I want a new 1:18 scale model, and you need to help me pick a good one!

Rules:

Must be on ebay or amazon
Must be $150 or lower (a little above is ok)
Must be cool

I'm thinking of the Aston pictured above at the moment.

Go!

Exactly how tight are you on that $150 budget?

CMC Porsche 901 coupé, 1964 Light Ivory 1:18 Scale Sure, that Porsche is $245 (which is $75 off, btw) but it's so cool!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

This Ferrari 360 Modena is almost $200 , but it is hand finished and normally costs $500.

If I'm being stupid here's a nice 599 GTO for a hundred bucks.

This is the one that got my addiction started. Jordan 197 with the Bitten and Hisses paint. I love the fangs and tongue running down the side. I'm at about 25 cars now. My prize is an Audi R8 Le Mans car signed by most of the team drivers.

Koenigsegg . A little over, but a pretty decent price for one of these.

There are a couple of these at different prices so you should be able to find one under $150.

Can you really deny a winning LeMans prototype powered by a 3.5L 12,500 RPM F1-derived V10? I didn't think so.

Aston Martins are so pedestrian. I just bought this '55 T-bird to go along with the red '57 Corvette my grandfather recently gave me.

If you like the old DTM, how about a BMW M3 E30 DTM Plain Body:

I like that! I am building a collection and I've decided to go with plainbody versions of racecars unless the liveried car means something to me or it's the only thing I can find, or it's just really cool.

My other rule for my collection is to only get cars that my one model car collecting friend doesn't have. He has a massive collection, which will help prevent me from spending tons of money on model cars, haha.

For example this R390 GT1 will probably make it in to my collection one day. I would love it even more with no logos at all.

Yeah they have a ton of great stuff, unfortunately shipping is astronomical. I think he's in France.

That Martini VW bus would be on my shelf tomorrow if the price was lower.
