what car??? £90,000 ish budget??

[jamie766]

Present car (5 years).. Porsche 996 C4 Cab. Faultless perfect everyday usable high performance car. If I get a 997 C4 Cab, then it will get me a slightly different looking version of what I have already, and I think I fancy a change.
Poss options...
Ferrari 360 F1 Spider ( poor build,expensive maintenance??)
Lambo Gallardo (nice but tiny boot space) and not cabriolet
Bentley GT (but maybe wait for the GTC)

help??

[Sharief]

Get a second hand Gallardo.

360 is out of date.

Bentley GT is boring.

You won't get a GTC for £90k unless you're willing to wait months and months (maybe over a year) for one to be available for that price.

cheers.. have test driven a Gallardo, very nice! Any ideas about reliabilty and maintenance costs?

still a bloody nice car, and when do cars go "out of date" anyway?

have you driven one?

[Witchfinder]

Do you have any more detailed criteria? Does it need a boot? How many miles will you do in it? Will it be your daily car? I guess you didn't get £90,000 to spend on a car by throwing money away so will residual value and running costs be a big factor?

[Polarbert]

What makes you want an automatic 360 over a manual one?

Aston Martin DB9.

[I HATE GATSO]

db9 or lambo personally id go for the lambo gallardo in yellow

[COL87]

Aston Martin Vanquish (early one), DB9, AMV8

F430 maybe in a few months could fall to this price. Probably not actually.

Lambo Murci soon will fall around this price on the early 52/03 plates
or a Gallardo

997 turbo around 90k? not sure how much its gonna be

Jaguar XJ220.........

Think they are around 70k maybe 68 or something like that.


There is a new CLK63 in EVO magaine for 65 which sounds lovely.

A used Bentley Flying Spur or Continental.
