*HI...I'm seeking a Reliable sports Car. Aston Martin, Porsche, or Corvette?

Good evening, it's Jay. Im a high school Junior. Im a Server at the Olive Garden restaraunt. I pull in anywhere from $600 to $1000 a week. Now because I dont spend much of what I make, I'm interested in a reliable car. Yeah I know Honda's & Toyotas are the world's most reliable make with some cars lasting as long as 300,000 miles with "minor" repairs. I just need something a little bit more high-end & stylish, but will also last me a long time. I mean, Is that asking too much?LOL

So given the scenario, only 3 cars in my price range come up that I like. Which out of the three do YOU think is the better purchase long-term???

A) Corvette C6 (Base model more reliable?)

B) Porsche Cayman

C Aston Martin V8 Vantage

    The C6 Corvette should be quite reliable as it is the simplest of the three. It will not be cheap to insure. It will likely be the least expensive to do scheduled maintenance on -- oil changes, etc.

    The Aston Martin will cost you much more initially, be expensive to insure, and after the warranty is gone (You did say long-term, and I'm assuming you're buying new.), is likely to need the most repairs of the three.

    The Porsche, as nearly all Porsches, is virtually bullet proof (Fifty percent of ALL Porsches EVER built are still running). It will likely be the least expensive of these three to insure, dependent of course on your situation. The Porsche will carry as much as the Corvette (not much in either case), but not so much as the AM.

    If you want a bigger car, pay the price and get the AM. Choosing between the Corvette and the Porsche, I recommend the Porsche.

    As for all of these, I would not a choose a Corvette, me personally, am a Chevy person, I have always loved Chevy, but quality is lowering. So, I would automatically cut a Corvette out of the list.

    Next, It is obviouslly between the Aston Martin and Porsche. Now, I know a lot about Porsche's, I own an 07' Porsche 911. I love it, I still drive it to this day, but Aston Martin is another great trusted brand, to get straight to the point, depending on what you're looking for, I would choose the Porsche.

    Porsche's are a more trusted brand, as far as Speed and quality go. An Aston Martin offers better Luxury features though. Porsche's are my favorite brand, but considering I have owned several throughout my life, I would choose it still.

    Aston Martin will offer the higher quality inside, while porsche offers offers the higher quality under the hood.

    So, I would look at the cheaper one, because bother a very good cars. I really mean that, I love bother a Porsche and Aston Martin, but have only owned Several porsches.

    Sorry, I hope this helped, Go for the Porsche.

    Good Luck in your Car hunt.

    A corvette has terrible visibility and is very hard to park because you sit so low.

    An Aston Martin is impossible to get worked on or get parts for.

    A Porsche Cayman is remotely possible but still they are all too expensive for a person that young.

    You should be saving for major investments, like a house or college.

    Once you realize how much money you will have to spend on tuition or rent, you will wish you had not wasted it on a car.

    Think about it. When you pay rent, in 20 years you have nothing to show for it.

    If you buy a house, in 20 years it can be paid off and sold for a total profit.

    All it takes is a down payment.

    Which you will not be able to afford if you spend that much money on a car.

    Life is short, so don't make mistakes when you are young.

    Aston Martin Vantage Reliability

    Ha! That's a pretty easy one. yes, I may be a 13 year old girl, but I know my cars.

    My dad had a Cayman. It's great, Porsches are very reliable, great looking and drives really well. it takes a lot for it break down. It's a great everyday car, and probably make you look really good. In case you were wondering, my dad changed to a 911, he loves his Porsches!

    Aston martins break down. A lot. Yes, they are pretty and enticing but if you are looking for a reliable car, the Aston is definitely out on this one.

    Not sure about the Corvette, but they are not known for being reliable.

    I would go for the Porsche.

    I guess for your budget, just get a used Corvette C6 base, and with a clean carfax. You won't be able to afford to get a car for long-term use until you get a real job. Then after that, you can trade the vette and then get either a Porsche or an Aston Martin. However, if you and your parents come to an agreement, and decide that having an Aston Martin in the household is worth it, then you all would pitch in, and the car would stay with your parents.

    You don't make enough money to support a Porsche or an Aston Martin, and you don't make enough money to insure a C6 Corvette at your age. I bet it would cost you at least $300 a month to insure. That's crazy.

    Be realistic, and choose something within your means. Get a Miata with a removable hardtop, for instance.

    Also, unless you've been racing karts all your life, you don't have the skill to drive any of those cars and you'll kill yourself in no time.
