I had two of them. One the odometer stopped working back in 2002 at 110K. I drove it until 2012 putting an average of at least 15K/year on it and it still ran great when I gave it to my best friend. It just needed a new alternator.

With an unlimited mileage warranty for about $3-5K, the net price would be $22-23K. That's a lot of peace of mind and car for that $$. My buddy is flipping out at work he's so in love with it.
I think this is a very unfair statement. You're using the term successful in a very opinionated and subjective way. As for used cars not being something successful people think about, I assure you from personal experience alone that statement is complete hogwash. I work for a very reputable financial institution…
You're probably not following auto blogs that frequently. No offense. Matt is in my opinion one of the realest automotive journalists out there, he's humorous, down to earth and can actually drive his ass off. He doesn't come off as a snob and I think anyone (at least anyone but elitists) can relate to him. Watch…
This is a phenomenal car. . . . there is a MAJOR "but" though. That "but" is the actual reliability and maintenance costs of this beast of a machine. Never before and never again do I personally feel there will be another 4 door road car that was as visceral as the E60 M5. My best friend had one and he parked it my…
Holy smokes you got an insane deal. Where in the hell did you find that gem??
I agree with you 100%. Those same people say the Countach was charming?? How exactly?? It had poor everything with an exception of styling. Hell, you couldn't really open the window much. The current Lamborghini is in a much better position than the 80's and 90's Lamborghini.
I, like you, hated it when I first saw it in pictures. After visiting MB in Greenwich, CT last week however, I can honestly say that it looks great in person. I prefer the older design where it was integrated into a double hump like the E60/E90 5/3 series. That looked great to me. It does look modern however and…
I am bowing at my desk my friend. Hats off to your very educated and informed reply. This is what Jalopniks are all about!
S2000's are holding their values extremely well. While a lot of purists would consider this a travesty, it was well done with lots of attention to execution. If the mileage is low and the hood is installed tastefully, I'd say it's worth the asking price. The mods are actually well done, it has full AP2 (second gen…
I wonder if Luca will drive future Ferrari models. I also agree with Doug Demuro, since 90's the amount of people that can afford Ferraris, I feel has not only doubled, but more than likely tripled or even quadrupled. They could easily increase production by 30-40%, meet the demand and still remain just as relevant,…
The E60 M5. . . . it respectfully disagrees :) That V10 is an F1 derived engine in a mass produced road car. It also sounds like a chainsaw made out of diamonds with a full Meisterschaft exhaust and headers.
Whoa, one of them has 129K miles on it, that's a huge testament to the durability and reliability of that motor. Kudos to the previous owner for actually driving it and not making it a garage queen.
Please tell me where you can get that :)
I saw this yesterday on the S2Ki forums, then I quickly forwarded over to my buddies. 3 out of the 4 of us previously owned S2000's (2 AP2's and 1 AP1). All of our jaws were on the floor when we saw it. I'm still in awe. That thing must be a complete animal of a car. . . and yes it's worth the $27K asking price.
I'm completely dumbfounded as how they could rationalize fitting 275's on this car. It totally limits it.
There are a handful of fellas I know personally that do incredibly fun things with their supercars like take them to airstrip events, similar to Moscow Unlimited and GTBoard. Sadly, the majority of exotic car owners baby their cars and make them garage queens.
