Just drove an e550 wagon the other day. Awesome car. I love my '04 e500 wagon, but wow... that thing was a machine.

An early Cayman/Cayman S but they are still $35-40k up here. I am likely better off waiting for a 2009 though as they have no IMS. We really don't put many miles on our two cars so hard to justify anything for me for at least two years.

Can't justify 2nd hand BMW or VW if there is no warranty. I would trust a used Lexus though something small like the IS 250. Even my wife suggested trying a Lexus for fun!

I'm waiting to buy a silver cayman. It won't be long as my daughter will be graduating from college in a couple years and that will free up about 20k a year

2013 Jaguar F-type V8 S

The sound is remarkable and the performance is just right for a convertible!

Knowing how BMW's depreciate, for a while I was thinking some day a Z8 would be affordable. Not gonna happen...

I'm holding out for a nice LWB, tall Sprinter van for motorbike race duty. Prices on used units are sky-high. I also want a F430 Spider in red/black with 6 speed.

Looking for a few cars to come in. We'd like to find an '08-'10 911 2wheel drive, same year Mini Turbo, for me I'd like to find a Caterham or Elise S.

Better hurry up on the Elise. At the rate those are being wrecked, you may not be able to find them soon. There was one on ebay this week that had been salvaged twice.

By the way, the Elise is my favorite car to drive that we own.

Looks like I am in good company....

Cadillac CTS-V wagon In manual of course...


Lotus 190 or Elise


Separately, if it was available in the US, my next car would probably be the Alfa Romeo 159 SW...now that the A4 is no longer available in wagon, manual, quattro....

V wagon (or Vagen) as the CTS-V guys call it has been DISCO'D for 2014. There's a new V coming out in a year, so as with all GM products the value will fall through the floor shortly.

The only sore point is GM products holds value about as well as vegetable produce or ice cream- so buy it now, and take a royal ass whuppin, as bad as any AMG and most M vehicles..
