Re: convertable sportscars...

You're pushing the budget with both the M3 ($84000 base), or the MB SLK 55 ($83000 base), even the S4 has a base of $82000.

True those are pushing it.

Yes they are but we are just trying to optimize the price range and not really sure if that price is all in or before taxes which changes things by 5-6 grand. Good to know all the options then he should start driving some and see where that leads.

Re: convertable sportscars...

I'd say the top is $80k tax in.
This is a couple in their 50s.

In that case my vote goes with the TT Roadster 3.2

Re: convertable sportscars...

I would go check out an SLK 350 still, 268hp hard top starts at $65,000 worth a drive I think. Nothing wrong with the TT either though

How about a BMW 330i Convertible?

Re: convertable sportscars...

Boxter S would be my choice, assuming I had to get a convertible.

They mentioned the S2000, I mentioned the Boxter. Bang for the buck looks like the BMW Z4 though.....

How do you figure that? I really don't like the Z4.

The Boxter S has a new or upgraded engine or something now, so it is supposed to be pretty quick, but prior to 2005 it was kinda crappy, and the non-S boxter just plain slow.

In any boxter I would just feel like I was driving a bottom-of-the-line Porsche, which is not how I would want to feel in my Porsche. Like the Jag X-Type. Introducing a more affordable car is nice becase we can afford it, but it dilutes the car's prestige and appeal to me.

Re: convertable sportscars...

Thanks for calling me on that one. I misread my little sheet I was comparing the cars on. The Z4 is nothing too special (except in the styling department).

My preference is for the Boxter. Kris, I doubt you'd be upset if you were rollin' in a base boxter - really....

Re: convertable sportscars...
