I'm also guessing they are tough to find, but maybe not? I'm still very, very interested in getting one... tell us more.

$55,000 with 8K miles. Only one used.

I have actually been eyeballing these myself lately. I am really hoping Nissan doesn't screw up the next Z and create something very comparable to the 4C, minus the mid engine thing of course. I would take one over a boxter any day.

Been watch reviews of this car even Hammond of top gear rate this car as a fun sports car to drive.

Im sure you'll enjoy the rawness of this car. Yes I wish they have it in manual and with synchro rev match.

There is an Alfa dealer in Henderson, NV...I might have to check one out!

You'll regret it.

For 55k you could get a Cayman S or a Z51 Vette.

Hmmm..these is a toss up, very nice choices you layed on the table there.

I've been eyeballing the Lotus Evora 400. It has some room in the back for storage. But there's this video on you tube where the Evora is drag racing everything and losing. Even regular azz GTi's are eating em up. It should run with Porsche. But the Porsche destroyed it. It looked pretty pathetic. What's next? It loses to the elantra sport?

Lotus has lost its grip with the sports car segment when they hired and fired CEO Dany Bahar as he promised to realase new line ups of evoras and Elise's, the company invested millions on this project that only ended up in a tissue paper as drawings. I believe so..

The 4C is nice but the only potential problem with it is it's a Fiat/Alfa. If recent poor reliability results of Fiats are any indication, the 4C may be more than you bargained for as far as reliability is concerned. But, I have read that the 4C is a true Italian built Alfa Romeo and therefore not prone to the Fiat reliability issues. I hope that is the case. The car is stunning.

Not my cup of tea.

From having Italian bikes like Ducati and Aprilia, long as it's made Tuesday to Thursday it's fine. Monday and Friday a toss up. Brilliant design and execution with a soul but little things can add up and Italian parts supply chain can be ifffy. I would not rely on a 4C as a DD. For that get the Caymen.

I had a hard time watching this. The drivers hand placement on the steering wheel just got to me. I only watched for about 45sec. Reminded me of the BMW M3 kid who drove his car off the road in the desert. Brutal.

Tested for 1.5 hours the 4C near my place in Germany. Get it and dont listen to those who says its not exotic. One look at the tub and you know it is. Mid engine, all aluminum decent HP and non power steering. Fantastic sound and oh fk yeah an exotic shape. A vette wishes it was that exotic. Please get it, drive it and enjoy it. Those who bad mouth it and not have driven it should basically say ZERO.
