£15,000 To Spend On A Car?

[Rolla nutter]

My line manager at work would like to spend £15K for a car (2nd / brand new) must have open top but SPEED is the top priority but re-sale value is the only thing he concerned about... I have recommended the followings:

1. 03 reg MR2 with ac, leather and the TTE sportpack.

2. newish Mercedes SLK.

3. newsih BMW Z3.

4. can't have mx5 cos he is over 6'3 but he / his mrs love the handling.

5. Vauxhall VX220?

Any comment guys? PLS!!!

Lotus Elise?

They tend to hold there value well, not sure if suitable for 6ft 3'er though?

honda s2000

elise

Yeah S2000 I have already mentioned that but his lad is 20 and his daughter is 21 so he's a bit worried about the insurance issue... he actually thought about a VW beetle convert b4 but I say no more!!!

a bit concern the build quality about elise (the rover K series engine) cos I don't think they are reliable at all!!!
