Yeah but craftsmanship of a stanced car? You take a complete stock car....throw coilovers on it...get wide and low offset wheels on it.....STANCE. I don't know about you guys but not too much craftsmanship went into that.
We are talking the bare minimum to be considered "stanced". Tons of cars on this board have massive amounts of craftsmanship, others like OP just think it looks cool so they want one.
The car scene has gone to shit and people who simply post on an enthusiast forum boasting about how money isn't an issue and they just like the way they look so they want one is just soo frustrating to me. You can call me a d-bag or ignorant like the people above. Whatever. If you don't have the knowledge to install coilovers, roll the fenders, and get some wheels and tires mounted up you can learn. There are DIYs on forums and even on YouTube. It will take you a few hours to do these simple mods and you will appreciate the work and car so much more.
Even if you buy a car and take it to a shop to have coilovers and wheels installed I think you would still appreciate the car more knowing you picked the parts and the shop that did the work and it is still your car.
Also buying somebody else's project or even complete build isn't what bothers me here. It's the "I want a stancekur"..... "money isn't an issue".... "I don't care what car it is, anything from a European to a Japanese drift car"
This is simply a "That looks cool, I don't have one... I want one"
I fell in love with the look and craftsmanship that a stanced car has the first time I saw one on the streets. Problem is, I dont own one
Why does this matter so much to people. If he wants to buy a pre done car let him buy a pre done car. This stupid idea that because you built your car makes you better then everyone else, this is why the car scene turns to crap in every new avenue of expression in it.
OP: What would you prefer to look at? RWD, FWD? Does it matter?
While I do agree you would be better off getting a good idea of what kind of car you want, I also understand your point on not having the time to build something of your own.
Its unfortunate all these D-bags messed up your thread, hope you find something right for you, & you havent been scared away from the hobby just yet. Good luck bud!
Quite frankly I am not trying to make a statement with my car, or have a high standing in the 'Stanced' community. And I do not have time to 'build' a car.

I think he accidentally PM'd me. Just got one and here's what it said.
"Hey I'm located in South Florida and I have a stanced 2002 alpine weirs on cinnamon e46 m3 with extensive maintenance . Idk what your budget is but I'm asking $13k without rims but on coilovers and lots of extras."
