What used car under $120k would you buy?

I would go for an Aston Martin 2002-2004 Vanquish or Vanquish S

I would bite the bullet, and spend ~150k+ on a used f430

But if you really are constrained to $120k... im gonna vote 997 Turbo

no offense, but most of these cars would barely get close to 120k. a used f430 runs about 175 and up. a bently gtc? maybe, but doubtful. a gallardo? no way. a gt2? depends on the generation.

i'd get a used R8 or a V8 Vantage.

One out of 22 of the Used '04 gallardos on ebay right now is over $120k...

Early high mile f430's can be had for ~150k, but it's not an easy find.

Continental GT..... easy to have under 100k.

I've got a buddy that picked up a GT with 4k miles ('05) for 80k.

These cars DO NOT have the resale value you think they do.

The 997 gt2, Can't be had for under 120k.... probably not even under 180k.

Oh, and used R8's are still going for a bit over 120k....
