The £100k car conundrum

[Beefmeister]

Not a conundrum I am facing unfortunately, but it has occurred of late how much amazing metal can be had for £100k and what a glorious choice it would be:

SLS: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/m...



LP550-2 Manual: http://www.wilmslowmotorcompany.co.uk/used-cars/la...



V12V in f**ck you orange: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/a...



Benters: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/b...



599: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/f...



All of these could be used as a daily too (the Lambo might be a push but only if you're a jessie).

Wondrous times!

not bad choices but i'd personally save up a few thousand and go for a 3.0 tdi

[Beefmeister]

Ooh yes, that's the choice to make!

[mackay45]

Good thread! My (imaginary) £100k would be going on one of these I reckon:

360 CS



GT3 RS



Or if I was in a particularly offensive mood on the day of purchase, perhaps one of these:

Continental SS

Its not even grey??? Think of the resale of a non-grey Audi

Nooooooooooo don't publicise that Lambo, let it stay for sale so I can gawp at it daily

If you plan to use a 599 as a daily I suggest getting your own personal pump at the local garage. Nothing empties a tank faster than a 599 around town traffic

This would get my money!

At the 100k pricepoint, nothing gives more bang for yer buck than a Lambo.

hmmm, i win the lottery, so which 1???
bearing in mind, as a kid and to this day dream cars would be a 25th anniversary countach, a testarossa, or an f40, (which is way over budget) so which would be my ideal start??? that 360cs is nice

As a daily, I'd be tempted by the SLS...

It's always been v12v for me but that SLS could sway me.

[Juber]

Save up a little more and buy a Scud

[sa_20v]

CS does look lovely. Saw these blatting around Spa when relatively new - the noise was epic.

[Chad_Hugo]

My default answer to this is always a LP-560 or 599 depending on how the car will be used- both now closer to 90k and a bargain at that money for what they offer.

SLS is IMO overpriced in the 90k-100k bracket.

I keep coming back to the Ferrari 599 when I consider this. The Aston (admittedly not in V12 form) is a relatively common sight. The SLS looks to plain next to the Lambo and I'm not sure that my personality is big enough to carry the Lambo off. The Ferrari covers all of the bases.

I will change my mind again tomorrow.

Doesn't really matter on 5k miles a year or so. Probably about 60 quid a week or so.

The problem being that Mark (msdes123) struggles to leave his 599 parked up on the drive/in the garage!!

I think 5k per month is more to his liking!!!
