I find them here and there. The goal is a great deal and a car I will keep a while this time.

A performance sedan was the main focus then I thought about how many times I really have or want more than one passenger with me. Not throwing out a sedan as the purchase.

I have not pulled the trigger for several reasons. The main one is that prices seem to be getting better and better for the buyers. People are dumping their "toys" and I will be patient to get what I want for what I want to pay.

Example...again.

On my way to a gathering yesterday my car took an abrupt turn into this store....
08 Z06 2LZ package. Black/Black. 745 miles------Asking $55,600.
I mean it is crazy. For let's say $53,000 after negotiating how can you beat this? I am not a big Vette guy and have never even driven a Z06. But from what I have read and heard this may need a test drive. It can also hold two normal sized golf bags. Sounds petty but it's not.
Porsche is where my heart is at but my wallet is being more open minded. Basically a car that pulls like a freight train in every gear would be nice. The P cars will hold a better value of course.
