Looking thru and reading that list, the IS-F is really the only one that would make sense to buy. All others will be a maintenance nightmare.

Of course. 08s with high mileage would most definitely be $20-$25k. Pretty decent value still considering it's a 10 year old car! Basically a 3rd of it's value lost in 10 years. Most German vehicles won't be anywhere near a 3rd of it's value after 10 years and high mileage.

Air cooled 911 turbos are $40k now? I think they forgot the 1 before the 4.

Good luck finding any of these cars with reasonable mileage for those prices.... especially the Porsche or NSX.

This List makes no sense doesn't include M3, M5, C63AMG and CTS V all similar power, performance as ISF. You can pick up M3 and CTS-V FOR less 20k now? All the cars I mentioned above are great cars in their own right each with their pros and cons but that goes for any car including our ISF's.
