I'd rather trade sportiness for reliablity/comfort of a Jaguar XK, or trade luxury for the sportiness of a Honda S2000.

Wife always commented and likes Jaguar's of the same era.... I get the Ford era thing and do feel a bit of confidence. The S2000 are neat, driven one many years ago. I'm past that.
Looking at something like these budget Spyders -out of the ordinary. Just hope it wouldn't sting too bad should something go awry. I see the used motors / long block bring approx. $6,000. I'm going to see a local dealer and maybe get some feedback from the techs.
Wholesale must be a crime. Dealer ACV probably close to $13,500 ?? Though that won't happen.
