Lease final impractical car

InsideInsurance

If you had £1,000 a month for a 3+36 month personal lease on a "sports" car without the need to consider practicalities (ie 2 seats is fine) beyond being able to fit a weekend bag in it what would you shortlist? Coupe or convertible suggestions appreciated

What's on the menu then? (i.e. lease company list & prices?) I have no idea what the lease costs are.

That's amazing! didn't think they were still made? presumably made in very limited numbers, but seems a great price, tempted myself at that price, just wonder what it is like on fuel?

No they not made any more however in usa there a main trader who bought up all the thousands of parts and the name. There where about 36000 made bit they made so many parts for the car that they could have made another 100000 cars with parts alone.

That's what I thought, so these are effectively hand made from "parts" I suppose the originals were too, as opposed being mass produced on a production line in the same way as a Ford or VW.

At this price, are they any good?

Brilliant.

911, R8, 6 Series BMW.

Quite a choice : SLK-350 Z4-350 Cayman/Boxster XK etc

Aren't the 911 size (as above) quite a bit more than a grand ?

InsideInsurance

I assumed the R8 would be too.... the SL350 could possibly scrape in -v- the SLK350. In theory these two would be the top of the list but the SLK always seemed girly and had an unjustifiable love/ hate of the last gen SL (realise its now changed)

Hadnt thought of the XK or the F-type so will add them to the research list.

M3 cockvertable can be had for less than £1,000 a month with a deposit. I'd go for one of them !
