One thing you could do is purchase this Maverick Noir Frost CT5-V Blackwing I just specc’d out 😯…
(This is in Canuck dollars, just thought it was an interesting perspective)
$2748 x 84 months = $230,832

Sure as hell wouldn't be that! Maybe a CT4-V BW without added dealer fees. And invest the rest. I'm sure no one will agree with me. Haha.

If it had to be spent on vehicles::
  • sports car: Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0 ($99k)
  • truck: Ford F150 Tremor w/ AWD t-case ($72)
  • electric: Hyundai Ionic 5 AWD ($57k)
Total: $228k

The list above assumes I could keep my 4BW.

If I could spend it on anything, I would make a downpayment on a house in another city. The logistics hassles of selling my current house, buying a new house, and moving 2 cars and 2 cats 1000 miles all by myself is why I have not already moved. A $230k cash wad would simplify that process tremendously. I could buy the new house, move, and then sell my current house after I had vacated.

A 2017 V12 Vantage S with a 7 speed manual if I could find one.

However I'd probably go buy a Wrangler 392 or a Defender V8 to round out my garage with my Z06 and 5BW. Spend the rest on the lifetime of maintenance they will require till I die.

If starting from nothing, an Elise like the one I have ($50k), a 5BW like the one I have on the way to the dealer ($110k w/tax), and a Genesis GV60 for the wifey ($70k).

If I get to keep the Elise and wife's car we have now, then the 5BW and an F430 Spider, and start saving for a manual swap.

2019 ZR1, might have enough left over for a cup of coffee.
The Mecum auction that just ended had eleven, ranging in price from $139K to $350K. $230K would get you a nice one, though.

You could also just pay $162K and pocket $70K rather than financing at 7%! But maybe that's obvious :)

BTW - did you order the 5BW from Forbes in Kitchener? I was #2 on their list (behind the still to be delivered 2022 model) but backed out when I received an allocation from Barry Cullen in Guelph in the fall. I'm guessing you were next in line?

Good luck with the delivery of your 2023! Mine was built about a month ago...but who knows when it may arrive.
