I don’t believe there was an amg version.

No just the "Sport" which came with the AMG Monoblocks. These are extremely nice cars and you can get them for notta lotta right now. I would be tempted to get the V12

Same thought. V12 seems like the way to go... but overwhelmingly rare

Prime example and priced accordingly.

I don't think those will go up unless you have the AMG. However the Generation before that I think has already started the creep for clean V8 examples.

You're right I had my SL generations mixed up. The '97-'02 is a good one to grab.

Better price

Better price

At 30k I’m expecting original owner and a 3” stack of maintenance records from the local dealership, with Zillspec maintenance at full retail.

Speaking of merc, how’s the daughters sled holding up?

I helped my buddy buy a 2016 e350 with 80k miles he has since put, 45k miles on it (2 years). No issues at all and I did his spark plugs.... which wasn’t super hard the other day as well air and cabin filters. $1700 service for $80

I presume you’re kidding because there is a fucking bottle of NAWS sitting in the trunk. “Professionally installed” naturally

Wonder how “horrible” F355s are to own

That is cool.

What is the goal here? Actually making money? Having a fun car? Something unique to be seen in?

Having something cool, that won’t lose money and is fun and unique.

F355s have similar service costs to the F50 and Enzo. Everything is an engine out service basically. '94 348 is the mid 90s mid engine F car to own. The 550 is also very friendly service wise. You'll here it called the Camaro of Ferraris because it's easy to own. Relative to other comparable cars.

Fucking beautiful

I like the Prowler a lot if it's just sort of for neat cruising. They're not a ton of money, shouldn't lose much, and you never see them. It offers top down driving which is fun for both you and the woman. It's just not going to be an amazing to drive thing like a 911.

I think the prowler won't go down, but I don't see it going up either. They're always available, they all have low miles, and besides color there's nothing that makes any of them special. Also parts cost is not just normal Chrysler stuff.

They seem to say the “belt” service is around 9k and happens every 3 years. Seems ok if the car is appreciating over that amount to me.

Other than that and the brass valve guides they seem relatively Solid. Gonna look into 550 also

Yea ...550s are well over 100k 140-180k based on my search. Great cars but a bit too

Also one thing to note would be a good thing if the car is also relatively easy to work on. Hence the pre 2010 or so preference. Everything after that seems to be an electronics nightmare.

Viper GTs is also a good one. But something about it is a bit too bruteish

3 for sale Within 500 miles from 80-120k but all have automatic transmission of sorts.
I don’t mean to be rude, but man 612s are fugly from the front.

Older GT3s count.

Ferrari! More than you can afford, pal.

Max whatever you decide buy the nicest one you can. Pay more up front and cry once, versus paying less up front and crying every time you need to dump more money into it.
