Not actually shopping but just spur of the moment navel gazing. I like less common stuff. Still love my F type other than the existential anxiety of something going wrong. Hated my mustang. (GT500 still something I'd love to rent at least)
I noticed Maserati's a fair amount out here. Surprising, but OK seems to get a lot of models that go to die and have poor dealership support and come here to die. I've watched random Throttle house video's etc, but I'm not really up to date with what they offer, I assume they are even worse than the jag for having a grand tour fast option that doesn't shit the bed before 100k miles?
In a few years will be starting to shop for a new car unless my shitbox commuter finishes converting me to just being old and not wanting to tie up money in a car I agonize over trying to keep nice and running. The c8 grandsport was high on the list for being it sounded like a bit more torquey and better sounding than a full track weapon, better daily. On other hand I've been watching the little teases about the new Celica closely since the GR GT is well outside my range. Not sure what else might pop up in the next couple years, though essentially plan is finding something cool from the last 5 years that has depreciated nicely. Not sure if any of the Aston's I'd be interested in might be hitting that 40-60k budget by then.

Maserati is a dead brand.
Used they have FIAT reliability with Ferrari repair costs. Friend had one. Back to back transmission repairs. By back to back I mean in the span of two weeks. Parked it in his garage for a couple years and an engine ECU shit the bed sitting there. Took a bath on resale. They are cheap for a reason.

Man, do not ever buy a Maserati. An Aston Vantage with the 4.7 NA V8 is a good buy, if it comes with service history. Keep it maintained, keep miles on it and it will be fine.
