The GM would be ok, unless you ever wanted to put anything in the trunk. Oh wait, they don’t have one.

so what are you going to throw in for the extra 3k since you said you would take 12k in your post for it:). If I decide to go with a s2000 i will get a hold of you for sure, your price is real good and it has crazy low miles on it.

GXP or redline. Cobra you’ll come up short and S2k’s you’ll get a lot less for the money in terms of year/mileage. plus they’re torqueless wonders

BMW Z4

Cobra will put all those cars to shame power wise but it is not a good overall car.
