Get your ticket to Indy and look at this . No reserve probably go for less then 12K. Kind of rough but something different.

I'll be selling a classic car, and am considering replacing it with a more recent sports car. What I want:
The car would not be driven in the winter. Might occasionally be driven to work, but for the most part would be a fun weekend ride. Maybe a couple thousand miles/year.
- $25K price limit
- manual transmission
- rear wheel drive
- nimble & fast
I've always desired a Porsche 911, and the '99-'04 Carreras fit the bill. What other year/make/model would you suggest?
Thanks.

I, like Gumby, have and love my 2002 BMW Z3. However, may I suggest the 2019 Honda Civic Si Coupe?

Fast, sexy looks, brand new, top rated. Most dealers can't get them but when they do, they are gone quickly. My personal favorite is the Modern Steel Metallic color.
A gray one is virtually unnoticeable on the highway ��
This thread got me thinking about a Z4 M. Thanks DTAIL
If you're not really interested in top down driving, I wouldn't get a Miata.A little more info - I am 6 ft tall. I'm not all that interested in a topless car, but if a screaming deal presented itself, being a convertible probably wouldn't prevent a sale.
Lots of recommendations for the Miata...I shy away from them a bit because of the go-cart comparisons. I'd prefer something a little more substantial.
I personally would be looking for a Corvette. Of course 25k isn't a lot of money but you should be able to get a decent C6 (2005-2013) for that. Of course any older sports car (or any older car for that matter) comes with higher maintenance risks/cost.
Beautiful ride. Drive it and enjoy! Tomorrow is not guaranteed.I love Porsche since I started driving but it was never a priority until recently so I rewarded myself with this 2019 Targa 4GTS before my retirement this July .View attachment 31504
You should be able to get a decent C6 convertible for 25k too. Of course you get what you pay for and buying any used sports car is a bit of a crap shoot. But, I've had my days with flashy sports cars. (they are cop magnets) I prefer something much more comfortable, stealthier and quicker these days.can get a convertible ss camaro for under 25k easily
