Okay, considering the cost of cars in Europe (think twice what we pay here)... I seriously doubt he's going to drop $30,000 on a used EVO. Or scrape together $100,000 for a 22b. Nevermind what it would take to buy a RUF. You might as well recommend "dude, you should pick up one of those space shuttles, I hear they cruise at 17,500 mph!"
How about looking for something affordable that you can't get here, like a Skoda, or a Renault. They're probably in the right price range, though they won't be sports cars or anything. Or go crazy, buy a Russian car just to say you had one... though I'd hate to work on it if it broke.
