10 recommended used vehicles – and I like them all!
« on: August 09, 2013, 01:13:13 pm »
Here's a link to a good article recommending 10 used vehicles that you should own. I've posted the link because it seems the article was written for me – If I had a ten-hole garage and had to fill it with 10 used vehicles, this combination would be nearly perfect. Imagine having the keys to all of these...

1991 Acura NSX
1988 BMW M5
2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
2005 Honda S2000
2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
1997 Land Rover Defender 90
1992-1994 Mercedes-Benz 500E/E500
1995 Porsche 911 (993)
2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder
2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/features/10-used-cars-you-should-probably-own.html

I would live happily ever after.

Nice list. I'd take the NSX, M5, S2K, 500E, and 993 but could pass on the others.

Seriously a 2011 Boxster Spyder is supposed to be something that won't depreciate while you own it?

me too..  possibly one of the trucks added as all season driver.  couldn't care which one..  probably raptor though, with 400+ HP.  ;D    or defender as there's nothing to go wrong and won't depreciate.

How can you continue to post negative comments on a car you have never driven? I don't get it. Its like saying you hate ice cream but never tasted any.

The 500E/E500 is rare.  If someone wants the "bargain" version, find a similar vintage E420.  It was almost as quick as the 500, so MB hobbled it with a very tall final drive.  A popular mod is to swap the rear ratio, producing a very quick car at a very low price.

The 993 Porsches are, to me, the most desirable 911s, but the prices for the age are ridiculous.  But, understandable, as desirable cars cost.

I still love the NSX.  Always will.  Another car that can cost a lot for a nice example.

The 1988 BMW M5 is awesome.  Such a shocker back in the day.  So much performance in such an unassuming package.  If I owned one, I'd probably never sell it.

When I look at an expensive vehicle and all I can think of is "meh" or "you want how much for that"......doesn't make me interested.
