This low-mileage W222 S560 represents the last generation before Mercedes decided to make everything a tablet on wheels. The twin-turbo 4.0L V8 makes 463 hp through a nine-speed auto to all four corners, finished in Selenite Gray over black Nappa—the kind of spec that ages better than the infotainment systems that ship with these things. Values on clean examples have stabilized, making now the moment to buy if you've been watching.

The final C7 ZR1 represents peak naturally aspirated American performance before the mid-engine pivot. 755 hp from the LT4, aggressive aero that actually works, and a sub-$100k entry point now that initial hype has cooled. This is the last of a lineage that started in 1970—values have stabilized, which means now's the time.

A roundup of overlooked JDM four-doors that delivered genuine driver engagement on a budget—think S54 levels of NA screaming and chassis tuning culture, minus the German depreciation tax. The list likely covers Altezza, Stagea, and early 2000s Legacys that are finally getting their due as E46 prices spiral.
