Resident SRT-4 Expert

Lets see if I can remember all the cars I've bought so far. I'm almost 42 years old now. I moved around a lot but mostly Arizona and Texas so no rust issues. Most of my changes were Automotive ADD, a few were financially motivated as I was super dumb in my early/mid/20's.

1997 - 1989 Ford Escort - 2 door with a 4 speed manual, my first car, gave to my sister
1992 Ford Escort LX - 2 door
2000 Ford Focus SE - first brand new car
2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V (bought new)
2004 Dodge SRT-4 (bought new)
1998 Dodge Neon
2000 Honda Civic
2008 Ford Escape (bought new)
2009 Ford Escape (bought new)
2011 Ford Fusion Sport (bought new)
2012 Ford Explorer (bought new)
2013 Ford Taurus SHO (bought CPO in 2014, still own, the car I've owned the longest in my life so far)
2014 Ford Explorer Sport (bought new)
2017 Ford Explorer Sport (bought new)
2020 Ford Expedition Ltd. w/Stealth pkg. (bought new)

The SHO I've held onto for almost 9 years at this point. Still a great car, runs fantastic, cheap to maintain. Can't really justify getting rid of it, especially since I WFH full-time now and barely drive it. It only has 77K miles on it right now. We take my wife's car/the family car whenever we go somewhere.

I am looking for a fun car like a Mustang convertible or something like that. I have a short window before my oldest turns 16 that I can afford, and actually have fun in a fun car like a Mustang Convertible, but used car prices are nuts and I can't justify spending that much on a toy car I'd have to sell in a few years. I'd only want to own it for the next 3 years tops. I'm also hoping something like a 5 year old Rav4 becomes reasonable price wise in the next few years as my kids start driving as my plan is to buy my daughter something like a lightly used RAV4 that will get her through college if taken care of.
