Cars that can actually be had for <$35k.

Hmm, without looking at for sale ads

Caterham 7
'78 or '79 930
993
'60s Lotus Elan or maybe an early 911 S if they can still be had in decent shape for <$35k

I couldn't find any Espadas for sale right now but I have seen them range from $20000 - $40000 depending on condition.

996 turbos?

About the 911. Never thought on my happiest day you'd ought to find one of those jewels for that price !
High mileage-yes..
I'm in west Canada. Prices are absurd here for even a skateboard with SKF bearings.
I did NOT realize, nor would I believe the contrast in prices on a vehicle.-be it south a few 100 kilometers over the boarder.
Wrong.

how about a $5000 miata and $30K for tires and spec miatafying it

There is a track prepped 914-6 clone in the back of Grassroots Motorsports for $18500, includes trailer as I recall. How about that, a few grand to freshen it up and the rest for tires

I think you can see where I am going with this.

Yes I still miss my '99 Miata but would settle for Miata/MX5 NC this time.
2. Caterham 7
3. As much Porsche as I could get for $35K - another Boxster but newer.
4. A 993.
Good topic Mike. I can always dream!And no wonder there is active importation of cars from the US. There are so many good cars to choose from and less rust.
