Dude -- any E55 owner should just spring for the real thing -- Caterham Super Sevens are amazing cars. Though this is more expensive -- by far -- than $10K they hold their value much better than the replicas. Also, Caterham makes a superior product, with continuous engineering improvements. I owned one of these and always regretted selling it...

IF $10K is your spending limit, I suggest checking out the Qualia 006 -- a 70" state-of-the-art RPTV -- for that crucial viewing of the Speed Channel...

No longer car shopping...

Try this ...
It is a VERY low mileage '02 Mustang GT convertable which can be mod'd out the ying-yang and you may be able to pick it up for between $10K and $12K. If you wanted to "flip it" right away, you could sell it fo a local guy for $16K or drive it for a year, play with it, mod it and then sell it for more than what you have in it.

You just posted that you are selling your car because of another financial opportunity, but now you have a spare $10k for a new toy? I vote for you to keep the E55 and use the $10k for your other financial opportunity.

Hey Mike,

You ever think about an Ariel. Fun little toy.....

There are some older ones running around 20K.

Man, that sounds like a blast to drive.

This is too funny. We are looking at the Qualia right now. Jim just keeps saying I WANT that tv and our friends just keep asking "can't you control that man".

It is an AMAZING picture.

LadyWolf -- you will NOT regret getting the Qualia 006. My wife absolutely LOVES this set. "Six Feet Under", "Desperate Housewives", and "House" are just not the same on another set; as a result our "other" TV is rarely used. If I could only get my beloved Formula One in HighDef I could die a happy man...
