I should probably apologise now for yet another "what car should I buy?" type thread - sorry! But I've been looking for a few weeks and not a whole lot is jumping out at me.

So if anyone is selling something "interesting" then do let me know. Can go to £45K but absolutely no aversion to paying less - less is good in fact! Something which is reasonably stable in terms of value would also be a bonus smile

You can mail me via PH.

Ta!

Surely the answer is dont buy anything? Are you trying to find a way of spending your money?

Keep your money and do something that you want.

or possibly an NSX if the price is right?

Give me a shout if you're interested in any of the above.

I'm assuming yours is a facelift NSX which I'd imagine is outside my budget? That's one car which seems to have ballooned in price.

Me too. About 4 weeks now searching. Similar budget but ideally 30-40k. Only prob is I want a convertible which narrows choices even further!!!

No, there's nothing I would rather have for the money at the moment. I should have been in a GT3 by now, but a little baby girl appeared and seems to have robbed my wallet!

Pop up lights, manual coupe. Just the way it should be.

Should have modded either of your Spyders, with a few camber tweeks and some proper tyres both my cars are transformed to I point I don't even look at the for sales adds now, which for me is unheard of.

Bar that 997.1 turbo or a R8 or get on track and punt round a 964.

I think Im going to go 993 or 996GT3, not much else that flicks my switch. I thought about another CSL or possibly a 355 but Ferraris I know nothing about.

Can't knock the Spyder. Loved both of mine - although they were getting a little frustrating to own when we rarely seem to get a sunny weekend anymore.

7tt and R8 are both on my list but not at the top of it. 6GT2 would be good but I'd like a club sport and they seem very thin on the ground. Was looking at the 6GT3 RS which is cat D (poa) but the chap is looking for mid 40's which I personally think is too much when it still requires work to bring it back to original spec. Plus it's a cat D which would always be a problem for resale.

Would probably have bought a Maserati Granturismo S that was at mid 40's in Bentley Cardiff but was sold when I turned up for a gander - great looking car.

Then there's my original idea of 964, 993 etc. but I'm just a little out of my comfort zone when looking at them.
