What car £80k

[Red 3]

Sadly not for me but a good pal is in the fortunate position to treat himself.

Car will be his "fun" weekend motor. But he would like the option to fit his kids in the back so sadly no 2 seaters.

What "special" car would you recommend?

[ewenm]

911 of some description?
If not big enough maybe a Quattroporte?

[TwoTonneKarmann]

Ferrari 612.

[PaulB81]

Does it need to be new? DB9 would be tempting if not.

[Bullett]

GTR?

[Red 3]

Nope doesnt have to be new.

He's currently liking the Masa Grand Turismo.

He prefers a bit of luxury and build quality vs out and out racer performance so that counts out stuff like the GTR and GT Porsches.

612 Fezza nice but hes had a 355 and a 360 before and wants to try something different.

[Forthright MC]

Maserati Quattroporte GTS perhaps?
Would tick all the boxes for comfort, luxury and pace for me. Not to mention its a staggeringly pretty machine that isn't a BMW or a big Merc!

Porsche Panamera could be worth a look too

12 cylinders vs 8 and front as opposed to mid engine?

If he fancies quality then game set and match:

This was his last car ( not the exact one), but very nice indeed...

RS6 Plus http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3397745.htm I was seriously considering one of these cars before I bought my current car

[ksa_royal]

or this E63 AMG http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3112422.htm

[mr_tony]

Basically he is looking gt.
Dong say how old kids are - which is key...


Continental GT Speed
Aston Rapide - and a big haggle
Maserati Granturismo
Aston vanquish if kids are small
Ferrari 612 - try it - drove one 2 weeks back fantastic and a world away from a 360 - 355
After that a Brabus tuned merc CL is an option if you want to blend in and go bonkers fast...

[Fleckers]

there must be an Aston Martin that fits the bill

Oh to be in this situation though

[David87]

I'd take some kind of 911 or a C63 AMG Coupé and money for a holiday.

I know, lucky bugger. Kids are both under 4 so can be a 2+2.....doesnt have to be a full size saloon, thinking more GT coupe. I wonder how Eagle E Type FHC go for!!

[mr_tony]

I think the choice is really whether he wants a 2+2 or whether it seems Like a good idea but the kids will never really be in it...

I looked at all these then bought 1 car for me on the basis we already had a car for family duties. Just makes more sense.

If he is set on a 2+2 then the Bentley and the Ferrari will hold some money, a newish Maserati (grancabrio would be my choice unless he plans to take luggage) will lose a chunk when you drive it away.

Can't see the point of buying
a saloon as a special car at that price point. Won't be special in comparison to the options.

Yeah, I love the Audi RS6 and the E63AMG, but for £70k?! No thanks! They're nice, but not special enough for me to warrant that price tag. Mad money for a car that looks not far off a diesel estate costing £15k second hand.

Got to be some kind of Ferrari or Maserati for me.
