I think were getting off topic here.

1) Replacing the Z
Have you considered the 370Z They're sweet.
And M3 is guranteed satisfaction.
Audi S6, RS4?
Lexus ISF

2)Instead of SLK 55 AMG
*You want a uncommon luxury (non) sedan*
How about.. I don't know if these are out of your price range (or how much they are in the american markets for that matter).
Aston Martin (any)
Jaguar (they have atleast 1 that's a 2 door coupe)
Maserati?
R8?

Those are just the tip of the iceberg, there's so many possibilities.

if an R8 was in his price range i dont think he would be debating buying an SLK 55 AMG

I think the Mercedes C63 AMG should be the dd sedan. Think that'll be my next purchase, unless something else catches my eye by the time I have that sort of money. Always like quick European sedans.

I dont plan on selling, but after its packed away in the garage for occasional use.

Probably a new Z, new Challenger, 335i or an 135i-M

How do you logically go from a Z to an R8? I agree with the above poster in that if you have that kind of money, put it into a nicer house and not a depreciating object which can be stolen.

Personally, my Z is more than just a car to me. It matches who I am more than any other car I have driven. It is fun, hard to control, falls apart on occasion, but in the end is a lovable standout. I don't ever plan to get rid of it.

My next car is going to be a Volvo S60 to replace my wife's Accord when (if) it dies.

Default so..

OP, since you mentioned an SLK ( yes its is UBER ghey, its like the mercedes verious of a miata btw and should generally have a PFLAG rainbow sitcker on it) .. you are obviously a smalller person.. no offense.

In that case, youre BEST bet if you want a nice car is not have two cars that do the same thing. Buy one nice one.

If it was ME?
And if i was a foot shorter?

2003 Lotus Esprit twin turbo v8.

can be had for 50 grand w maybe 12k miles on it.

OR get yourself a nice used 996 turbo.. same price, 50-65k. And then you have a porsche 911 turbo.. end of game, you win.

See how that works ?

OR.. save your money.
