50K budget, What new open top 2 seater?

[seanh]

Not a Porsche. Must be a 2 seater. New rather than used and must be reasonably civilised and have enough luggage room for a long weekend. Ideas?

45k, keep the change.

Still sure you want new?

The usual German stuff I suppose... SLK, Z4, TT,...

[crazy about cars]

SLK55AMG...

edit. didn't read.

Done in the first two posts! If new, an F-Type. If used, that Aston or a similar V8 Vantage, as £50k gets you the pick of the crop these days.

SLK 55 AMG is bang on the money

Not much else I can think of.. I would go second hand if I were you though

[kambites]

Will you be able to buy an F-type for 50k?

Surprised no-one's mentioned Exige V6 yet. [Yes, the roof is easily removed]

But you're not doing yourself any favours by ruling out the great new Boxster S. Best car in that category by a distance.

OP said "Not a Porsche. Must be a 2 seater. New rather than used and must be reasonably civilised and have enough luggage room for a long weekend. Ideas?"

We've been away for plenty of long weekends in an Elise. I suppose "reasonably civilised" is a rather personal thing, though.

However the bigger problem is that as far as I know you can't buy one for 50k.

+2 and have 5k change for a road trip.

[aka_kerrly]

Ok it's 2 years old with 11k but it's not exactly at a falling apart stage of it's life

Why not the Boxster? Do you purposely not want the best open top 2 seat sports car available today? Seems a little odd

That'll do it.

Although the SL55 AMG is a though opponent...
