Best 'bang for buck' car?

[kurosh]

I want to pay under 20k. It *must* look sexy. I love the way old stingray corvettes look but they are not reliable. It must be reliable. I want it to last for a while or be able to sell it for a decent amount of it's original price. Must be manual. Being extremely fast is a plus.

Any help?

2000-2002 honda s2000 should do the trick.

Agreed...my dad had one when I was in HS and sold it after much begging by me to keep it and let me drive it. Then a month later my dad "Man that was a great car, whyd I sell it...I should have given it to you!"

I was suicidal for weeks.

I mean yah we got a 911 instead of it but I liked the s2k better. Its that great a car. SOooo much fun to drive.

That looks very nice. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

What about the BMW Z3?

[JMP300z]

Z3 is gross.
M3 now thats a car.
And no im not kidding, i liked the S2k better than our brand new porsche 911 cab, dark silver with grey top and sweet wheels and body kit. The porsche just is fast...the s2k feels fast.

I know nothing about cars outside of Gran Turismo 3, but I suggest a used Mitsubishi Eclipse of a year suitable to fit into your <$20k price range. My next car is going to be a circa 2001 Subaru WRX. I also love honda S2000's based upon my GT3 experience.

Eclipses are garbage mechanically.

If you can find a used 300zx 92-96 in decent shape with not too many miles on em its a great car. Ive been driving mine for 6 years (50k->100k) and never had a single mechanical problem with it...plus it looks sweet. The TT model is much faster but can have mechanical problems once you get the mileage up there...the N/A will last but looks/feels faster than it actually is. You can pick one up easily for under 20k. Just beware someone selling you a bad car.
