A modern classic sports car

I am thinking of buying something silly, fun and unusual.

I have looked at: Maserati 3200 2001, Aston Martin DB7 3.2 2004, Jaguar XK8.

Any other ideas?

A friend of mine has the Maserati, uses it as a daily driver, and has done for at least a couple of years. But he is lucky with cars. Avoid DB7 automatics. They had a horrible old box. XKs much better in this respect.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
