The Focus RS and TRD came very close to my list, but decided on the Wrangler and Golf R instead, bu was VERY close. 

New 4runner Trail Premium

 

 

New (2016) Golf R DSG w/ DCC & Nav

 

 

New Charger R/T w/ Road & Track Pkg

 

 

Used ZL1 Convertible

 

 

Used 997 C2 (S, if possible)

 

Both the ZL1 and 911 S were on my list as well...I ended up axing them but they were there. I did see a handful of 2006-2007 Carreras and a couple 'S's as well without a zillion miles on them.

The ZL1 is a lot more fun to drive than the new SS, imo. Plus, I was able to get a Vert. So that settled it.

 

And I'd MUCH rather have a 911 than a rebuilt title Aston. Hard pass.

Sorry, this one doesn't have a rebuilt title.

V8 Vantage

Wouldn't touch one w/ that many miles, either. You're brave man.

Lol 60,000? They are that big of pieces of $h!? 

Plus, with 5 cars it really wouldn't get driven much. But as a "dream garage" I have to assume nobody is really considering maintenance and that $h! otherwise I'd just swap it for a GT500/ZL1.

Uh, let's just say they're not known for reliability, especially the earlier cars, and especially at higher mileage levels.

 

I took these threads to imagine we were spending our own money on them, and for me, a 50,000+ mile Aston is too big of a risk. I do love them, however. If we keep getting higher price brackets, a Vantage could very well end up on one of my lists.

I would take the R but still take the TRD....but my thinking also...

Agreed....!

More courage than me....!

My list...very simple...

Both a WRX STI and a Golf R, best used Cayman I can find, Golf All Track wagon, and a pristine used Evo...which has not depreciated much....

If the Evo could not be located, i would take a clean used Lotus of some variation....

Mustang GT premium with performance package (Grabber Blue)

Focus RS

Acura TLX V6

2013 Lexus GX460 (IMO better looking then the new 4Runner and new G460, and as capable)

2008 Z06 (can get one with pretty low mileage)
