Rather biased but buy the Carrera 2S all day long. I can't wax lyrical enough about them as an ownership prospect. You wont be disappointed.

D. Corvette C6
C6 starts the game with over 400 bbhp and 400 lb/ft. Great daily driver if that's the capability you need, very reasonable on fuel and very low maintenance costs.

You wont get a decent 997S for 30k. I'd say OPC warranty was a must too.

I'd keep the CSL.

However, I love 997's but no where near as special in C2s form as the CSL so would need to be one way out of the price range!

What about a 996 turbo or GT3?

You wont get in a GT3 for 30k. Turbo is a good shout though.
