A quick internet search of new sports cars costing around $50,000 yields pretty much what you would expect: Supras, Mustangs, Chargers and the like.
But do you know what else you could get for that same amount of money? A genuine Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
Hagerty currently values a V8 Vantage in No. 2 condition at $45,700, though we were able to find a few examples selling for less than $40,000–and that's considering that when new, the V8 Vantage would have set you back north of $125,000. Also, did we mention that the Vantage could be had with a manual transmission?
Check out our buyer’s guide for the 2005-2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage over on Classic Motorsports, and let us know what you would rather have if you had the option.

Or for the same price, be able to afford half of a fully restored 69 R/T Charger. (sigh)

Damn can't even get away from tavarish on here
Is there a similar look at the v12 DB7?
Hnnnnng. I love Aston's. If I ever won the lottery (I'd have to buy a ticket first), an Aston would be the first thing I'd buy over anything else.
Although if the 135i broke my heart through my wallet, I'd hate to think what a 15-year old Aston would do to it.

Consume it whole.
1. New Supras are expensive.
2. I know a guy who actually bought a DB5 back in the 1970s for $6,000. He later traded it for a Daimler Dart SP 250 because the DB5 was to fast for him to vintage race.
3. I paid $50,000 for my house.
Anybody know what a Daimler Dart sells for now?
In reply to alfadriver :
Hagerty says a number two example can be had for less than $40,000.
And hey, looks like we have a buyer's guide for the DB7, too.
