Looking for a coupe / convertible in the 40-50k range for weekend driving. Thinking a f-type convertible but open to suggestions. Has to have a decent interior and enough power to make it fun to drive on a windy road. Manual is a plus

Mustang GT350 or Corvette c7 Z06 or Grandsport can be had for your price range slightly used and manual

Honestly, the best value in convertibles is to go with a classic. I paid $15K for my Olds Cutlass then put in about $5k for light restoration/maintenance.

The Rocket 350 engine has more than enough power for fun weekend driving.

If your budget is in the $40-50k range, there are tons of good options for you.

Miata is always the answer. Fantastic handling, reliability, excellent community, and its Italian cousin the Fiat 124 has more power if that's what you're looking for. Definitely available in manual, which is increasingly less the case in luxury cars like Jags, Mercedes, etc. Save yourself 10K!

If you enjoy your car being in the shop, go for the f-type. Especially since for 40-50k you’d be buying used.

I know about all the issues with older jags, even the new ones have that? It's pretty easy to find a 2017-2018 with under 10k miles under 50

A/S5 Cabriolet, 440i BMW

Mercedes SL (would have to buy used)

Go with the F-type. Absolute Stunner. Unless u go the big three (P911, F430 or Lambo) go with the Ftype.

M2 is a BEAST

Tell me your craziest experience working with a TV network. Here comes mine:

I'm American, but my family is mostly Colombian. I was told my aunt and cousins would come here for 2 weeks. I discovered they were going to be paid to appear in a famous Hispanic TV show, where a "judge" receives a case, hears the plaintiffs and defendants and renders a verdict. But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.

How do my fellow automotive fish feel about buying a used 911 4S convertible ? About 10 years old, maybe like 60k miles and up to 3 owners. Always wanted a nice car and honestly can’t afford a new 911 so thinking about this. Seeing some around 60-70k and plan to use for 5-7 years and hopefully then sell for about half (30-40 k). Is the idea feasible and anything I should be concerned about? Any tips (like model year / trim) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello all. Coming to this group with a transparent question. I’m in the market for a new car, coming from a Hyundai sante fe.

I’m 25, and I want to drive something sporty, under 43k, and reliable, 4 doors. I’m all over the place and having a hard time narrowing down. Curious if anybody has suggestions.

For context, I live in Atlanta, 25, works for Google making around 120k annually.

Thank you all so much in advance!

I got a huge TC raise and looking for a new car. I am deciding between:
- Porsche 911 base
- Porsche 718 Cayman/Boxter
- Tesla Model S
- Taycan base or 4S

I’ve driven a Tesla for a year or more and feel like I know what I’m getting into. I am single, 29, and have the cash to buy any one of these, but looking for the right value/car ratio.

Thoughts?
