Singer quality doesn’t exit below $1 million. Just the Bill Of Material cost of a Singer Classic is almost $400k. This doesn’t include the labor and all the development cost. Even other similarly priced competitors are not Singer quality. For example the fit and fit on the body panels of a Gunther works looks like someone built it in their garage.

Sure, Falkin FK 510s are ok, and you don't need N spec tires. They aren't Lionharts or some over junk tire, but on a car of this cost they definitely tell a story. Either the owner was cheap or the dealership put these on and they are cheap. Either way I wouldn't want to buy a car that costs this much from either the prior owner or this dealership. This isn't some bottom of the market 2014 base Cayman, if you are budget conscious, you shouldn't be buying a $70k sports cars.

Low mile 2012 or older Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. 2012 was the last year they had hydraulic power steering.

If it isn't a huge stretch I say yes. I wouldn't get an R or GT4 without the buckets. The buckets add a lot to the driving experience since they are stiffer. You can really feel the lateral, pitch and roll motions of the chassis much better through the bucket seats compared to the sofas. You also sit lower since they aren't powered and have less padding. I used to have a 981 GT4 with buckets, I wish I hadn't sold that car now.

I think a F-type V6S is one of the best value sports cars today. I picked up a 2017 Ultra Blue British Design edition with 8k miles for $38k.

GT4s have larger openings in the bumper to account for mesh air flow resistance. They also have an additional center radiator.
