Just get a "reasonably" priced sports car of your desire and enjoy it - stop worrying about it's resale value. If you want to invest, find something else to invest in. A car is a terrible investment.

I buy every car knowing that it would be worthless by the time I'm done with it. But then again, I have only owned 4 cars in my entire life and 3 of them are still in the garage (actually 2 are in the garage and one in the driveway).

If you go through cars like underwear, consider renting your dream cars when there's the itch to drive something exotic...much cheaper in the long run and you get to actually enjoy the car worry-free!
Agreed. Which is why pretty much all my M's are used with some mileage when I bought them. Still have yet to sell one, although I've sold 2 of my non M's before.

I know I won't lose too much money on them value wise, which is a great feeling.
