Currently looking for a blue on black 17-18 GTR. First one I see under 100k, the M4 is gone.

And I'd still have some left over for a cheap E46 M3 build

I love the Q8. It's a little underpowered, but the SQ8 would be on my short list for sure. Also kind of lame you have to go prestige and then add a package on top of that to get the comfort seat. I don't love it as much at $85k

I see you have great taste


Can't go wrong with one of those.... I'm on my third one in last 16 years.

Always made money selling them after driving them for several years.

Been contemplating selling my current one lately and saving for gt4

Man, I've been checking out what exactly $100k can get me after starting this thread and was surprised to see how many nice cars are in that range these days....

This is just one of many F430's under $100k right now



2009 with 30K $96K



2010 V10 r8 $77k


Super clean 2007 gt3 $79k


Can't wait to hit that $550M power ball tonight

A good 430 will run you around $110K for an earlier model and about $140K for a slightly newer one.
What's the old saying?

Anybody can afford to buy a Ferrari, but not too many people can afford to drive them


Although The modern f-cars are actually pretty durable these days....but yes they can cost an arm and a leg if shit goes south.

I'm quite surprised how many f430's are now in the sub $100's...there are quite a few nice looking examples on Autotrader right now

Just to be boring, I'm lusting for a 4-door, manual, E90 M3 Sedan with a Harrop supercharger.

It's been 3 years of ownership of the 135i, and it's great fun to throw around, it's fast as buggery, and I love the styling of BMW's smallest convertible... but to be honest - it just isn't a "real M", and I'm really over putting the kids in the back of a 2-door car (even if I can 'just' lift them over into the back with the roof off... it'd be much easier to have some proper back seats with proper back doors).

... and while I love the "whooosh pssssst' sound of big aftermarket turbos... there ain't nothing like the rumble of a proper V8 exhaust.

The only problem is I'm in waay too deep to ever sell this 135i; and am no longer in a financial position to get a well sorted M3.

Two kids and I do the daily school run in the 135i - 3 years old and 6 years old.

They love the car as much as I do but 2 door cars with 2 kids is still a pain - you're always putting the seat forward and contorting yourself to lean in and do up the seatbelts (or lifting them over the back with the roof off).

It's not a massive pain, but the car was in the shop for a couple of weeks earlier this month and I had a 4 door hire car and it was amazing how much easier the get in/get out procedure is.

On second thought, if I have to have one under 100K, it's either an Acura NSX, or E46 M3 CSL, or a Mazda RX7. I think 911 is too played out. The R8 was not that good until lately - the old R8 was just a glorified poor man mid engine supercar. Any Ferrari below 100K probably not worth it. The F430 still uses single clutch. Not until the 458 that the dual clutch was used. James May once said the F430 to 458 was like when ape became man :-)

After years of playing power ball, it's more a fantasy lols.

I’d sit on $100k and wait for the midengined C8 Corvette to come out and pick one up with the most aggressive aero and brake package available. Then slap on some Penske dampers, add all the safety gear you could ever need, and get a set of wheels and tires for every occasion - track, AutoX, street, and winter. That’s perfect. It’ll run every day in any condition, get great mileage while doing so, and beat the bejesus out of anything that costs less than twice as much.

Make sure the chassis can handle the leaf spring rate lols. Let's hope GM can keep it under 100K and get it out the door before my hair turns gray.

I heard it’s gonna be in the $120K on up range and that’s the low estimate

Some say $170

Although Hagerty says $70k ???

They have some nice pics of it on their site... looks sick!!!

Can’t wait to see it
