This hot rod Lincoln strikes me as a weird but fairly good buy:

I think about that all the time.

Same.

Then again, until a month ago my only cars were 10+ years old and falling apart. I'm clearly doing it wrong.

Now this I might like. Price guess?

It's a 996 so maybe 60?

Hood gap looks wonky. This guy is going to get killed in the comments.

Also while I still think the 355 is my favorite F car the simple clean design of the 360 is starting to grow on me.

Nice 6spd example.

I've always liked the looks of the 360 a lot. As you say, it's simple and clean.

Counterpoint:

The accident was nearly 10 years and 70,000 miles ago, so any effect on the car's driveability is presumably negligible. These cars are getting so expensive that if you want to actually drive one (and particularly if you want to take one to the track, which is the only place to really enjoy it), buying one that's already been hit just makes good sense.

Yeah, it'll be harder to sell later--but at least you're pricing the hit into the purchase price, which is better than what would happen if you bought a pristine one and pranged it.

This might be a good deal, but with the bidding up to 38K and a week still to go, maybe not.
