2002 Dodge Viper, low KM, 49,000 CDN

I wouldn't. It's a dodge. Enough said. You're not going to turn it in for $1,000,000 one day.

If you want a $50K toy, get an M2. Better investment in the long term.

Unless you truly care about the nostalgia, just spend your hard earned money somewhere else

Really? Put all those numbers into Excel and crank the math over 10 years. Especially since this is a toy and calculate the mileage/maintenance accordingly. No way m2 will hold the value against the Viper. This is no 1M///

I owned a 2000 GTS steel grey with silver stripes 1 of 121 made from 06-08. Bought car with 10,300 out of Texas from car collector sold car with 12,000. Sat in garage most of time as it is so low I could not pull into many places including my parents to park. In the interior it got really hot from exhaust running right next to door and my wife would complain every time about riding in it. So I would drive it myself once a week or so down the interstate and back into the garage. People would stop me ask to take pictures, if they could sit it in, if I could take them for a ride, if I would race their Honda all kinds of stuff. Parts are extremely expensive. Owning one is basically a novelty and it will wear off really fast. If you have a lot of money to own one then buy it but if its something you are going to be tight on bills buying don't waste your money. It could get you into a big mess if you hit something or someone hits you or you do any damage to them. Lot better cars is in the 50k range you can buy and enjoy. I am 38 and have owned around 35 cars and this was just something I wanted back then but wish I would have skipped along with the Porsche 996 platform 911.

Exactly. M2 is a lovely car, but not exactly limited production, which is the bigger point here.
