They are on the affordable side of the Italian exotics, but then I'm reminded of Top Gear's "Budget Supercar Challenge" (although I think they budgeted even less than you). Anyway, I think the Espadas are beautiful in an unusual way. I also like the Maserati Boras (which are in about the same price range). I'd say as long as you budget for uber-pricey repairs, an Espada would be a lot of fun.
