22 Of The Sickest Supercars You Can Buy For Less Than $50,000
The realm of supercars may seem beyond the reach of the average person thanks to budgetary limitations. You not only have to consider the initial price of purchase but also the maintenance costs, especially for cars that need replacement parts every 5,000 miles or so.
There is also the consideration of fuel consumption. Since most supercars are designed for extreme performance at the highest levels, fuel consumption is really not a priority for the manufacturers. With most supercars having their base models priced from $70,000 upwards, if you really want to enjoy the thrill of speed, raging engines and the beautiful designs that come with such cars, the used car market is your last frontier.
But even in the used market you are not guaranteed to find bargains, either because of the initial high price of the cars or because some models - especially the classics - have grown heavily in value over the years.
Still, there are a number of high performing and well-known brands that manage to dip below the $50,000 mark and some can even be had for as low as $10,000. Even with such bargains, you should proceed with caution and exercise due diligence when inspecting the car to ensure it matches your purpose, whether it is everyday use or for racing on a track.
Here are 22 ideas to start you off on your hunt for a bargain on a used supercar.

Here is a classic car that has appreciated in value pretty fast and so it can be both an indulgence and an investment if you are able to purchase one. While ownership of a premium model averages about $70,000 depending on mileage, specific models and other factors, there are still amazing bargains in the market.
The 328 is among the Ferraris designed for frequent use with an engine that can do 100,000 miles before demanding a rebuild or replacement. For just $45,000 you will be able to find yourself a great car with a 3.2 L engine, 270hp and 231 lb-ft of torque. It goes from 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and may not have the blistering pace of some others on this list but it is still fast. The traditional red (Rossa Corsa) and Nero black seem to have the most appeal to buyers.

To hear an F355 owner talk about their car is to hear an unending narration of perfection in performance and all the little things Ferrari does so well. That is, until they get into the expenses of maintaining one.
This is the ultimate classic car for someone who relishes sheer speed and power without having to compromise on handling and steering.
Over the years there have been three distinct models: the Berlinetta, GTS and the Spider. Its distinct features have seen it become a classic with a strong following despite its high cost even as a used car. It's entirely possible to land one of these bad boys for $43,000. However, this is not a car for an everyday ride as the engine will require replacement every three years or so.
