Default How many $32K cars have 4 cylinder engines?
Besides the S2000 of course.

Ever have this conversation?

"How much are these cars going for?"
"around 32K"
"wow. 6 cylinder car right?"
"No it's a 4 banger"
<Confused face>

I just realized I paid 32K for a 4 cyl car! But it's not just any 4 banger.

Got me thinking, how many cars over 30K have 4 cylinder engines?

Yeah but they sell in the $20's now if they are in good shape, upper teens if average condition.

I was just pointing out that the 968 Cabriolet isn't a $32k car anymore. I know since I have one. The nice thing is it appears to be bottoming out on the depreciation curve where the S2000 is just hitting the steep downward slope.
