If it is a 2nd car, have you considered a lease? Low mileage equals great deals.

2006-2011 Porsche 911. You won't lose your shirt if you pay $50k for one and keep it for a few years. And you can easily find these with CPO warranties to have some peace of mind.



Or a 2007-2010 Aston Martin Vantage - around $65k. Might not find one with that warranty though.



A Ferrari 360 can be had for about $75k, well sorted. Not too bad on maintenance either.

You could probably get one from the Ferguson Police Department.

1968 Corvette Stingray



(Doesn't have to be a '68, just that body style).

I've been thinking about buying one for years, I may pull the trigger soon......

if budget was no object, I would probably buy a late 60s/early 70s camaro.

If it is just a weekend vehicle, what is your daily driver? That might help. I'd love an old pickup as a weekend beater. But I drive a Jeep daily. Would be nice to be able to go to the home depot and not take the wife's van and have her go crazy if something scratches the interior. Something like an older Ram quad cab with a full sized bed. But if I drove something like that or an SUV daily, I'd want a Jeep for the weekend. Who am I kidding though? I'd still drive the Jeep every day and just use the truck for hauling stuff.

You don't really want a 68 unless it has rare options. The 69-70 were whole lot better cars. Let me know when you find one.

Thanks for the advice. I've just really started looking recently on Ebay mostly. Is that picture yours or just an internet photo?
