Late night / hi all-

Recently I’ve been thinking of purchasing a second car as a weekend/investment kind of thing.

My job consists of driving and I drive an EV (boo). I haven’t been in-to cars for a long time but I keep my tabs on prices/market.

I wanted some advice as I want best bang for buck value but my gripe is this: long term ownership costs, would it outweigh the profit? It would be garaged and driven probably less than 2k miles a year at the most.

I’d ideally keep it between 5-8 years I think, a few factors depend on ownership but it’s a rough estimate.

I’ll keep it simple I have these cars in mind and they’re very different from one another.

GTR R35 any version. But it seems 2nd Gen (DBA) is the one to go for in terms of value for money?

Some sort of exotic 2 seater, Gallardo/R8/Raari of some sort.

Or

A Honda S2000/Lotus Elise of some sort.

Again very different spectrums. I feel the cheaper option is probably the safest.

Again I have no experience of these cars but judging by some members having owned/have these I thought I’d ask.

Thanks in advance.
 
Thank you for all the replies. It makes sense to get what I’d be happy with. Sadly, I am of those who reads the negatives online more than the positives and struggle to decide what is a good bang for buck buy/less risk.

I’ve never owned a roadster of any sort so it may be the way I’d go with this purchase.
