I do not mind a 10-15 year old car for this - maybe even older if it's the right one
No more unreliable than a Maserati but SO much better looking. Find a rag top manual and you are going to stand out in any crowd, if that is your thing. V12 even better.

A buddy of mine runs point for a guy here - taking care of the guy's cars is one of his duties. They bought a brand new Aston Martin DB11 Volante back in 2021 and it spent more time being repaired in its first six months than being driven. When it worked it was also rather boring to drive, audio system sucked (speaker blew and fell out of a rear panel??), top didn't work right, etc. To be fair the guy also owns a couple of McLaren's so that's probably where the boring part comes in. The car also lost something like $50k in value within the six months that it didn't work so it was dumped (for another McLaren.. if I recall correctly... he was livid having lost so much so fast in a car that was a lemon from the start).
Do Jags share any DNA with Aston Martin? Seems the look awfully alike.
Not sure it would be my thing anyway - kind of gaudy.

I’ll definitely take a look at one.
We’re not in a hurry outside of selling the Hellcat before the market drops even further. I’m not really looking forward to the tire kickers and joy riders. I may take a bunch of pics and throw it up on GiveMeTheVin to see what I get.
Once that part is done, we’ll start looking more closely.
Any thoughts on the SL 55 vs SL 63?

I wouldn't consider a 2023 CPO to be a "used" car.
My point being the Boxster should be on the OP's list....he did ask for opinions on the matter. Yes, you can find 6 figure ones and 4 figure ones. They have been in production forever, so the well is deep and varied.
Heck, I would throw a Miata in there too if you want a REAL bargain and smiles per miles.....
Women like both....that is a big consideration too.

I can't see a guy wiht a 600+ HP Hellcat buying a Miata or 4 banger Boxster
Good thing, he has lots to choose from. That is a good problem to have.
