Agree. We had to sell because of financial issues. I paid $33k in 2012 for it and it would be worth $50k now.

I love the 996 Turbos. Had a 991 Turbo S cab loaned to me for a long weekend in L.A. a few years ago and we both loved that car. Only issue with the 996 is (a) very antiquated interior, it looks and feels old, she won't like that and (b) too expensive. Quality 996T's with low mileage run mid to high $40k's.

If you stretch the budget a little a 2014ish M6 or 650 might be a contender. |

How about the Amphicar?
You can use it in most lakes, and grocery shopping. |

I think I might be the luckiest guy on earth... I was trying to get the wife into an X1/X3 or Q3 but she wanted something that is easier to manoeuver in tight spots(ie her work place parking lot). So what does she pick? A mid level Toyota Yaris.
I just bought a new Ducati. Win-Win!!! |

Well this didn't take long to digress into the SUVs that are killing the enthusiast market...

Wife says SUV's are just minivans for people who can't admit they drive a minivan.

All we have in the garage at the moment is the Alfa, Mini, and 4 series.

In her defense as well - where we live - they are freaking everywhere - I mean all over, like I see at least a dozen every day to and from work. As such, it doesn't really stand out.

The F-Type coupe is on my short list of cars to own someday. Are you specifically looking for RWD models? I know people love the V8 in this car, but I think the sweet spot is the supercharged V6 with the 6MT, although they are rare.
