V70r, manual, good color combo

The trifecta. And it has up-to-date maintainance records, a knowledgeable seller, and a fair price.

Please don’t sell please don’t sell please don’t sell.

My attainable dream car list goes like this-

Sunburst Miata (OEM+, cleanest example possible)

Subaru Baja (solid color, manual, sti running gear)

FD rx7 (not against the LS swap but I want to at least sample the rotary before taking that step)

NSX (first gen, obviously. Priciest car on the attainable dream car list, but as of right now there are still nice examples in the 30's.)

And above ALL OF THOSE... V70r, manual, good color, good condition. Red over tan isn’t my top choice—lightning blue over orange, or Hyper silver over blue—but it’s still pretty fantastic. Maybe it will still be for sale in a month or two. Fingers crossed. Now that my Rangers and Outback are gone, the Miata has been feeling a bit lonely.

Here’s another Unicorn. One owner, manual, rare color combo, great condition, low miles, etc. I don’t love attacoma flash though... Especially on the sedan. If I decided to keep it longterm, I’d end up repainting it, but that would be like buying a purple M3 and respraying. Sacrilege.

Your list is amazingly similar to mine.

You can’t just say that without posting a top 5 attainable dream cars list. Don’t leave me hanging

Ok on a plane about to go airplane mode so here is a quick attempt

Sunburst Miata

Turbo manual Baja

Early NSX

V60R or S60R

Cayenne GTS (the V8 manual one)

And a bonus 6th - today I saw this:

In this:

Holy mother of want body style transmission and color combination and probably within my budget once I recover from house purchase.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > FTTOHG Has Moved to https://opposite-lock.com 06/04/2018 at 20:08

I kinda of wish I had bought an e91 but they are 2-4 grand more than the sedans. Also I think all US market E91s are 328xi/328 Xdrives. But I could be wrong. I sure couldn’t find a RWD one with a manual

Oh wow. I think we’d get along reaaaaally well.

Hopefully we both get one on the list in the next year or so!

I’m convinced the swedespeed classifieds is the most dangerous place on the planet

How about a black V70r? My friend is sadly thinking about selling his.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the NSX price spectrum, here’s a thing I seent at Exotics@RTC this past Saturday:

Holy crap!

Wow. I’ve seen some mint ones in the 80's but that might take the cake.

Here’s hoping the spread stays pretty wide for awhile longer

I’d probably hold out for a color (or grey/silver, oddly enough). Still very cool. Why is he selling?

There were definitely rear-wheel-drive E91s in the US, but ones with a stick are unobtanium. They go for $25K on BaT every once in a while.

Oddly enough that’d be one of my least-favorite E91 color combos. Also for some reason nobody seemed to spec manuals with any sort of options, like the sport package or xenon headlights.

I don’t know why but I love the combination it is just so odd. And yeah I’ve noticed that a lot of the wagons with the manual don’t seem to have much in the way of options. I’d love one with just the sport seats even but I don’t know if I’ve seen more than one or two ever.

It’s still unsold on Swedespeed! Which realistically is where it will end up selling, most likely.

If it was sonic blue I would have sold my Miata’s suspension and flown out to buy the Volvo immediately

While I don’t necessarily dislike any of those cars, I would just aim higher if you ever come into any money. I mean even a 911 turbo or Ferrari 360 is attainable, just expensive. You’d probably only get one due to the price, but the rest of the cars on your list is approaching a good sum.
