    I’ve got a nicely modified TTRS around 500hp. One of the most fun cars I’ve owned/modified.

    110,000km, $42k.

    Based on recent Bring A Trailer sales, you can't even get a 1999 Honda Civic Si-R or an E36 M3 for 50k these days.
    I remember walking away from a 1999 Si-R new because I couldn't stomach paying nearly $30k for what was basically a Civic Si with a B16A and now people are paying $50k USD for used ones? What is the world coming to?

    Toyota builds that OEM too. With full warranty. They call it the Supra.
    That's over 50k though.

    Lets be clear... a museum quality 00' in the ideal electric blue colour, bone stock, with only 5600 miles sold to some rich fart for $50k.

    99.9% of EM1 Civics are selling on local kijiji pages for a couple thousand bucks.

    Shak, what about a used RS5?

    If we expanded your parameters to up to 5 years old, I've seen some that are between $35k and $50k

    I'm surprised at how cheap the one in Calgary is but I don't know much about the RS models.
    That silver one in Calgary does seem like a steal, wow.

    All the car magazines seem to think the CT-R is the best driver's car under $50K. It's a hell of a lot more fun to drive than something like a Q50 Red Sport IMO. Not the fastest car out there and the looks are polarizing but it's just an absolute blast to drive. I don't think I've ever driven a car that put such a smile on my face, but to be fair that could have also been because I was on a track at the time.

    If you're also looking used, then at $50K the options are almost endless and you can definitely get something more premium. I like the TTRS idea.

    I want to want the CTR having been a Type-R fanboy growing up. I think the issue is that it's the car I wanted back then, but that was 20 years ago. It just screams LOOK AT ME with the current design, vs how clean the ITR and CTR were back in the day.

    Yup, the looks are definitely the most polarizing thing about it. Drive one if you haven't - you might find you have so much fun you won't care what it looks like. Also, I think the 2021 variant is getting some toned down bodywork.

    I do wish they made a "sleeper" version though.

    Why can't Honda put out the CTR with an acura badge and not looking like ass?

    I'd think a premium sport compact type care like that would sell?

    2021/22. Rumor CTR mill in an Acura Compact Sedan but badged as Type S.

    I guess I should have prefaced by saying, when I say 'sports cars', I sorta mean a sporty looking car - that is coupe. Doesn't have to be a die hard V8 beast. Accordingly, I would include the Q60 in that category (sport/luxury cars under $50K), however as stated above, it doesn't quite drive as nice. It is a nice looking vehicle though. Another option would be a S5. Perhaps a year or two older. Not your die hard sports car again but as someone mentioned it's that sporty/luxury AWD that can be a solid option.

    Don't know much about Cadillac's - went online and don't see an ATS-V. Have they stopped making those? In fact, there's any coupe on their site anymore.
    ATS-V just ended production so you'd buying used. I've driven @RT16V ATS-V and it's a riot, 6 speed manual, 4 door, that's his in the pic.

    In this review, it even beat the M3 which is a shocker but it bested both the AMG and M3 for 1/4 mile, figure 8, lateral G's, braking and 0-60:

    https://www.motortrend.com/cars/merc...-s-comparison/

    A few for sale on kiji but they didn't make many overall:

    https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/...hud/1452183568
    https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/...s-v/1506479439

    I personally wish they would have stuck an LS in it instead of the TT V-6 but it's still an awesome car.

    That seems like a lot of money for an ATS-V when they were selling brand new for ~$20K under MSRP as nobody wanted them. Did they just become more valuable because you can't buy them anymore?

    It is worth taking a look and doing your due diligence.

    There are some unicorns to be found.

    That's how I picked up a near-new 2013 G37xs with 3800 kilometers.

    Omg, to match their existing naming conventions, it should be the Acura ELX!

    I really like the ATS-V as it's a great performance bargain. GM chassis tuners are amongst the best in the world. I just wish the instrument cluster didn't look like it was lifted out of a 90's Chevy Malibu.
