Keep waiting for a month or two till the banks seize the cars from dealerships as collateral. Would be easier to get good deals on decent cars when the counterparty isn't familiar with the assets and just wants them gone for hard cash. 

A part of me wondering if we can deduce the demographics of car buyers by brand and model to see which of them will be the worst hit by the upcoming recession and thus be most desperate to liquidate their assets.

Who needs auto dealers when Banks and their servicers will own much of the inventory in the coming months anyways? 

If the reader has that $40k in cash at this time, wait a few weeks until many households in America realize they can’t pay their bills with no income and start panic listing every asset they have, could get a lot of car for the money if they time it right.

As somebody living in HK atm, that’s by FAR my main concern coming out of the outbreak. People here are neurotic about these things due to SARS so any outbreak should be fairly controlled.

Dear Ford, sticking a Coyote in the transit connect van would be a good way to make up for removing like, every car in the US lineup. It's a crazy idea but clearly their existing ones ain't working anyway. 

If manufacturers are now putting 400+hp in work vans and 700+hp in performance SUVs, why has nobody even hinted at making performance minivans? They seem likely more practical, lower center of gravity platform than many SUVs, there’s got to be some demand for a 400+ hp minivan which doesn’t feel like an appliance to…

It's already spread much further and wider than other coronaviruses, I don't recall western countries having much, if any SARS cases, and certainly no outbreaks as we're seeing in South Korea, Italy, and much of the EU. 

Looking at the secondary market, 718s are basically already eequivalent to 981s at the $40-70k range. Can't imagine it would be long before a used 4 cyl 718 Cayman becomes a half-decent upgrade to enthusiasts sick of a Miata/BR-Z

Porsche dealers will have a heck of a time convincing people to spring $60k for a new bare-bones 718 Cayman, while there will only be more and more barely used 718 GTS’s already hitting markets at this price point.. 

Even late-model 987s are starting to get up there in age though. Compared to what 981s are going for, a 718 S for ~mid 40s (should be readily achievable in the next year) seems like a fairly reasonable buy. 

Used 2-3 yo 718 S’s are already hitting the marker for a bit above 50k now. Wait 2 years for the flat 6s to circulate and I'd bet decent money on good examples trading for <40k. Which would make them great choices for enthusiasts without 1% incomes. 

You cannot, with a straight face, say that a 718 Cayman S with that turbo-4 is going to hold value “way better” than a Corvette.

If having a V6 (I.E power) in a Toyota s so important, used, low-mileage IS-Fs are plentiful for this type of cash.

“at any given rpm the 4V engine will make more horsepower and torque than the 2V engine.”

I’ve always wondered why GM hasn’t put a few turbos in their LS/LTs given all the tuners who do it seem to get stupid power with good reliability (as much as a Jerry-rigged turbo setup could get) anyways. 

Meanwhile Ford is building manual-only 8000rpm NA V8 mustangs for like 50k and Chevy is busy testing something similar in their mid-engined Corvette. 

Just stick any one of Toyota’s many turbocharged 4-cylinders in this thing and it’d be a blockbuster with auto enthusiasts everywhere...for views and clicks, if not sales.

A new MR sports car from Toyota for 30-35k will have a tough time competing with.... used 718s, those things have had pretty high depreciation for Porsches and now the GTS + GT4 4.0 combos may well push 2017s into this range. 

None, but something like a Radical RXC is darn close to a street-legal LMP car, and would be at least as suitable a daily driver as this bike.
