Porsche is the standard.

Get a 15-20 year old 911 and restore it for less than the price of a new Honda.

+1!

Done that twice. First time, back in the '90s, got an '85 Carrera for less than just about any new car on the market...less than 20K, in fact. Willingness to buy a used car in great condition got me one of the very best cars ever made; people who only drive Hondas and such have absolutely NO idea what really good handling, braking, and acceleration is all about.

Followed the same path again just a couple of weeks ago - picked up a '93 RS America (granted, because the RSA is gaining "collector car" status, this time paid about about the price of a loaded Honda, not the bottom-of-the-line cheapos), and again have a car that's light-years beyond 99% of the junk on the road today...and at less cost than most of them.

Porsche...There IS no substitute! :-)

You can pick this 1990 911 up in Nashville for $25,900.
