, a Mustang, or another impractical but flashy ride in hopes of slowing father time down. Still, we know it can get far more extreme. So we’re asking you. What’s the best midlife crisis car on the used market for $30,000 or less?
It’s easy to imagine that something like the cars mentioned above would be a good choice as they define the stereotype. They’re too impractical, they’re too compromised, and they stand out as very clear midlife crisis choices for the person who’s only had a minivan or an SUV for years. No, we’re thinking about cars that are so impractical that people might be impressed with just how crazy you’ve gone.
It seems like maybe the best move is to go big. So why not sink your hard-earned cash into something likethat looks like something far more special? They’re wildly shaped, very vintage, and odd enough that most everyone who’s not a car person will think that it’s incredibly expensive . Actually, almost any well-done kit car could check those same boxes.On the other hand, you can get a whole lot of actual race cars for $30,000.
Is it the right move to play it safe though? Maybe the ‘best’ midlife crisis car is one that allows you to learn the lesson and then sell it before you get hurt. Perhaps you feel like midlife crisis and impracticality don’t necessarily need to go together. What say you? Let us know in the comments below!
