Used Value Trend

Talk about timing- both of us exit the 4BW at the same time

I am looking for something more impractical than the blackwing- Mine sat a lot too especially after wife got the RS3- that was the go to fun family car. So my logic was if I am going to use the blackwing only for true solo fun might as well get something made for that.

Might explore getting a cayman/boxster. If that fails I might wind up in a C8 or C7. If all that fails I am thinking a ND2+ miata.

If you still want to save the manuals, the C8 is out. The C7 is great but honestly I prefer the C6, especially the 6-speed over the 7-speed.. The Miata is great if you like cheap plastic everywhere and no power (but it is a blast to drive). Really you need the Cayman/Boxster, in 6-cylinder form, preferably the GT4 if you can swing it.

If you still want to save the manuals

I may be abandoning that crusade for a while. I think I have done my bit in the last 4 years- 3 manual cars bought and released into the wild.

That car is now for sale in Tampa for $78k with 22k miles, as a "one owner" car.

that's my car. I got $78k for it back in late June. Garage queen, 11,000 miles in 2 years.... someone bought it and double that in 4-5 months. They added the rear wing and badges (I had it fully debadged and they put the trunk one in the wrong position). Great car for me - not a single issue. But it's hard to tell how hard these last 11,000 miles have been.

If it's still a "one-owner" I wonder if a manager is using it?

Things to note: Side badges are also too high. Aftermarket spoiler (I think it's the same one I have actually - $300-ish). And the tires, at least on the Front, are new Pilot Sport-All Seasons instead of PS4S.

Dealers are famous (infamous?) for not accurately listing cars. I wonder how many people see that "one owner" flag and never bother to look at the CarFax? I'll bet it's a lot.

And then when they go to sue 6 months later, the web page is long since gone and they can't prove it ever happened.
