so thinking of buying something special to enjoy for a couple of years then put back into some investment scheme for when i retire, thats the plan anyways. so thoughts? tvr sagaris springs to mind but having had a few tivs im not so sure, quite fancy a 993 turbo as well. basically something i can use but not take a hiding on....

993 Turbo is a good shout or a classic if thats your bag (E-type etc) Aston Martin Vanquish should not drop much further or something like a Ferrari 355. The choices are plentiful at that sort of budget, just steer clear of anything made in great numbers. A 997 GT3 although a magical car will surely soften in price when the 991 GT3 is launched.

not really into old classics at the mo, aston would be a good choice but are they holding at the moment? think i would have to do some homework on the porsche front but have always loved the 993 i dont really know enough about the gt versions. im guessing nissan gtr's are only going to go down but at what rate i guess is hard to say.

993 Turbo is a good shout, an F355 would also be well worth a look as they seem to have bottomed out on price now.n DB9 still has a bit further to fall I think, if you look at where the DB7 is now.

I would suggest the above.

993 911's hold their money well, especially the turbo. I had a look at this car when I was down at Paragon not too long ago. Excellent condition:

Ferrari 355's again a very nice car £40k-£50k will get you a nice one (?). I absolutely love this one biggrin

Ferrari 575. A bit more modern than the above. Lot of car for the money.

Sagaris.... been rising sharply for a couple of years now but I think there's still a little room to grow if you can find one sub 50k.

Gallardos seem to start from around that price, not sure how well they'll stick in the future though?

993 of some sort, but probably best with manual box. To further refine, probably tops is one of the last as "last of the last of the aircooleds".

Ferrari 550. Best option, even more so than the 575.

I know Ferrari 512TR's have, and are appreciating well - could a good Testarossa follow as it ages?
