Hey All,

I'm a true analysis paralysis guy. There are literally too many options in the world for fun cars and I can't make a decision. I don't have unlimited funds but my wife and I run a business and clear $500k a year (though that just began this year, so we don't have a decade of wealth built at that salary, but the business is 20 years old and strong). We're selling some real estate and will clear $300k from the sale. I'd like to buy something fun, but I think like $125k would be my limit. Maybe I could trade up later for something spendier if things continue to go well.

Here are some of the many cars that are attractive to me and I simply can't make up my mind, and these are very divergent. I have a preference for convertibles and 4 seats would be great but not mandatory, this likely wouldn't be a daily and I can pick and choose when I'd only need 2 seats.

• Ferrari
  • California 30 HS
  • FF if the price was really good
  • F430/599 GTB are skyrocketing of late, probably out of reach
• Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
• BMW M4 Competition Convertible
• Lexus LC500 Convertible
• Lotus Emira V6 manual
• Shelby Cobra roadster replica (MK4 or such)
• Daytona Coupe Type 65 replica
• Corvette C1 or C2 roadster
• Porsche Taycan CT or ST

Primary purpose is for fun. I don't mind flashy. I live in SoCal so weather is great. I don't track as there's nothing really close. Like I said, this list is all over the place ranging from practical to true weekend cars only. I have an SUV and a Tesla and depending on the car I'd probably keep the Tesla for my daily/work drives, but if I got something like a Taycan CT I would sell the Tesla.

Alternatively I could cool my jets and just wait another couple years and probably open up the field, but ideally most of the above cars would have depreciated significantly already and I won't get hosed too hard there (I know not all of the above have, but many have). Or maybe drive something for 12-36 months and upgrade later.

Poke holes and bring your suggestions and opinions, thanks. 😄
