A low mileage 2011 GT still under the factory 8 year 100k engine warranty would be my vote.

I'm partial to the 2010 - but I'm biased with a warranty and all.

I bought my S2 off the internet but did my homework in that I made the VA dealership cough up all of the maintenance records and send many pieces of additional information including pictures. I got 90% of the infomation I needed to say go.

Before I got on the flight to fly one way without checked luggage onto a flight to Dulles, I had a rotary specific maintenance performed including a rotary engine compression test and a fresh oil/N3R1 filter change. Well worth it ahead of time. No surprises on the car after a year and a half.

I bought mine on a wing and a prayer off craigslist and had my brother pick it up for me in Baltimore. Budget was $4k, got it for a little under that. Got it home, had it compression tested, was running 7.2 on the lowest face and that was before altitude correction. Getting another test done tonight, so far best $8k I've spent in total. But I'm biased too. I prefer the S1's more pure looks to the S2's more aggressive.
