"Dear Douglass,
I win. Best of all worlds.
BMW reliable = has been know to go a day without (observable) faults.
'91 300ZX, Twin Turbo, $8500
We like Hondas.
Ug. This thing is hideous. It has to be one of the worst looking cars sold in the last 20 years...if not ever. Seriously, if you get this in the wrong color, people will sick up when they look at it.

Man I'm sorry but a 25 year old 928 with unsolved problems? We're talking a car that had difficult to diagnose gremlins when it was new. I wouldn't take that car for free! You could blow the $10,000 budget on repairs and maintenance alone.
Also scary, but for different reasons...
You're forgetting what works for the vast majority of the wealthy:
