I'm with you on this. I have a deep desire to own a CTS-V wagon :megusta:
The idea of a Corvette Cadillac wagon is just awesome to me.

But they definitely aren't under $50k CDN, seem to be floating around $55-60k USD. But put aside some cash for fuel, apparently they are horrendous on gas.

i saw one listed on autotrader for $54k in alberta (unfortunately it was automatic, private sale), but the ad only stayed up for a few hours... i'm assuming it sold.

not to tread on the misfortune of others, but i hope that the economic meltdown in alberta will bring out more fire sales on the used car market if you don't mind out of province deals.

not sure on the price or if it is a good year but...

FS: 2009 Porsche Cayman S PDK - Local BC car - $38900 (vancouver)

That price if brand new and brand new only, I'd go for a M235i. JB4 tune, good coils and tires.

Used I'd go for a Cayman S in manual, PDK is nice but just not as engaging.

How does every thread turn into a discussion on Porsche, lol.

because we are in the golden age of Porsche right now... everything they make... are... more engaging than the competition at least lol...

still overprice as fu.... but they are great cars no doubt....

oh... 997.2 GT3 RS.... WOOT, will even settle for a 996 GT3... lol

If you did not know by now, porsche is the best

No Reserve: 49K-Mile 2001 Acura Integra Type R | Bring a Trailer

Well under 50k

1st gen C63 for me :megusta:

E30/36/46/90 m3, type r, nsx, mk1 gti, any air cooled, 944 s2, 968..... There are so many more.
As for new cars? 228i is getting reviews as the best enthusiast BMW out there, even over the m2 in many aspects.

As I already have a regular DD I'd get a 2016 Miata GT and spend the leftover money on coils ($1500), wheels/tires ($2K) and a tune ($600). With a dealer discount, that'd get me in right at $50K. My used choice would a Boxster/Cayman for $40K.

If I didn't have a DD and needed a DD then I'd get a GTI with the Performance Package and call it a day. Used, I'd get a CTS-V or S4.

the problem with BRZ's and Miatas are that you actually have to be seen driving them

lolol.... I think BMW drivers and mature GTR owners have it worse when it comes to stereotypes.....

back on topic, since I see alot of people are starting to get into used euros (used S4), back in the highschool days, right after the S2k, the car to get was the E39 M5, E46 M3 manual coupe, that manual E60 M5 (high revving V10 with horseshit gas mileage - YES PLEASE) .... I guess nowadays E90/92 M3 falls under 50K too. Yes, I am a BMW fanboy lol....

The trouble is finding a manual version with good records at the right price in the right color/options that you want it?

lol.... Thank you for starting this thread... always loved to dream about what happens when a sudden dump of cash comes out of no where lolol

I don't know about you guys, but when I think about a drivers car, i'm basically thinking how close can I get to a go kart?

With that, it means any sports car from the year 2000 and earlier. Direct steering, mechanical linkage to the throttle. Small light and nimble.... But that's just me.

Say no more.

something like my 2007 car? :lol

E60 M5 is a hard one to beat...

I said any sports car under the year 2000... Doesn't mean there can't be newer ones too.. Lotus, Ariel, S2000... the list goes on.

It's just that most vehicles lost these attributes post 2000 unless they are driver oriented cars like yours.

Reasoning behind these claims?

Feels the most light and nimble whereas the 235i and M2 feel overpowered and not true to the heritage of the original small M's.

The BMW 228i Is The Best Enthusiast Bimmer You Can Buy

The feeling is not universal though - some reviews say it's ain't so great, some love it (R&T had it beating a M2, 1M, and a 235i in a recent review)

this may not be 50k, but damn I would drive one of these!
