$40Kish

Carvana has a bunch of used ones

There is something just off about this one. Sad as I thought it might be a contender, but my brain says wrong when I see one.

@rick81721 @GSTim
The yellow one specifically. Limited edition. 600 in America. Therefore the dealer markup.

$70K for a car that does 5.3 sec 0-60? 🤪

They couldn’t sell the 2008/2009 s2000 CR. They were sold for under sticker mainly because of the financial crisis. They go for $60k easy now. This is similar case. It’s the last of its kind. 11th civic is one bland MFer.

Pretty good for #43. I don’t see a car cheaper than this (assuming Msrp) in the top 50

$70k for an ugly fwd car? For that money you're better off getting an RS3, a C7 vette, used 718, etc. That is when the world gets half-way back to normal.

I used to live a couple of blocks from 11’8”. nearly drove a U-Haul thru there during college.

I don’t think it will for a while for a 2-3 more years. And it won’t be back to normal. We are going to fall somewhere in between. The pandemic ignited frivolous pleasure spending. I think more people see the value of spending some money rather than saving every last penny which is useless when you are 6 feet under.

@one piece crank what about topless?

Waist-down its not bad, but they botched to upper half. I like alot of glass, but maybe they went too gangster on the windows? Also, at 6'4" would I even fit in it?

I agree, it won't go back to the way things were, but fall somewhere in between. I think the chip shortage will ensure short supply and high prices for another 2 years. I fully intend to spend frivolously on a car, but north of $70k it won't be on an atrocity like that. Once you start pushing $100k it needs to look good, be fast, and not be front wheel drive.
