The Ten Best Supercars You Can Buy On eBay For Less Than $100,000
The Ten Best Supercars You Can Buy On eBay For Less Than $100,000-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:45

Last week, I asked you frugal, aspiring millionaires . These are the best cars you can buy on eBay, under a six figure price tag. This is gonna be good.

And just so we're all on the same page and don't get in petty squabbles about weight, engine size and tire width, the definition of "supercar", according to Wikipedia, is a very expensive and high-performance sports car or grand tourer.

10. Lamborghini Gallardo

Lambo's entry-level supercar was a game-changer. It's largely considered the go-to car for the newly wealthy, for a reason. Its 5 liter V10 gives a scream that would send chills to even the most spineless of middle-aged men. .

9. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Here it is, the 600+ horsepower, 6.2 liter supercharged monster that was faster than anything that came out of virtually anywhere else in the world at the time, and it had 3 American pedals instead of some candy-ass flappy paddle foreign job. It was also the first time that a Corvette broke $100k MSRP. Well, that was then and this is now - .

8. Maserati Granturismo GTS

Here's one of the best sounding and best looking cars ever made. This one has the 4.7 liter Ferrari V8, and has the same style of transmission as the F430 Scuderia, according to the seller. , so you could get some choice mods or just save the rest in a piggy bank for when maintenance time rolls around, not having to worry about which limb you'll miss least.

7. NSX Type T

No supercar list is complete without at least mentioning the Acura NSX. It's a car you can drive every day, with the same maintenance schedules as a Honda Accord, and the durability of an M1 Abrams tank. . It's a contender, if only for its freakishly long retractable antenna.

6. Nissan GTR SPE 650

Of course the Nissan GTR is going to be on this list. It's the bargain supercar of the century, but let's be honest, it's a bit bland in stock form when you really get to know it intimately (I'm talking out of my ass). That's why the good folks at SP Engineering have made this "650" version - you get three guesses as to what the number represents. . It's a tremendous value, if only for the work and quality of parts involved.

5. Ferrari 550 Maranello

Known as the V12 Ferrari styled specifically for eccentric orthodontists, this Ferrari 550 looks every bit the part of an exotic, while retaining some semblance of practicality and ease of use. Hell, . *heavy breathing*

4. Lamborghini Diablo

It's yellow, the doors go up, it makes an insane sound from its hand-built Italian V12, and has the acceleration of a go-kart. You don't have to drive it everyday, but know that when you do, it'll be an event. .

Look at this sweet 1991 Diablo in Penis Magnet Yellow.

It can be yours for just a bit more than a launch edition Volvo XC90 T8 hybrid, in Jalop Magnet Brown.

It comes with 12 raging cylinders and 6 gears that must be engaged manually.

$86K and 9 hours remaining, what are you waiting for ?

3. Audi R8 V10

This was a genuine surprise to me, as I didn't know the price of these cars came down so drastically. , with looks that are arguably more striking, decent reliability, and dat exhaust note. It's nearly perfect in every way.

2. Ferrari 360

I'll let our resident Ferrari owner and impromptu-gas-station-conversation connoisseur Doug DeMuro, explain:

I seem to recall facing a similar challenge in January. :

Here's why: one, it's fast, but not insanely so. I've previously owned cars with well over 500 horses, and this one is WAY more manageable — in my opinion, that makes it more exciting to drive. You have to actually go get the power, rather than just stomp down your foot and go zero to sixty in 2 seconds. Two, it's reliable. Buy an 02 or later and there are virtually no major issues to worry about — except for the major service. But even that isn't SO expensive, at just $3k every 4 years. Far better than $6-9k for a 355 — not to mention the other issues that model has. And three, it's still fairly modern. Mine has working AC, power windows, xenon headlights, dual power seats, and keyless entry. It's no 458, but it's also no bare-bones 308.

Still the best deal for the money, unless you're just obsessed with horsepower. Now, someone prove me wrong!

1. Porsche 997 GT3

If you don't enjoy driving this car, you don't enjoy driving. Here's Michael Prichinello, co-owner of , explaining why:

, so no need for anyone else to add anything. Six speed, manual steering, gobs of power and the ability to kill its owner with ease! let's all just move on to the next post

is the founder of and writes about on the internet. He owns the world's cheapest , a , and he's the only Jalopnik author that has never driven a Miata. He also has a real name that he didn't feel was journalist-y enough so he used a pen name and this was the best he could do.

There's a difference between being cheap and treasuring value per dollar spent. One is knowing…
