Using eBay to fantasize about cars.
Every once in a while I'll go on eBay and just click on "price: highest first" and drool for hours until I get down to the 80k mark or so. Have any of you ever gone through it and decided what cars you'd own if you won the lottery or have the money? Aha, I'm sure I'm not the only one. So I was curious... What would you choose at certain price ranges?
If you were given/won: (Answers are my choices)
40,000 - 50,000: Corvette z06
50,000 - 75,000: Vantage
75,000 - 100,000: ZR1
100,000 - 125,000: Viper ACR
125,000 - 150,000: 911 GT3 RS
150,000 - 175,000: SLS
175,000 - 200,000: Ford GT
200,000 - 250,000: Sl65 AMG Black
250,000 - 300,000: SLR McLaren
300,000 - 350,000: Carrera GT
350,000 - 400,000: Lexus LFA (Probably better options, but I love this car)
400,000 - 750,000: Aventador
750,000+: Koenigsegg Agera R (Although would be tough to choose against a Huayra). Neither were on eBay.
You obviously don't have the answer all of them. Just thought it'd be fun for some people who are bored.

About a decade back I gave up on the idea of adding a Gordon-Keeble or an Iso Rivolta to the stable, back when they were "affordable", so I stopped checking eBay daily.
I did find the eBay in UK interesting, lots of things there we don't see in the US, was tempted by a restoration-project Healey Elliott that IIRC got no bids at all.
The uber-cars for uber-dollars didn't interest me.

I don't tend to look at the cars north of $75k used since it's not realistic for me to have anytime soon, but here are a few cars I'd look into if I won a big jackpot, in what should be close to an ascending order by value:
Corvette Z06/ZR1
Ariel Atom 500
911 Turbo (997)
F430 Spider
Carrera GT
Corvette Z06/ZR1
Ariel Atom 500
911 Turbo (997)
F430 Spider
Carrera GT
