Z4 vs Cayman

[Calculator]

Considering both of the above for the missus. Budget is £30k and it would do 6-7k pa.

Could get a nearly new Z4 for the money (23i MSport) or an older Cayman.

What are peoples thoughts?

not really a fan of the z4, but that looks a lot of car for the money.

I drool every time I see a new Z4. Such a great looking car!

What about a Boxster?

or if thats a bit old this is a tiny bit over budget but much more attractive than the Z4 IMO. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1606483.htm

Boxster looks like a lot of car for the money. What (if any discount) would typically be negotiable on a car like that?

The Boxster or Cayman would have to be non 'S' versions - she isn't into performance so it'd be wasted!

Stretch the budget to this?

Have you asked HER if she has a preference or are you just worried you'll get the usual 'Hairdresser' comments if you admit it's really for you?
