430s seem to be the sweet spot. I half-heartedly follow the market. With the chain driven cams (not belts) you’re not pulling the engine every 3-5years to replace them. The cats don’t seem to fail nor the valve guides fail at anywhere near the rate of the earlier ones. You can get into one for $125k if you look around. Not a number most people can hide from the wife, but they have bottomed out in terms of depreciation and are slowly climbing, so you could get out of it when you wanted (minus your maintenance $$).
If you buy an earlier model, the purchase price is just the ante at the big boy table.
