Get a DB7 coupe, not a convertible. The coupe is much nicer.

Well I can't find a coupe thats close for the price......

Zohaibman72 > Cherry_man1

I say NSX, it's the oldest out of them but it's also least likely to make you go broke from breaking down and maintenance.

Cherry_man1 > Zohaibman72

That is true

Aston's are gorgeous, that's tempting.

But a really clean NSX will be less likely to leave you stranded on the side of the road and IMO has just as much curb presence. Not much looks lower/wider than an NSX, I always get a little whiplash when one passes, which is increasingly rare.

Zohaibman72 > Cherry_man1

I'd probably get lower KMs if your willing to pay 30K though, you can probably cut up to like 15,000 - 25,000 off the odometer out if you find a NSX in the 28ish-30ish price range

Brian Silvestro > Cherry_man1

The reason there's no cheap coupes is because they're THAT much cooler.

May I recommend Alfa Romeo?

Well my parents do like the 4C and were talking about buying one if they sell our project house.

Clearly get the Aston!

JR1 > Cherry_man1

I am going to speculate and say the NSX is not only the cheapest but likely the best return on investment. Once you pay it off it will probably go up in value assuming of course you won't drive it into the ground

Cherry_man1 > Zohaibman72
09/11/2014 at 13:50

The thing is I can't the Gran Torino just isnt worth 30k quite yet. I have some other money saved up thats why the astons are here and the jag.

Cherry_man1 > macanamera
09/11/2014 at 13:51

Which one?

Cherry_man1 > JR1
09/11/2014 at 13:51

Well it will be an on again off again DD. and the NSX will be more or less paid in cash if I can get Cash for the Torino.

Zohaibman72 > Cherry_man1
09/11/2014 at 13:54

Ah makes sence. I still say the NSX. As sexy as the Aston is, it looks very dated compared to the NSX and Jag. The Jag is more recent, and Honda hasn't offically sold a replacement NSX yet, so it makes the outgoing NSX not look old, compared to the late 90s/early 2000s Astons which look old beside their new Astons.

I also feel like all of those have the same appeal, which is a bonus, The NSX may be japanese but will probably turn as many heads as the Jag or Astons

Bear in mind that cost of ownership (gas, insurance, loan payments, maintenance, etc.) is often a more useful metric for determining affordability with cars like these than simply looking at the purchase price.

If you want the car with the probability the lowest cost of ownership, go with the NSX - but keep in mind that even those are expensive if they haven't been cared for properly. Body work on the aluminum is also extremely expensive. Also, drive that NSX first - the automatic transmission may make a difference in driving experience. If you want the most practical on a daily basis, go for the Jag. It has a reasonably useful trunk, and will have the nicest interior. Complex systems can be expensive, though.The two Astons are lovely and all, but at that age, they will be expensive, and they will seem clunky in ways given that their once luxurious systems are now decidedly antiquated.

They would all be nice to have, but make sure you can definitely afford the potential hidden costs with them first. Do the research, estimate a cost of ownership for each of them, and go from there. And, as always, have any car you buy inspected to the microscopic level by an expert before you write that check.

^Def that one, right? I mean, V12 over Inline 6 all day. (I didn't even know Astons came with inline 6s...)

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Cherry_man1
09/11/2014 at 13:58

Go for the 2nd DB7, because V12 manual.

JK! You need to keep the Gran Torino! How else will you be able to play Clint Eastwood for Halloween??

Cherry_man1 > Brian Silvestro
09/11/2014 at 14:15

Well its all talk and no moving right now cause how much they are. like we would have to sell our House project and then the Torino and then MAYBE we would have enough. Because we have a few other things we need to pay for atm. but if we sell the torino he said it would be replaced.

Also a Cayman has been considered but its a Porsche and they can't not make things that don;t look like a 911.

Brian Silvestro > Cherry_man1
09/11/2014 at 14:24

ALFA OVER EVERYTHING

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Cherry_man1

Ummm, you could be Eastwood from another universe that actually wants people on his lawn?? I don't know. :P

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Cherry_man1
09/11/2014 at 14:26

You could go with a 944, 928 or 968 if you want the least 911-looking? Or I've got a better idea!

Cherry_man1 > Brian Silvestro
09/11/2014 at 14:29

We gotta pay of our other car before the alfa can even be considered.

Cherry_man1 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Cherry_man1
09/11/2014 at 15:04

Give me some money so I can mod out my FoST to beat an SRT-4? wouldn't be a lot. Just saying.

I'd say NSX, but it's an auto. That's like marrying a woman with no vagina.

Oh hell da fuq nah! The mods I want are only around $1100!

Cherry_man1 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
09/11/2014 at 16:00

Thats how much the Exhaust for my Mustang GT will be if I get the whole ting at once. Also if I sell the Torino I'm only gonna be looking at like 20-25k maybe. and for that I need the rest to go towards another car.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Cherry_man1
09/11/2014 at 16:04

Why can't I haz more monies right now!! (O_o)

But you have a Mustang GT and are now deciding between NSX, DB7 and a Jaaaaag! I've got a FoST and a 944! That doesn't even compare; I think I'm downright poor as fuck now. :(
