Now that there is no Platinum Sub...

I'm going shopping for a slightly used sports car for Florida home, maybe a two seater exotic. Suggestions?

too many options to list. especially in the FLA used market. there's soooo many in the sub $50k range.

CPO is a must however.

Need a price point to get idea rolling.

I like new but for a weekend toy I could see used making sense.

r8 first gen prices should break with the new one around the corner

911 or cayman or boxster are all fantastic

Jaguar f type is beautiful!

I have a Porsche C4S up north. I thought I would spend around the 50K range for a Florida car I did not have to share. A friend has an Aston Martin convertible for 60ish which is really sharp and I also like the Mercedes SLs. I probably won't put more than 5K miles on it per year and don't want to pay for Ferrari tune-ups at 5-10k. Remember, I have bad knees so I am leaning towards automatics.
