What about that Weismann...whatever it was? Top Gear has a circle jerk around it every so often.

Does an NSX T-top count as a convertible?

It actually does, don;t know if my size 12's would fit in the foot well. I really liked my S2000 and the NSX to me is just the bigger brother. Wold have room to get a 02+ with a blower and good wheels and plenty left over. Not sure what the new ones will do to the price.
I WANT a Morgan but solid 100K for a good one with 50 state papers.

I can only hope that the depreciation hits this as much as it did the quattroporte. That is a gorgeous car. Its a better looking ferrari california, right?Giant Purple Snorklewacker wrote:
I LOVE this car, almost perfect in a automatic, drop dead love it. But they are not depreciated out yet. If they follow the 4 door model they have a long long way to go and I don;t want to take a 20-30K hit on a car in a year.
If I could get traction control for the Viper my wife might let me get another one. Going to test drive a GTC at ~95K this weekend see if I like it.
Other than the convertible requirement, the SL63AMG black would be spectacular.
Regardless of it's jumpiness, I'd rock a 360....I think they're better looking than the little brothers. Problem is even getting close to using the potential on the street. Which is one of the reasons I drive an MG. The other is that I am relatively poor. And if I had 90k to spend on a car, I'd be too chicken.

Thoughts, even though he wants close to 90 for it and I think its worth maybe 75 in today market in that color and condition.

There are barley any running Spykers in existence. The very few that I have seen have had fewer then 2K miles due to build problems.

Update.
I drove this yesterday,
(Stock Photo, but the right color and wheels)
The power, the overwhelming power. Drop dead excellent car, I can completely see how someone could easily fall in love with it. The coupe has a completely different feel then the convertible though. Less fun, much more serious.
So you even look at the Go pedal and the car just responds. No lag, no hicups, just raw power. Actually reminds me of my viper of all things. Unfortunately big power does not make it fun to drive, plus the doors are really hard to close and after driving the convertible version kind of a letdown. Its a bruiser of a car, and if I was making the SD/Las Vegas run every other week it would be a blast. Still not for me, did not feel, well fun to drive like the vert version does.
Still not finding good vert's in my price range so it definitely out of the running unless I come across a huge deal. I know I can GT's now in the low 60's with lower mileage and decent colors though. Spurs as well, which I actually prefer to the coupe but below the vert.
They also had a 6spd Gallardo coupe which is in my price range but did not have time to drive it. Other then the seats are just as bad as I remember them being.

Honestly, a NSX doesn't have the "pedigree", but it doesn't matter, it still turns heads and they are definitely done depreciating IMO. Like you said, you can get a last year model, add whatever you want to it, drive it (they are dead reliable, handle amazing, and supercharged make decent power), and then sell it for a profit if you find the right one. I would want to turbocharge it, but that may affect resale negatively.
I actually see fewer NSX's on the road than Ferrari's, hell, it's -15*C here today and I saw an Aston cruising around.

How about a Ferarri 360? I know it is a little older than your 2-4 window....They go all day long sub $90.
