you nuts.. buying a AE100 for 1.5M
and no.. it will be very hard to sell if for the same price..
trying going for a Lancer CK2. you'll be able to find a good car for around 1.4 M and even less
or even a good FB14.
and if the number is not a big issue, you can find a good 19- Honda Civic EK3 for a bit over 1.4 M
these cars will hold some re-sale value
