The 996 turbo at one point dropped down to like $30k. So mad at myself for missing my chance to get one then.
Hey don’t worry, car prices will drop again. This is the worst spike i’ve seen in a while but it’ll definitely drop to more affordable prices, just wait it out and don’t commit to a car until you truly find the right one. Good luck to you bro I hope you can find that 996 one day even if it’s not exactly around 30k!
@@Snookered4568 stagflation.
Same 😔
I’m in the same boat
While I agree about prices being high I honestly think the 996 turbo was criminally undervalued. So even if prices go down I honestly think they’re due for steady appreciation based on older models historically. Either way I hope they drop a little because I too missed the 30k boat:(
Honestly I think the Merc would be my ideal car, fast cheap and has potential to look insane

As someone living in Asia....the Viper n the Corvette is ultra exotic to me.
by the way, nice new logo
And also a mustang.
If your import tax is not bad and what year back you have to go Corvette and mustang are common here in the States. Binet is not seen to much but people sell them. It is interesting to hear that in other countries our sporty cars are wanted more. For me a R32 Skyline, Audi RS6 Avant (First Gen) Alfa Romeo 156, BMW M5 wagon, Ford Falcon, Peugeot 205 T16, Mercedes 500E. Most of those we did not get and I would like 1 of each

Spot on list - as the owner of a Viper and an SL55 AMG, I can tell you they are big bang for the buck. Finding a Viper for under 50k is becoming difficult, but finding an SL55 for under 30k is totally possible (barring low mileage examples). The Viper, however, will want to kill you. The SL55 will keep you safe & comfortable - with balls. Elise: track car. Maserati: cheap until you need repairs or maintanance. C5 Vette: best performance for the dollar but, ho hum, yawn. Nicely done and accurate video!
Thanks for the feedback Kenneth!
You say the Maserati is cheap until it needs repairs and maintenance as if a dodge product or a Mercedes are reliable.
@@dieseldouche7735 well i know someone who also owns a sl amg and never had problems with it. 🤷♂️
@@justarandomguy1794 that's just one example, I'm sure as a whole no performance oriented Mercedes is going to be reliable.
C5 yawn? Have you ever owned one? I own a C5Z and it gives me an adrenaline rush every time I drive it, and I ride motorcycles regularly for comparison!
Anyone else laugh when he said the Elise would “dominate” anyone on the track then showed a quick clip of it with a 370z and a Toyota 86 like we wouldn’t notice 😂
yeah lol i saw that too
I mean. If a celica GTS can give a hard time to a 86, why could an elise, which is the same car but with a Suoercharer slapped on with a bunch of kg less. Also, when VVTL-I kicks in, the 2zzge fly
Nice list. I envy how good the prices are in the US. Just checked the largest retailer in Germany and the prices are a bit higher:
Viper - 42000 EUR (44500 USD)
C5 - 15000 EUR (15900 USD) - best price
911 996 Turbo - 52000 EUR (55000 USD) - worst price
Elise - 26000 EUR (27500 USD)
V8 Vantage - 40000 EUR (42300 USD)
Ghibli - 24000 EUR (25400 USD)
Karma - 24000 EUR (25400 USD)
SL 55 AMG - 24000 EUR (25400 USD)
Most of those have just a few listing then going quite higher. The C5 has the most listings with less than 2000 EUR difference. The Turbo has the least.
Respect for the new logo 🙏

I’d definitely love to own an Elise seems like it’d be a blast to daily as well. The elise carry the boosted 2zz-ge correct? Yamaha & toyota did a great job on it
ur talking about a lotus elise sc those are quite expensive and the exige is the better pick for performance as it's a street legal track car. They showed a lot of exiges not elises but they are great cars regardless.
@@shadowcoregaming7578 what about the evorra?
@@crazysilly2914 I actually got to ride in the Evora gt 400 a few months ago and the interior quality was shockingly great. The car was very fast and nimble. It seemed like a very daily drivable car that had creature comforts, wasn't too loud, and had an amazing 6spd manual transmission. I'm the kind of guy who loves a hardcore car so I'd go for an exige and daily it but the Evora is sort of the best of both worlds. The owner was power sliding the car everywhere and it never once acted in an unpredictable way. It really depends on what you want out of a lotus car. A daily driver that's comfortable and has creature comforts? A very tight lightweight go kart with good power and amazing handling? Or a track ready barely street legal car that can slaughter the competition given the right driver.
Like when he says we broke as hell make us feel closer
@@shadowcoregaming7578 Thanks for the info man I’ve never been into Lotus at all but I was looking at getting corolla/matrix xrs & knew they shared the same engine just s/c thought it was pretty cool.
Viper is not just an exotic, its the first V10 muscle and was so revolutionary at the 90s, too bad they stopped production of ACR in 2017.
Love your channel. It's both educational and un-annoyingly entertaining. Watching reviews about cars that I can actually afford and maintain is great.
Non-car people look at my 22 brz and wonder what it is. They think it looks expensive
Squidd: "Im talking about the one thats always the answer.
Everyone: "MIATA!'
Squidd: "No its not the miata"
Everyone: :(
Haha same
Awesome video, love my SL55. Anyone thinking about getting into one of these, the SL55 is SOOO easy to pull more power out of the motor. New supercharger puller and some cooling mods makes it a monster.
I agree ! The SL55 was the first car i had worked on because it was the first car I had that I actually COULD work on. Still to this day, one of my favorite cars and it holds a special place in my heart when looking back at all the progress i’ve made. Had some crazy fun memories in that car :’)
The SL 55 is a fun car to own, but I had so many issues with mine... Like the transmission just got stuck in park and the shifter would not move. Some computer chip also went out and made it shut off in the middle of driving. The air suspension pump went out. And an oxygen sensor for the carbon emissions was faulty as well... just all sorts of random headaches within less than 2 years. Was very happy to sell it cuz it was just bleeding money to keep fixing it. Also it was only 4 years old at the time I bought it with only 20k miles on it.
Thanks for the perspective on ownership experience. I know with any luxury car its a real crap shoot in terms of reliability and ownership. Many people say its one the "good ones" but I'm sure you're not alone in your experience.
those early 2000 benz had like a hole you could put a ink pen to release the shifter when stuck in park, or replace the module sensor that tells the shifter it's safe because your foot is on the break. We just kept a pen in the cup holder. Doubled as theft protection :)
@@TheMustangStampede lol 😆 yeah that could have come in handy
Could probably get rid of the dumb electronics!
the being stuck in park thing means the stop fuse is blown
I think SL55 Amg and Porsche panamera 2011-2013 is the best cars for their price. they are around 15-25k
Didn’t think of the panamera. Don’t really know if it’s “supercar” but certainly a cheap car that looks expensive.
@@IdealMediaChannel A first Gen Turbo Panamera spec'd out was about $200k. 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. 1/4 mile in the 11s. Did the Nurburgring in 7:56. The numbers are definitely supercar numbers, but maybe you have a different definition?
Picked mine up for $28k :)
nothing is cheap right now. unless you just happen to get lucky
@@caiden915x So you're telling me you found a panamera turbo S for under 30k. Because i'm looking right now and there's not one under $38k across all of America at the moment.
@@Viii_Glasseye Mine is a 2010 Turbo 90k miles. One owner. Has PCCB, Sports Chrono, PDCC w/ PTV, etc
Great thing about buying one with more miles is that most of the commons issues were fixed. Coolant pipes, upper and lower control arms, all the recalls including the cam adjuster bolt.
I figured the Alfa Romeo 4C would be on here. I know it's not very fast with the 4-cylinder engine but it is pretty exotic looking for the price.
Absolutely adore mine, tuned making 300whp is plenty for a car that weighs only 2300lbs haha - one of the most fun cars ive ever driven
as a European living in the US, the vette has always been a foreign exotic car to me. the c6 ZR1 is my dream car
The SL55 AMG is crazy 🔥 I’m more into the CL55 because of it looks different
There’s no way I would sell my C5 Z06 for 18K! 😮 But they can be bought for that! Just be ready to drop about 3-4K in it to get it rite! 😎🤙🏼
I bought my 01 z06 a year ago for $15,600 with 62k miles. Absolutely love it and wouldn’t let it go for any reasonable offer. Worth way more to me than the blue book value, which is way up
Got my 03 Z06 for 23k with 50k miles 2 years ago and dropped another 5k for repairs/preventive issues (tires,valve springs, trunnions, new clutch, rear end seals etc, etc)
I just picked up a 04 Vette with 78k miles for 15k. It has a full bbe exhaust, headers, ram intake, Texas speed stage 2 cam and 2 step it makes 410whp and 456lbft
Can i come over?
Worth it?

Ay Squid, when shopping for an e60 M5, find one in SMG. Which sucks. But, it's the best experience. The manual was pulled from the E39 and the gearing is garbage for the V10 in my opinion. Which means you should try to aim for a 2008+ (lci facelift) with the updated SMG. You might still run into SMG issues though.
The V10 M5 and M6 are amazing road cars.
F1 derived engine, sounds intoxicating.
500p horsepower.
Stable, agile and good looking.
Nothing special....they are too common
F1 Engines with the reliability of a F1 engine... They have more hours at the garage getting repaired then out on the road.
You're severely underestimating how broke we are bro 💀
Hell I love my c5 z06 it's a wonderful car. Glad it made the list, loads of potential and even stock it's plenty for a street car
The Sl55 is also extremly reliable, probably one of the most reliable amg's in regards to the mechanics
But the electronics, YIKES.
Can speak from experience from my friend having one. the damn thing locked us out as we went to the store to get drinks.
My dad has one the only issue it has is that it shreds tires
@@shaggings The electronics are actually pretty good in the grand scheme of Mercedes. Speaking from experience is a logical fallacy, in regards to statistics. The SL55 has very good electronics, probably some of the best. The only thing you may consider an issue is the convertible top, but to be fair that has always been an issue with convertible Mercedes.
The electronics are top notch
@@joelstatosky1817 even compared to the W215 flawless electronics?
@@shaggings fair point, without the convertible it does make the w215 arguably more reliable. However If I'm getting an AMG, I want an SL
Having a blue with two white stripes Dogue Viper is my childhood dream car.
It looks so amazing.
If an Elise with a Pontiac Vibe engine qualifies as a supercar, does a Pontiac Fiero qualify as a supercar?
I don’t think most people would think it is one when you roll up…
Yes especially the Pontiac Fiero GT.
Non car people will think that the Pontiac Fiero GT is an Ferrari just like they thought about the Toyota MR2.
ask to an owner of a lotus to give you a ride. I've been in many supercars and the scariest time in my life was on a abck road on an Exige 260, damn that thing is fast...

Good picks , think the Z06 would be my choice for the reliability factor above all else . Viper and then the Lotus . Guessing if someone was a talented mechanic then the parts for everything else could be ,,, let’s say not too bad . Everything else on the list looks like a foreign car repair shops bread and butter
This video was great! Loved the AMG and my whole channel is built on this concept bahaha. Thanks for the work
For me would be a SL55 AMG
I think we’re gonna need a video of trev explaining how to make the m5 reliable…
good stuff man. Surprised you didn't pick some of the older stuff like the original M5. Yes, it's a sedan that looks like the rest of them, but it's insanely fast. Glad you put the AMG on there, looks more "supercar" than the e63
Remember, whatever you buy it will inevitably require repairs and maintenance. Many of these cars have parts prices that will shock you.
If you are happy enough with it sounding like a supercar and having a nice interior, try the alfa 166 3.0, that engine sings.
From this list, I'd try to find a clean C5 Z06 for 20k. It's the fastest car I could afford to maintain.
As a Brit, that likes pocket rockets, the Elise is where it's at.. But, the Merc price tag wins it for me!
You say it as it is,thanks brother,I appreciate your videos
One of the best videos this year👏🏾
I had a buddy that bought a viper at auction for a steal. Had nothing wrong with when he bought it. Kept it for about 6 months and kept having to drop a bunch of money into it. He ended up selling it for a loss after all the repairs. C5 zo6 is dope. My father in law had one. Dumb ass sold it for a crossfire.

That car got a lot of attention.
And I sold the Fiat back in July 2016. I do not regret that purchase.

Love love the c5 they’re underrated and blowing up now I need to cop one asap
When I first graduated college, the Elise was my "attainable dream car".
Man...you are my favorite host of Ideal and your videos they're super good keep up the good work.
🇲🇽
Ballin on a budget, heck yeah.
As someone who's owned several astons the AM V8 Roadster S was the most fun to drive on country roads, I miss mine.
I would buy a 2nd or 3rd gen Dodge Viper. That's only if Mopar is still making parts for them since the Viper was discontinued in 2017.
Ive always thought of the 2005 Cl65 as my favorite "supercar", Bi-turbo v12, 600hp, and its not hard to find them for 17k only problem is they eat fuel, brakes, and oil and have a limiter.
As a previous owner of a base 996.2 Carrera 911. I agree. Definitly gets attention. only had 320hp and 0-60 was 4.9 seconda but top speed was 177......which is supercar in my opinion. Actually bought it over my other choice which is alao on this list, a 03/04 Corvette C5 Z06. Anyways, sold my 996 to another youtuber (Auto Ameture) back in June 2020 and went American again and got a new 2020 Charger 392 Scatpack in september. Sure its a $40k+ car that's fast but its no supercar and although its gets attention its nothing like when I owned my 996.2. Man I miss that Porsche. Glad it went to good home and that the guy still ownes and drives it. He cross countrying that thing right now. Lol. Anyways, great video and I agree with most these cars on the list.
Was this really made 3 months ago...? Used car prices are through the roof in every conceivable category.
Bro your mad funny!! Love the video!!
🤣🤣Dude just called an R8, a mid-engine VW. Lol! He's right, when I had an Audi, I used to buy VW parts for it and they were cheaper.
Love the new logo it's simplistic and cool
its the ukrainian flag my guy
I love these kind of videos, nice job. Couple weeks ago l couldn't believe my eyes when a Karma rolled along side of me on the freeway. First thought was "it's running (their known to be seriously troublesome) second thought "it's freaking gorgeous!!!" I was driving my old 412 Ferrari and he was checking me out, my car though somewhat reliable and fun (manual) to drive looked like crap compared to the Karma. I heard some company was building them with Corvette running gear but don't know if they were actually built or not.
I appreciate the video amazing 🔥🔥.
The Mercedes Benz s600 comes with a big v12 in have 500hp
The Jag F Type is underrated. Its fun, good looking and around 40K for a 2018.
I have an idea for a video. Run what ya brung. Highlight viewers rides. appreciate what you got and viewers that turned their daily driver into something unique.
Missing the M6 V10 - that ticks every box, and its under 20k all day
Such an underrated car
Squidd: Insults everyone watching for being poor and hopeless.

I'm not rich and I'm pretty hopeless too. We're all in this together.
Imagine making an replica of SL 65 AMG from SL 55 AMG.
It would be cheaper just to get an SL65.
my merc is the , 1998 SLK 230 Kompressor. the super charger gives it speed to pass in an instant and handles great. it cost $3500. and i'v had it 12 years.
I love this video, mate! Also the first gen viper is literally a death box..
Must be tough to justify any of these prices since the market is effed. I remember looking at z06’s and 911’s 3 years ago and thought “I could do that”. Now I’m thinking “i dont know if I would pay that”
Doesn't help that gas prices going sky high too. Not only do you get screwed on the price of the car, you get screwed each time you're at the pump too.
It has made making “cheap” videos on this channel a challenge that’s for sure.
Devalued currency due to printing gift packages, prices aren't going back down where they were.
I know it’s not considered a super car but I think the CTS-V would have been good for this list
The Cts-v is a beast of a car.

If the Elise is supercar, then so is the MR2 Spyder, almost as quick as the Elise, just as pretty and 1/3 of the price and 3x more reliable.
Toyota badge though
Just debadge it. 95% of people won't know.
The Elise is a formidable sports car that you can drive it with pride.
Conversely...
The MR2 Spyder/Roadster is a £1500 economy box.

You can get good sports cars for that price like used Porche Boxter (I prefer the Porche Cayman which is a non cabriolet version of the Boxter but they are to new to be in that price range).
Whats the best years to purchase for tge SL55?
a good comparable alternative to the lotus elise is an alfa romeo 4c, it'll cost you a little more, and it honestly performs pretty similarly to the elise, it does have double the torque of the elise though, and you get the added bonus of bragging rights that you drive an italian sports car

Back when vipers first came out the cars literally tried to kill the owners
They still are
@@IdealMediaChannel head to the street races 12am and see a viper...
Knowing that shit is gonna be wrapped around a pole before 2am.
In 2014 I took out a fire hydrant and a telephone pole in my 01' Viper - car totalled. My fault - stupidity. Broken collar bone, 9 broken ribs, deflated left lung, spleen ruptured, nerve damage. Vipers must be respected - they are dangerous as hell, but I LOVE THEM. Bought another one (an 03') and still have it. I drive it soooo carefully now.
For those who want a sleeper, the C6 S6. It has a 5.2L V10 under the hood and looks *almost* identical to the A6, apart from minor differences only a few will notice. I own one and couldn’t possibly be happier with it. It isn’t the sharpest on a back road or the fastest in a straight line, but its fast and agile enough to have a good time in, not to mention the Beyoncé under the hood ;)
Im sure people would question the handling first and foremost, to which i say there’s quite a few of different adjustable coilover setups from different brands like H&R, Bilstein, and a few others.
Its a pretty reliable engine if well maintained, but definitely set aside some money for parts and maintenance. Doing it yourself will obviously save a few bucks, and there’s a good number of parts from other manufacturers, some of which supply the original parts for the S6.
PLEASE do your research before diving into one of these, because if you ain’t prepared, its gonna burn through money like California in the summer.
Alternatives: if you want luxury, get the S8, same 5.2 V10. If you want fast, get the RS6 with the twin turbo 5.0 V10. I chose the S6 because i find its the best value for money, and 430hp is plenty already.
With that wall of text, sounds like you're trying to convince yourself of your poor decision making skills.
