To use everyday?

If so, 996 X50 Turbo.

Nothing will prepare you for the speed.

Calling Great Pretender!! I believe he had many problems with a 996 GT3.

I would say... Sagaris or the 355


It's a nice decision to make good luck with the hunt

Maybe i should suggest a Mini Cooper with a chrome wrap, they nomally retail about 40k don't they?

Indeed I did, but you'll be relieved to hear that they're not all duffers; just the crashed ones

The 355 and GT3 are very different cars though, so deciding on a winner will require a greater insight into the OP's requirements.

Work hard at your trade for years/decades and save well? Not everyone in their 30/40/50's has had the benefit of a job which lets them post on PH all day.

In a similar position I went for a new Z4MC

The initial purchase price is only the start of the outlay for a 355, and it's going to be a garage queen. I'd had enough of that with my Cerbera.

Britan? Is that a Barry island suntan?

Everyday driver, 550 Maranello.
Weekend toy, 355.

Well said my freind, bunch of cocks.

Aston martin v8v is an ideal daily driver.

[mrh1275]

will a mk1 996 gt3 hold its value better than a 355?

I would have thought so. Look at the prices of 911's shooting up. Any thing with an rs badge goes for silly money, GT3'S are sure to follow. A 355 would be cool though, as much as i love 911's its the best looking modern day Ferrari.

Loving the double posting, and jealous comment.

Based on no knowledge or experience whatsoever I'd probably plump for the GT3. Fezzas are lovely, but i'd just wince every time it made a funny noise.

Good luck with the hunt, must be a bh having to choose between two fantastic motors, eh?
