What cars for a total of 500k?

I read this forum occasionally because of my passion for the Porsche 911. But if I had $500k for cars I would like the following:

'04 996TT cab = 150K
'00 550 Maranello = 145K
'03 Range Rover = 75K
'03 Maserati Coupe F1 = 95K

I guess the rest of $ would go toward maintenance and taxes.

What would you like?

$450,000 carerra gt... $50,000 for futures trading to cover my costs on speeding tickets and impound charges.

I'd cry as I pass ferrari dealer, but I'd keep my chin up.

I'd swap the 550 for a 360 Stradale and dump the Maserati(IMHO very ugly). The Rover is sweet and every house needs a sport ute.

ben, lj has a spectacular aura aboutben, lj has a spectacular aura about
"$450,000 carerra gt... $50,000 for futures trading to cover my costs on speeding tickets and impound charges."

think it usually works more like $50k for CGT deposit, $450k to cover futures trading losses :-)

Accomplice mentioned a 288GTO...that is a sweet car! I thought they were selling for around $250k or so, an F40 is around $300K. However, there were only ~184 288's produced, so it is rarer than the F40. I mentioned the Maserati because it's a low key 4-seater performance car. I love the Maranello's styling, so that would stay on the list, and maybe replace the Maserati with a CL55.
