Hi all,
I'm at that point in my life where I'm thinking about buying a sporty car (not married, no gf, no kids, etc). I'd like used/CPO (I've been told this is the way to go), manual transmission, hard top convertible, and the general slick and fast feeling that every guy wants to get out of a sports car. I would be willing to spend ~55K on this. I currently have a truck (valued ~12K on KBB) and would most likely keep it and use the car for mostly pleasure/weekends/very occasional commute. I am military, so there's a possibility I get sent to an out of country squadron following a training stint in either Jacksonville, San Diego, or Norfolk (that stint will last about just over a year). I find out what my future location will be in about 3-4 months. If I get an out of country squadron, I will not go through with this until I come back.
I've just casually looked online at:
Corvettes
F-types
Z4s
718 Caymans
However, by no means am I a car expert and I'm not sure what I'm missing out on just by searching for things I already know. I'm really not interested in the Camaro, mustang, challenger cars. What do y'all suggest I look at/what do y'all believe is a good first sports car?
Thanks, y'all. Stay safe, wear a mask and hopefully I'll see y'all in football season.
