Does it cost alot to maintain older sport cars?




Ihor T


HI! i will be buying a first car soon, i want something either powerful or new and nice, latest models cost a bit alot, so older sportcars are the answer for me i think.
i was looking into like toyota supra if i come by one, or a 3000gt.
but how much does it cost to maintain them? like if something brakes down can i go to the car shop and have it fixed? or they dont carry parts for them so its going to be hard and expensive?
thanks!



Answer
Neither one of those are sports cars and they are very expensive and difficult to maintain and repair as parts are hard to come by and are expensive.

If you want a real older sports car that is cost effective, get a 87-93 Ford Mustang GT. Stock they have 225 hp and 275 ft/lbs of torque. You can get a clean one for about $5000. Spend about $3000 in upgrades and you will have an $8000 car that makes over 300hp and 325 ft/lbs of torque that will destroy any of the other two cars. It is also much cheaper and easier to repair and maintain a Stang. No vehicle ever made has more performance parts support than the Mustang, It is also cheaper to get power out of the Mustang than the other cars you mentioned.

What's a good sports car ranging from 07 to 11. I was looking at a Toyota aurion but they don't sell it in the u.s. so what's a good sports car that's nice and has horsepower.its going to be my first car so anywhere up to 18 -25k about. I am also looking for a 4 door sedan look


Answer
"sports car" and "sedan" are mutually exclusive terms despite Nissan's marketing claims over the years calling the Maxima a "four door sports car"

Sport sedan? Lots of options in your price range - Subaru WRX comes to mind. Keep in mind anything that's fast will cost a lot to insure, since you said this is your first car you need to take that into consideration, a young driver will spend a lot more to insure a WRX or Lancer Evolution than a Corolla or Focus or something like that. Get quotes before you buy.
