Sports cars for £50k
Hello all,
My dad is looking at buying a 2nd hand sports car for around 50k, he's asked for my input as he said he can pop me on the insurance so I need to ensure he gets the best one! The choices that we are considering are: Aston Martin V8 Vantage Jaguar XKR Maserati Gransport Porsche Carrera 2s I'm pushing for either the Maser or Aston as they're a little different and also my dad has owned the old shape XK8 and an older 911. I know a fair bit about the cars in terms of performance, maintenance costs etc just wondering what you guys think and what you'd go for |

Re: Sports cars for £50k
I wouldnt have the Maserati thats for sure. Out of those choices, it would be the Porsche then the Aston, then the Jag. They are all very different cars and do differnt things. So its really what he wants from it. I reckon he should be able to get a half decent DB9 for £50k or nearest damn it anyway, and thats the aston to have.
I would also add into the mix a Merc SL of some flavour, AMG65 or similar or a Bently Continetal GT |

Re: Sports cars for £50k
it would the 911 or the aston for me as well.
it's a dilemma I would really like to have tho. i'd be out test driving as many different cars as possible. maybe there's some that he just wouldn't feelcomfortable in. does have to be something pretty exotic or would something like an m3 or even. Honda nsx be considered? |

Re: Sports cars for £50k
So, the Prodrive, the Tata, the Fiat or the, umm, Porsche?
I'd take the Prodrive

Re: Sports cars for £50k
He'd prefer something more exotic. I mentioned the Mercedes CL, BMW M6, and Audi R8 but he wasn't really interested & he told me it has to be European.

Re: Sports cars for £50k
I would but a ferrari 360 myself, or you could ever pick up an early Lambo Gallardo for that sort of money.
Why buy a sports car when you can have a supercar

Re: Sports cars for £50k
I wouldnt touch the Maserati.
Ive never seen one reliable enough to get beyond the end of my road.
