911 or Cayman with a good history. I have a '99 996 that's never had the IMS done. When I bought it, I had the oil pan pulled. No debris was found, nor in the oil or filter when they've been changed since then. There are a few other known issues like the variocam. But once dealt with, then it's a very reliable car.

[QUOTE=RFC;2581667]The Phoenix area is a Mecca for older, well maintained German sports cars and they depreciate like rocks in a lake. There are many great deals available. I have bought 5 90's Mercedes and never paid more than $6k. My sons are now driving 2 of them. Newer ones can be had for $10-20k. The key is to have a good indie mechanic. I do.

It's my Miami Vice car.[QUOTE=RFC;2581667] Beautiful black on black-brave man in AZ Seriously, I've been shy about AZ cars due to the 90's plastics-ie the courtesy light thingy-that seem not up to uv abuse. Still deals out there-bought a 98 sl600 in triple black with a pano for a buddy of mine last month in Tampa. 5k. Interior perfect, needs top hydraulics and a fender dent repaired. He has a body shop, so no problem for him. Likely a 15k car after 3k in work, and it has not just a pano but a one year only leather airbag cover. Last edited by glepore; 08-18-2019 at 02:43 PM. |

Calling a Miata a grand tourer is a bit like calling a Schwinn Sting Ray a randonneur bike.

If he really want a true GT (Grand Touring) car then he is talking about a Lux Coupe. Have him look into Mercedes CL cars they are true GT cars. .

While there are many nice to consider, if you're looking for touring, convertible, and good reliability, Lexus SC430. Certainly not the fastest, nor most agile, but fast enough, a great highway cruiser, and bullet proof on the reliability part.
