Maserati is the cheapest way into Italian exotic ownership. The 1980s Biturbo family averages $13K in our data, the Quattroporte $18K across 171 sales, and the Ferrari-V8 Coupe and Spyder $18K. The sweet spot is the GranTurismo, one of the best-sounding cars ever made, averaging $34K over 326 sales. At the classic end, the mid-engine Merak ($43K) and V8 Indy ($54K) trade at a fraction of their Ferrari contemporaries. Every car here is an exotic with exotic running costs, so budget for them.

A Ferrari-engined luxury sedan averaging $18K, the most car per dollar here

The Ferrari-V8 two-doors of the 2000s at $18K; find a manual if you can

The sweet spot: one of the best exhaust notes ever made, and huge supply
