Default Advice on cars

After owning an IS350 for 2 months, I carve something sportier at times. Lately I have been debating between whether on keeping my IS350 and getting a second sportier car ( 350z, S2000 - along those lines) or trading it in and getting a high-end luxury/sport car(BMW M3, Porsche 911, or Lexus IS-F). Will getting a second sportier car be a disappointment and I should just look towards the higher-end market? Will my insurance be higher if I choose to get one high-end car or two lower-end luxury cars? Any other advice for me feel free to state.

I don't think a Porsche 911 could ever be disappointing.
That's my favorite car.

If you trade in your IS350 for a higher-end luxury car, do you still have an extra car as a daily driver? I personally wouldn't want to drive a Porsche 911 or M3 everyday and every little thing I need my car for. If you have an extra everyday car, I say go for the higher-end sports car but if you don't then I say get another sports car that is less expensive so you can swap the IS350 and the other back and forth.

Plus trading in the IS350 after two months will just be a huge loss to you.

I am not worried about insurance, I just want to weight out the pluses and minues to each senario.

I don't have another car for daily driving; however, I don't mind driving a higher end car everyday. Well I might have a honda accord (hand me down car) for a backup purposes soon just incase something goes wrong with my other car(s).

If you don't mind driving a high-end car everyday, I say go for it. I just prefer to have a real nice car as a weekend car but it's all personal preference. Plus you have an extra car in case anything goes wrong or the car needs repair so I say go for it.

Good luck on your purchase.
