    Porsche. Although today in Covid market they are a good $15k to $20k more expensive than 1 year ago for the same car.

    Just add a fabspeed by pass or full exhaust and you are good to go.

    Only issue i have with the P market is that nice color combos are hard to find. It seems 80% of the cars are black or silver or grey which are just nice. Not amazing. I say this as a previous black 997 and 991 owner.

    If you can find a very clean and well maintained GS Spyder, they would be fun to play with too and can be had for $30k.

    My wife had a 2014 GranSport Spyder for about three years. It was her daily driver. Completely easy to own and no issues.

    The only reason we don’t have it anymore was a new family member in 2016. She started driving another SUV and we traded the Maserati in on a G-wagon.

    Always loved those Vantages. I'd go with the Aston if I could find one with a manual because the single-clutch automated transmissions are trash.
